My partner and I stayed here for a week and had a great time. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Super easy to get into town for dinner and exploring, and the location is great. Host was great to work with too. Would definitely stay again!
Amazing location and great hosts! The space was clean and perfect with extra accommodations for people traveling. We had access to their water toys/ beach items/ sunscreen. It was a comfortable and relaxing spot with privacy and walkability to the beaches and dining options.
Very nice experience. Host/owner was very welcoming and hospitable. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Beautiful peaceful cottage!
This cottage was perfect for my husband and I. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. I appreciated the provided beach gear and beach towels. There was also a shared laundry room that was put to good use during our stay. Our host April was communicative and responsive, and also super friendly. Check-in and check-out was very easy and instructions were clear. Highly recommend staying here!

Peaceful
So peaceful, and yet a five minute walk to the beach (and to a decent restaurant!). Great responsiveness from our host. The guest house has everything we wanted - perfect for a week in Kona.

Great Stay on the Big Island
This wonderful little house was perfect for my wife and I. Comfortable bed, great facilities, everything you need is there
I highly recommend this cottage for your next visit to Hawaii
The cottage was delightful, well appointed, comfortable and very convenient. We enjoyed our stay there and would certainly consider renting it again if our travels take us to Kona.
What a wonderful stay. House was so well stocked and comfortable. Easy to get around, peaceful at night, a perfect place to stay on the Big island
Will definitely return to both the house and the island
Loved the cottage! Well-appointed and comfortable for a couple. The location was very peaceful and a short, pleasant walk to the beach.

Fantastic getaway and lovely location
We stayed for 6 days, and it was perfect for us. It was a quick walk to a lovely location to watch experienced boarders and the sunset. And a quick drive to a perfect swimming and snorkeling beach. The cottage had all the amenities we needed to enjoy the beach. Host April was welcoming and gave us great recommendations. We truly appreciated the quiet while being close to Kona area activities. A perfect location to combine a beach and hiking vacation.
Super nice cottage only a 5 min walk away from the beach! Well equipped kitchen with everything you need. Super friendly host! Would come back anytime!
The host (April) sent a warm welcome email and everything was as advertised. Nice cottage, private and easy access to get around big island. Recommended stay.
This is a quiet detached 1 bedroom unit, with parking available in the large driveway of the main home. The area behind and to the side of the unit is green space, and the location is in a quiet neighborhood, which is great for those (like me) that wanted peace and quiet. Everything about the unit was as described, and was quite comfortable. The kitchen and appliances were well-stocked, with a small table and chairs for eating, although an outside table was also available. In short, I was quite happy.
Nice property, my Thanks to Aprils son who left the lights "on" at the main house so we could find the property in the dark! The rail delivered Mangos in the morning were very tasty! Thank You. Bery quit and peaceful place! I would stay again for sure. K eith Hammer SFC US Army ret.
Great stay, great location, and quiet neighborhood. The property has everything one needs. My only suggestion would be to put black out curtains on the east side of the bedroom, including the top windows, since the sun rises early.
Walking distance to beach and restaurant. Awesome outdoor lanai with a great grill. Easy to eat at cottage. Very pleasant setting.

Lovely cottage
Everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella. Even though it’s in a neighborhood, the cottage backs up to a bit of open space so it has a sense of privacy.
