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. Watch the sunset each evening from your private and secluded lanai while the fish steaks are cooking on the gas BBQ. Spacious "open air" (screens, no glass windows) cottage with an extra-large bedroom with bamboo king size bed, roomy bath with tub/shower, private full size washer/dryer.

Full kitchen comes equipped with full size major appliances and small appliances including coffee grinder and rice cooker. The cottage sleeps six in two beds and fold-out sofa. Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, 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. You can enroll in art lessons at the art center while you're here.

There are some fabulous eating establishments within minutes of our honeymoon cottage. We will furnish you a list of those and other area attractions upon your arrival.

                What a wonderful, private setting. Everything is here that you need to feel at home after a day of Hawaii exploring. We loved the nature sounds and the "pet" skinks and gekos. Thanks, Betty, for the beautiful flowers and we will be recommending your cottage to our friends and family.

                Dear Betty, thank you for making the honeymoon cottage SO cozy and thank you for being such a great host. We loved staying here for our honeymoon! This place is so lush and teeming with life. We especially liked filling the bird feeder and watching a variety of birds come to it. The turkeys were fun to watch as well as the rooster with family in tow. The cats were sweet too. What a memorable place! I will miss the open air of your cottage! Lastly, thank you again for coordinating with our friends, Susie and Dulcie, for our wedding treats. Susie said you and she had been e-mailing since February! That was the most touching surprise - it took awhile to figure out that you all had put that together. It was awesome! With love, Hilary and Scott, San Francisco

                Aloha! We loved staying here and hope to return. Fun things we did: snorkeling early a.m. at 2-step (Honaunau) and Kealakekua Bay, Friday night hula and chant performance at Keauhou Shopping Center, Kanaleapila at Keauhou Outrigger Resort (bring your own ukelele). Loved the lanai feel of this whole cottage! Aloha & Mahalo!

                Betty, thank you so much for your generosity and sharing your beautiful cottage with us. It is exactly the introduction to the Big Island we'd dreamed of. We are moving on with mixed emotions but if we ever make it back, your lovely home will be our first choice. Best Regards, Andi & John P.S. The pineapple was delicious, thanks for sharing!

                Good morning Betty! We love, love, loved the cottage! Thank you, everything was perfect. It is a nature lovers' paradise. I really enjoyed the deck each morning, listening to the songs of the birds and looking out over the tree tops to the ocean below. What a fantastic VIEW!! The sunsets are spectacular! I really wish we could stay longer! There was a lovely rain storm last night and we enjoyed listening to the rain drops on the roof while being cozy and comfortable inside. It is very peaceful here. Thanks for a wonderful experience. Warmest Aloha

                Betty: Mahalo!!! Karen and I had a lovely time here in your beautiful cottage. You were a very gracious hostess. We travel quite a bit and will be back to Hawaii in the next few years as there were many places we didn't get a chance to visit. If you would have us we would very much enjoy staying here again. Next on our menu is an Alaskan cruise and then, hopefully, back here. We found a wonderful restaurant on the way back from the volcano and ironically just up the road from here. the name of it is "Amici" and was one of the best meals we have ever enjoyed. We would highly recommend it. Again, thanks for everything. It was wonderful. P.S. The frog story will be told and re-told. Thanks for your understanding. P.P.S. Thank you for the avocados.

                We were quite content when we arrived at the Honeymoon Cottage. It was a little house, just for us. The balcony and screened-in lanai look out over the ocean and we enjoyed three great sunsets. The balcony also had a bird feeder which we filled in the mornings and watched the bird colony come out to eat. Very entertaining. The decor was local Hawaiian, with fresh flowers waiting for us. The best part was the bed...super comfortable with nice sheets. It was a lovely retreat and Betty (the owner) has provided a great vacation getaway.

                Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.

                Owner response: It is important to me that all guests in my cottage enjoy their time here and I appreciate guests posting reviews with VRBO. Thanks to this guest for taking the time to post.

                Adorable cottage located above the hustle and bustle of neighboring Kailua-Kona, although quick to drive to when wanted/needed. Very quiet except for the generous helping of birds singing! This cottage was equipped with everything we needed and more. So convenient to have the private use of a washer/dryer within the house. We made use of the grill on the lanai for a couple of home cooked meals and enjoyed eating and happy hour on the lanai while watching the sun set over the ocean....lovely view! We especially enjoyed the open air concept of the screen-only windows....very nice. Some of the interior furniture has been updated since the photo, but all amenities stated in the description were true to form. Super nice to have boogie boards and beach chairs available for our use. The cottage was very clean with clear instructions on guest expectations/requests. Was impressed that the owner (Betty) had separated recycling containers on the front porch! Staying at the honeymoon cottage was perfect in every way - we hated to leave but plan to return! Thank you Betty!

                We had the pleasure of staying at the Honeymoon Cottage during our stay in the Kona area and felt sad that we had to leave our little Oasis in paradise . Betty was a great host and we felt like this was our home for the duration of our stay . We slept so peacefully in the cool mountain air and the warm mornings on the Lanai were priceless. Everything we needed was there and worked flawlessly . What a beautiful cottage to relax in ....btw , the avocado tree gave us delicous fruit while we visted . Many thanks Betty for giving us "a home" to enjoy on the Big Island . G&N

                The lodging had an abundance of kitchen wares that made cooking "stay-in" meals to sit at the table to enjoy the wonderful ocean view easy. There were also lots of amenities, i.e, beach towels, that made the visit pleasant. The privacy yet closeness to the hub of activities was also great. It was an excellent base for our exploration island as we put in 1,000 miles on our rental vehicle for the week. The washer and dryer was really nice to throw in stuff after being at the beach.

              Owner info

              Year Purchased: 2001

              About the owner: My big catch! April 2010. 669 lb marlin. It was the record for the year in Kona for exactly 1 day! The next day someone brought in a 671 pounder!

              Why the Owner Chose Holualoa:
              Until you see it in person, you can't imagine the charm and ambiance of this cottage. Guests have told me time and time again that the photos just do not do it justice. The view is undeniably one of the best I've seen. When I bought this property I was looking specifically for a honeymoon cottage and it more than met my expectations.

              The Unique Benefits at this House:
              Mainly privacy, comfort, quiet, seclusion, view. When I furnished this little cottage I tried to keep in mind the comfort and convenience of my guests. I occasionally spend a night or two there myself so I can discover any little inconveniences or missing items or things that need repair/replacement.
