Charming, romantic honeymoon cottage hideaway, surrounded by a rainbow of native flowering plants and trees and tucked away on a quiet hillside acre with unequaled ocean and sunset views.

Spacious "open air" (screens, no glass windows) cottage with an extra-large bedroom with bamboo king size bed, roomy bath with tub/shower, private washer/dryer with detergent and other supplies furnished at no extra charge.
Full kitchen comes equipped with all small appliances including coffee grinder and rice cooker. The cottage sleeps six in two beds and fold-out sofa. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, mango, papaya, banana, coffee and avocado trees, wild turkeys, pheasants and other island birds. Experience the "true" Hawaii, away from the hustle and bustle of town but only ten minutes by car to Kona Town or popular snorkeling and boogie-boarding beaches, five minutes to grocery shopping, 20 minutes to beautiful Kealakekua Bay and Captain Cook Monument and two hours to Kilauea Volcano.
Holualoa is a small artist community at the 1,200-foot elevation of Mt. Hualalai, overlooking the town of Kailua-Kona and the Pacific Ocean. Visit the many galleries and coffee houses in this charming community. We are located right next door to the famous Donkey Mill Art Center, three miles south of the center of town.

Wow! Your honeymoon cottage was perfect for our honeymoon! We look forward to many more visits in the future. I can see why people come here and never leave - it is paradise! We bought bird seed - what a joy to lay in bed and be awakened by the chatter of birds. First day we drove Hwy. 11 around to the Volcano National Park - breathtaking. Second day we drove Hwy. 19 around. First part not so great but then you round the top and WOW! Third day we did farmers market and local things...wonderful. I think that third day was my favorite. Thank you for being you! Thank you for making our stay on your beautiful island SO special. Don't forget to tell your guests about all the information on Channel 9 on TV. Loree Wow! What can I say? Just "WOW". Loree and I are already planning our next stay here at the honeymoon cottage. We decided at least 2 to 3 weeks or even a month next time. Beautiful birds, flowers, beaches, mountains, friendly people - seems very laid back, kinda like Alaskans. So many things to do. You have a beautiful cottage here Betty, the view! - DON'T WANT TO LEAVE! Loree and I will be back - sooner than you think! You are truly the host of hosts. THANK YOU Betty! We love you. May God continue to bless you. See you soon. Dan and Loree, your favorite Alaskan friends!

Betty - our stay in your lovely cottage was most comfortable. We had everything we needed and we appreciated the added touches (fresh flowers, the mapbook, etc.). We enjoyed all the tropical plants and their attendand birds! It was a perfect week! P.S. The saffron finches and java sparrows at the back deck feeder were delightful companions!

Dear Betty. What's left to say? It's all been written already! Beautiful place, great hospitality, perfect location. (See? Everyone else has already said it - and better!) We really enjoyed our trips with "Sunlight on Water". Their dolphin swim was amazing and the night swim with manta rays can't even be described, it was so incredible. Another outing we loved was ziplining with "Big Island Eco Adventures" up in Kohala. Wow! Both these outfits had great staffs and we highly recommend them. Thanks so much Betty for a great time!

Betty, thank you for the excellent hospitality. What an amazing way to begin our honeymoon. It does not get much better than this. We really enjoyed the roosters in the morning. Mama Kitty is very nice as well. Good to meet you. Mahalo.

Dear Betty, thank you for providing an oasis for humans, birds and geckos. We appreciate your care for the land and creatures. We are leaving you some prayer flags - perhaps the gentle onshore winds of the day and the night winds from mauka will blow prayers to all beings on this island and beyond. See you again. Aloha Maile & family

Betty, thank you for your wonderful hospitality! The cottage is beautiful and the view spectacular. We have a sunrise wake-up every morning from a local rooster - we love it! First day - jet lag - ate at Wasabi's - excellent sushi. Second day - breakfast at Coffee Shack. Awesome! Lunch at Pescatore in Hilo, waterfalls, amazing, drove around the whole island. Dinner at Rin Thai. Excellent with view of sunset over the ocean. Third day - made a great breakfast - ate out on porch overlooking ocean, birds everywhere - exquisite - romantic.

We had a great time this week and feel privileged to have stayed here. The shows with the geckos were awesome! Thanks for providing a grill so we could cook up some fresh ahi from Sack N Save. The views are spectacular as well, especially the wicked sunsets over the horizon. And waking up to those views was awesome! We couldn't have picked a better place to stay and can't wait to come back someday. Stay awesome, Hawai'i!

Betty, this cottage was a perfect getaway for our honeymoon. We enjoyed the view, were entertained by the geckos and loved experiencing the afternoon and evening rainstorms from the deck. Your recommendations for beaches and local restaurants were very helpful as well. We really enjoyed the snorkeling at "69 Beach" and next to Captain Cook Monument in Kealakekua Bay. We even drove out to the Green Sand Beach off of South Point Road, truely out of this world.........we highly recommend it. We couldn't imagine a better place to spend our honeymoon and are saddened by our impending departure. Thanks for everything and we'll be seeing you again.

Betty, thank you for another memorable stay. This Honeymoon Cottage defines our experience on this Kona Coast. The sea view, breezes, decoration and tropical gardens are refreshing.
