Vintage Beach Cottage is an immaculate and well-maintained one-bedroom cottage just steps away from the shore in the enchanting neighborhood of Puako. Just cross the quiet road to watch turtles resting on the warm sand and dolphins and whales frolicking offshore, followed by vibrant beach sunsets each evening. Ideal for a couple or single looking for total relaxation, the cottage is delightfully decorated in vintage-look Hawaiian fabrics, Hawaiian art, shells and surfboards. A brief stroll away, the Puako General Store offers charming local hospitality. Meet the owners or talk story with neighbors while enjoying a cool beverage, a refreshing ice cream bar, or selecting a movie to watch after the sun goes down.

This cozy one bedroom/one bathroom home rests on grounds that are well-maintained, private and peaceful. The lush green lawn is fenced for undisturbed enjoyment of a hammock to nap or lounge with your favorite book. Shower off after the beach in a wonderful garden shower surrounded by the lovely scents of stephanotis and jasmine. Begin your mornings with a cup of coffee in the covered-lanai garden with ocean view. Dine indoors or out, at the shell-inlaid table in the dining nook or under the stars on the lanai. Drift off to a restful sleep with ocean breezes and the soft scent of pakalana flowing through the French doors of the master bedroom.

The living area, with adjacent kitchen and dining nook, is decorated with vintage rattan and custom-made furnishings, Hawaiian fabrics, Hawaiian art and resource library. Details throughout include koa wood cabinetry, vintage wood floors, custom wood paneling, live orchids and houseplants. The kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel appliances, gourmet cookware, spices, tea and coffee and an assortment of picnic/beach gear.
This cottage boasts a comfortable, colorful bedroom with covered lanai (patio), king-size bed and the added advantage of air conditioning. A full bath with tub/shower combination is easily accessible midway between the bedroom and kitchen. The laundry room is conveniently located near the kitchen.

    • We spent 4 wonderful days/nights here in early May. It went way too fast. The property is located in a very quiet and peaceful area. The only sounds that I remember hearing were ocean waves and singing birds. The owners do an excellent job of maintaining the cottage. It was extremely clean and had everything that we ever needed. Make sure you try the outdoor shower when you come. I don't see how it can get any better. We will certainly recommend this property to everyone we know.

    • We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Vintage Beach Cottage. The location is ideal for ocean access, getting groceries at the General Store, and great turtle and whale watching. Owners Cynthia and John are thoughtful and considerate hosts who have put their hearts into making this lovely cottage a special place for guests to enjoy. Every necessity and many extras are provided, making it easy to relax and feel pampered. The outdoor shower is a real treat! The craftsmanship and careful attention to detail truly set this place apart, as did the hospitality of the owners. Service from agent Mary Fox was also first rate. Thanks! Cindy and Tren

    • Vintage Cottage is the perfect place to relax. A weekend in the peaceful, private setting wiped away months of stress. I felt like a new person after relaxing in the sun or reading in the hammock in the perfect breeze. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Next time, I will have to spend a whole week there and make use of the beautiful kitchen.

    •   What a joy it was to step into the Vintage Beach Cottage and be surrounded by the aloha spirit. This house is in a special location and offers the tranquillity, space, and surroundings that many of us seek as we venture on to the very special big island of Hawaii. The owners of the house, Cynthia and John, have created a home that is welcoming and accommodating. Not a detail was spared (helpful resource guides, flowers, comfortable pillows, utilitarian kitchen equipment, and outdoor lounging and bar-b-que equipment, to name a few)which can accommodate even the most pampered traveler. I  would  recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet retreat. Kudos to Cynthia and John for sharing their paradise with us. Drs. Barbara & Robert Sayad

    • Loved this cottage and the area. We had one of the best vacations ever in this spot. Kitchen was excellent, bed comfortable, and all the extras a bonus. The local hiking, snorkeling, and kayaking (with whales!) was incredible. Thank you, John & Cynthia, we look forward to returning.

    • We had a wonderful and enchanting stay at this immaculate and beautifully crafted cottage across the street from the beach. The kitchen is better equiped than our own. And we appreciated all the attention to detail that makes this a perfect hideaway on the Big Island.

      Thanks Amy, We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Mary
