This is a great place to stay with you and one significant other. Beautiful sights and sounds, while still being close enough to town to go in if you want. Great launching point for adventures.

Cool cottage in the Clouds
We enjoyed our stay and proximity to all the great Kona beaches. The visiting pheasants were a lot of fun. The higher elevation made it great for sleeping at night.

Loved our stay in the adorable tropical cottage
My partner and I absolutely loved staying in the tropical cottage- it was so beautiful both inside and out, and had everything we needed. We loved the visits from the pheasants every morning and falling asleep to the coqui frogs every night. The landscaping is just gorgeous, and the decorations in the cottage are lovely. The perfect place for a little romantic retreat.

Doesn't get much better
Loved the cottage. Great location that isn't far from Kona sights but feels like it's in a different world. Quiet nights with nothing but the sounds of the jungle. One of the things we appreciated most was the gloriously cool nights. The jungle temps were often 10 degrees cooler than down by the coast making sleeping amazingly comfortable.

Nice location for a short stay
This vacation was my first without children in 3 decades and we were really looking forward to a week back home. We started in Hilo and this was my first experience choosing through VRBO. That experience went perfectly...5 stars. I chose this location for Kona side mainly based on privacy. The neighborhood was very quiet, the gardens were beautiful, and the pheasants were a pleasant surprise. What wasn't expected was the printout front/back of rules, plus the messages of additional rules! Hawaiians tend to live Aloha so it just seemed unpleasant to have to squeegie the shower or face additional cleaning fees. We wanted to sit outside at night but because there's standing water we were eaten alive by mosquitos even with the citronella candle. And, the mosquito zappers didn't work. She didn't tell us when we booked that the gardeners would be coming as early as 8am on Monday during our stay. If she told us early on we could have cancelled since we work night shift. The internet worked a few minutes out of each day and Mary did reboot the modem...finally she told us we could use her internet to check in for our flights but we asked someone back home to do it for us. Overall, I would give the experience 4 stars but I think we would choose another location the next time we are Kona side.

This was a gorgeous little cottage tucked into a very private/rainforest feeling area. The space had everything needed—beach towels, beach chairs, coffee maker—just really set up to host well

Very comfortable cottage
The cottage is very comfortable and private. You are surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers. The stars on a clear night are bright. The host was fantastic and you’re only 15 minutes from downtown Kona. This is a fun place to stay while you enjoy the rest of what the big island has to offer.

Great Stay!
Great stay, lovely location! It is a little bit outside of the centre up the hill so you are likely to get rain if there is any! Only complaint was that some gardening needed to be done at 8am one of the days which was very loud and disruptive, the internet was extremely slow and patchy and the rules listed are quite strict, especially regarding charges for losing items such as towels or kets and excess dirtiness. This wasn't an issue for us fortunately.

Rainforest cottage
This was a romantic getaway cottage. The night sounds were enchanting. The host thought of every detail! They even have coffee stocked. Visiting with the pheasants was joyful. Be sure to check out the cloud forest sanctuary up the road ( reservations are a must. Also, the coffee plantation a little further. Free tours on the half hour, very educational. Unfortunately, the wifi was out, and my Hotspot reception was in and out, but really, we were one vacation. Mahalo!

Beautiful, uniquely designed cabin amid lush rainforest plantings. We especially enjoyed the deck to hang out on ( even in frequent showers). And neighborhood pheasants were a particular pleasure! Quiet and peaceful base for Kona explorations.

Beautiful tropical vibe
From the moment we arrived at the cottage, we knew we were going to love it. It is very secluded and private - surrounded by lush, tropical plants. It is a much different vibe than the resorts in Kona town or Waikoloa Village. We were greeted by the resident native pheasants, got settled, and basked in the ambient sounds from the deck and porch. It was raining and perfect. Kitchen and bath were well stocked. The hosts provided clear communication, but otherwise gave us outstanding privacy. The cottage is the opposite of "beach vibe" and so complementary perfect after all day at the beach and in the water. Although it feels secluded, the cottage is very convenient to shopping, airport, and Kona town. The cottage will be on the top of the list for future visits to Kona.
