Totally Tropical Bungalow

JUNGALiCiOUS!

Escape to the Wild in this Bold Bohemian Jungle Pad! Let your wild heart roam free—then return to comfort.

This jungle hideaway has all the essentials: A/C, vaulted ceilings, a foam-topped queen bed, partial ocean/garden views, a workspace, kitchenette, and a tub to unwind. Enjoy seasonal fruit fresh.

We clean thoroughly using antibacterial products and best practices. Our sea cozy daybed and air mattress accommodate extra guests or kids.

SEE
The Hawaiian Jungle surrounds you. Take in the tree top views of birds, mongoose and wild chickens. The large windows of the living room overlooks the tropical gardens, island gazebo and BBQ area. From your bed, you can see the ocean, mountains and the bright sea of stars that light up the night sky.

TASTE
Complimentary tea and coffee are just two of many delights awaiting your palate. Stroll the near acre of land, enjoy our special Palapa and BBQ area with games, and pick ripe avocados, bananas, guavas, lychee and starfruit when in season.

HEAR
Just outside your door, the rhythm of the jungle is alive. Songbirds awaken you to each new day, hens cluck and coo, and a chorus of Caribbean coqui frogs sing you to sleep.

SMELL
The aromas of tropical fruits and flowers permeate the air. Tropical ginger and hibiscus flowers grow in the garden just outside your door. Sometimes, when the wind is just right, whiffs of roasting Kona coffee imbue the air.

FEEL You'll feel cool and comfortable in your air-conditioned nest. Enjoy the Velvety cushions on your Indonesian daybed, and the high quality ultra soft bedding of your memory foam bed.

We absolutely loved staying here during our time in Big Island for our honeymoon. This is in a great location in Captain cook close to a lot of good spots to eat and nearby some great snorkeling. The hosts even provided snorkeling gear, beach chairs & an umbrella which was so lovely. The stay was comfortable, clean & cozy. We loved the property full of gorgeous landscape & views and of course the sweetest orange kitty, Papaya!

We absolutely loved our stay at Jungalicious Refuge Mountain! Staying in the local area gave us a much more authentic Hawaiian experience than a typical resort. The property was peaceful, beautiful, and a perfect base for exploring the Big Island.

Shaheer and Maria were incredible hosts-friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with recommendations and local tips. One of the things we appreciated most was that they generously loaned us snorkeling and beach gear, which made our adventures so much easier and saved us money.

If you're looking for a genuine Hawaiian experience and hosts who truly care about their guests, we highly recommend staying here. We would gladly stay again on our next trip to Hawaii!

Kona mountain refuge was just that, our refuge. During our stay we watched the sunsets, whale watched, took in the town of Kona, swam and enjoyed all it offered. We would then come back to a comfy bed, our personal fluffy greeter (papaya).


Jungilicious was just what we needed, with comforts of a full one bedroom apartment, AC, great fans and easy access to town. Would definitely stay again. Really loved the snorkel gear and beach chairs that were available to use!
