We loved Sandy's place and wish we could have stayed longer. Captain Cook is a great jumping off point for the West side of the Big Island, this place is conveniently located about 2 miles from the Captain Cook snorkeling trail. Plumeria Cottage is located next to Sandy's main home but still felt private. It has wonderful views of the ocean and sunset. The place was spotless and tastefully decorated. The washer and dryer proved to be very helpful as well. Sandy provides beach towels, chairs, boogie boards, and snorkeling gear. Don't miss out on this wonderful spot!
