Cottage with Amazing View, Minutes to Dolphin Swimming, Very Private, Affordable

Great view and wonderful place to stay. It was very quiet and relaxing

We loved this property. The views are stunning from the deck and we spent hours just looking around on lazy mornings, drinking coffee, and seeing what animals we could spot in the treetops. The bed was comfortable and the outdoor kitchen and shower provided a sweet rustic feel (though a bit treacherous at night with the bugs). My favorite part was seeing all the little geckos hidden throughout the house. Highly recommended stay if you want to enjoy the wild beauty of Hawaii and have a relaxing retreat away from the tourists.

Hi - was trying to avoid a review - because didn't want to share this part of paradise with anyone else !!!!! - big thanks to Gus!! - very helpful and knowledgeable . the location is perfect close to captain cook and not far from Kona - where all the shops etc you will need . the views from the rental where amazing . Place is impeccably clean - everything you need - PARADISE!!!!

We stayed from May 9-13th. Right away when we arrived we knew we had made a great choice. Everything was just as in the photos, very clean and very comfortable. We're usually really active on our vacations and spend most of our time exploring, but this place actually made us decide to take one full day just to stay put, relax and enjoy the scenery. Like the other reviews mention, Gus was really quick to get back to us with all of our questions or requests. The place feels very private. The surroundings are planted with so many attractive flowering bushes, trees and plants I couldn't stop taking photos! We really liked getting groceries for dinner at the nearby ChoiceMART. Plenty of tasty options for BBQing while watching the sunset. I should mention its important to be comfortable with nature when staying here. While we didn't ever see any startling insects inside our bedroom, you might see a few outside. The geckos everywhere were delightful and I wish I could have taken them home with me! When we come back to the Big Island we will definitely like to return here. Thank you Michael and Gus for setting up such a fun place and sharing it with us!

We had a great visit to this beautiful spot in South Kona. Gus was incredibly helpful in steering us to local spots to snorkel and kayak. Serene site up the hill - great place to grill for dinner and watch the sunset. Appreciated the snorkel equipment waiting for us.
