HULA COVE, Kapoho Tidepool's Waterfront Cottage From $189.00 per night*

We stayed in the cottage 3 nights in February. Although there was quite a bit of rain, we enjoyed snorkeling directly from the Lanai in the warm tide pools. The only downside of the place is probably the public access next to the cottage which brings crowds of people to the area,especially on weekends.

We loved staying at your place! Well furnished, complete kitchen, everything we needed. It was great being able to go snorkeling just off the back steps. Thanks for the big selection of snorkel gear. We arrived after dark but your directions lead us right there. Morning coffee on the lanai listening to the birds and the fish jump, watching the geckos, wonderful. The star gazing was good too. Haven't seen the Southern Cross in quite awhile. Even saw a spectacular fireball descending the second night. People watching was good too.

The Pahoa Farmers Market on Sunday is a must do, but don't eat before going, there are plenty of things to try there. Speaking of food, Kaleo's Bar & Grill and Ning's Thai Cuisine in Pahoa were both good, thanks for the recommendations. The Kilauea Volcano Park and Chain of Craters Road are worth doing. The ranger lead talk/walk in the park was informative and entertaining. The Akatsuka Orchid Gardens just outside Volcano was very interesting too. Hilo was also a fun visit, the farmers market and Two Ladies Kitchen were a hit. And of course had to try the samplings at Mehana Brewing Company. Closer to home Lava Tree State Park and the Red Road were good. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hula Cove. Thank you so much for sharing.

We loved our stay at Hula Cove! Everything we needed was readily available, the location was absolutely perfect, with snorkeling right off of the back deck.

A cozy piece of heaven with everything you need for a wonderful stay. An aquarium right outside the back door to immerse yourself in for hours. Loved it!

Most totally awesome best place ever to stay. If you want the ocean right at your feet just off the back porch, then this is it. If you seek an escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life, then this is the place. If you seek something comfortable and charming with lots of thoughtful convenience provided, then this is it. It you seek to experience the magic and wonderment of swimming in clear waters and seeing fabulous diverse fish species snorkeling the day away, then this is the place. Hula cove provided such special memories for me and can't say enough how much of a pleasure it was to stay there.
