A lovely cottage to spend our honeymoon. Only a few minutes walk from the lovely Magic Sands Beach. We were able to cook all our own food and were grateful for the pantry staples. All the provisions were more than expected. One minor issue that the top windows in the bedroom did not have a curtain so the room was light early in the morning which made it hard to sleep in. But we would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

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.

Big Island Break

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.

OK but nothing special

This is a back garden "cottage", which provides good and adequate accommodation. It is part of a purely residential area which has no immediate amenities - so there is no "holiday vibe". Magic sands beach is a 10 minute walk, but this is not for families or casual swimmers. We spent most of our time in Kailua-Kona and would have been happier staying closer to that area. The cottage itself is minimalistic with no special or endearing features, although we had no significant issues or reason to complain.

Perfect little rental

This rental was great for my husband and my honeymoon. Super short walk to the beach. Great shopping 3 miles down and the rental had everything you’d need to cook at the property. There was also supplies in the bathroom like sunscreen and shower supplies. Wonderful quiet outdoor seating area where we drank coffee. Would definitely recommend and go back if I’m ever in Hawaii on the big island.

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.

A Must-Stay For The Big Island

Absolutely amazing place. Plenty of room. Extremely comfortable. Quiet. Access to plenty of amenities and necessities such as washer/dryer, grill, outdoor patio, etc. The location is tranquil, peaceful, and perfectly situated to get to wherever you need to go. The host was very kind and communicative about any questions that I had. She also did a great job honoring our space as guests. My wife and I felt that we had our own private little bungalow in Hawaii. Highly recommend this place and will try to stay here the next time we come back to the island.

Everything perfect

Perfect stay. Property was excellent, very quiet, clean and everything we needed. Owners were so kind and provided everything we needed and were helpful with tons of info about the area. Loved the location. It was close to everything around Kona yet far enough from Kona proper to be quiet. Magic Sands was a ton of fun and provided perfect sunset views. Walking distance to a couple of great snorkeling locations.

Cute, private guesthouse

Would recommend arriving during the day as rental was hard to locate in the dark with no lights and awkward driveway parking. Rental was clean and quiet with private BBQ and outdoor table/chairs. Had an awkward hole for an oven but was replaced by a steel table and an electric cooktop. Easy access to Kona town, nice quiet, safe neighborhood. Has a nice view of wilderness. Would stay again.
