Luxury, AC, Adjacent to Acres of State Oceanfront Land

Cottage at the Ocean is a hub for the numerous activities offered in this area of Big Island, Hawaii. We are situated adjacent to over 500 acres of State owned Oceanfront bluffs for hiking and meditation.

This is truly a magical area! Many of my guests leave feeling refreshed and renewed. The air quality here is some of the best in the United States.

To hear the ocean all night long, to watch the humpback whales right off the coastline all winter long is epic!

Cottage at the Ocean is a luxuriously appointed 1 bedroom 1 bath 450 sq ft sanctuary space, living room, and a private lanai for your outdoor relaxation. Surrounded by gardens and lush foliage, our area is quiet and peaceful.

Cottage at the Ocean is located in a separate cottage next door to Bali Temple, VRBO #285160 and Ocean Temple, VRBO#1247897, both fully contained units with their own entrance and amenities. There is a laundry room off of Bali Temple with its own entrance that all guests have access to. Contact me to learn about special rates when renting more than one of these properties at the same time.

All units are ideal for 2 people. Guests come to retreat from the hustle and bustle of their worlds, to deeply relax, recharge, and renew themselves amidst the beautiful natural setting that surrounds us. All guests are asked to maintain this sanctuary environment when on the property.

Explore our surroundings and walk to the "end of the road", Kaimu corner for tasty breakfast and lunch options at Uncle's Foods, and our local organic smoothies and sandwich shops. There is also a convenience store open 7 days a week, from 8am to 7pm, to cover most of your basic needs ~ chips, eggs, milk, spirits, juices, etc.

On Saturday mornings, there is a wonderful Farmer's market for all kinds of delicious locally made foods, beverages, and gifts. Most Saturdays the kites are flying and local musicians play.

Pahoa is just 10 minutes away with all kinds of dining options and shopping.

Meander down the scenic coastal roadway of Kalapana Kapoho Road to Kehena Black Sand Beach, McKenzie State Park, Pohoiki State Park where you can immerse yourself in the geothermally heated hot ponds, and walk the beautiful black sand beach!

Come to relax and rejuvenate!

This was a beautiful beach cottage. Very quiet and private area. I think the directions given by the owners is very confusing when your coming in at night and you are not a local. The GPS cordidantes from the owner are not true to where the property is. There are not any street lights to help you either. The private drive into the neighborhood is a dirt road that looks like someone's private drive way. We found hairs around the house and in the shower. The induction stovetop that was provided- did not work (also doesn't actually fit anywhere to cook with it) We were highly inconvenienced to drive to the nearest walmart 45 minutes away early in the morning to feed our child. There is nothing close to this property as far as food and groceries go. The property itself is abundant with wildlife, Lava and the beach but there isn't a good swim beach near this location. It was a nice put together property. They provided 2 shower towels when we had 3 guests. I would recommend to check appliances before new guests arrive. I bought a cooking appliance and obviously couldn't take it back on my travels. I wouldn't stay here again just due to how far everything is from this location and being inconvenienced. But if you're looking to stay at the cottage and not go to the beach much or exploring- this is your place. The nearest town Hilo- is dirty and the water is not in good condition

Sweetest Cottage by the Sea
Dear Sweetest Cottage by the Sea, You were exactly what I needed. Prior to my stay, I was feeling overworked and burnt out on life. I was really hoping for a healing space that was not only lovely and peaceful, but also had the comforts of home. You were all that and more. I felt safe, at peace, and the loving mana (energy) of your sweet space. I was able to catch up on some much needed rest. I also found solace and renewed perspective on my daily walks on the lava fields along the ocean in your backyard. I also loved exploring the area that runs along the coast that you sit upon. I felt rejuvenated and ready to tackle the world upon leaving. I am so grateful that you were my oasis for a week. Mahalo for your tranquil, nurturing embrace. I will be back.

Lovely space on the lava
This is a lovely place to stay! Nice layout, well put together, and just a really lovely and calming space. There is another house on the property but it's pretty private - just don't walk into the living room/kitchen naked (or close the curtains before you do!) Not-so-connected to the rest of the island since many of the connecting roads were blocked by lava in previous years' eruptions. This is a bug or a feature depending on what you're looking for. We very much enjoyed exploring the lava and the Red Road, and venturing up to Hilo and Volcano for further adventures. The frogs are loud at night but I found it soothing. My partner needed earplugs and was fine. There was also a wind storm and afterwards the frog chorus diminished A LOT. I felt bad for the possibly-squished frogs, but clearly the sound level can vary quite a bit. The place was a little hard to find at night, I'd been following instructions on the app and they were thorough but telephone poles were hard to see in the dark. However I later realized Rachaelle had also attached GPS coordinates to a message so that's totally my fault. The combination of the two should be more than enough to find your way there. Also go get an acai bowl at the smoothie shack 10 minutes walk down the road, they're so good!

Great spot for two
This is the cutest little cottage literally steps away from lava. It was a nice get away from Oahu all the hustle and bustle. We were able to drive to a black sand beach green sand beach and see the lava flowing at night in the National park. We loved the location and the spot.

Nice unit in a peaceful area off the beaten path. Basic kitchen setup but enough for simple meals. Only thing not clear on the listing is that there is a larger rental unit that boxes the unit in.

Word of caution!! Follow the directions to the location you get from email. They are written explicitly for a reason ( I didn’t and used gps and ended up in wrong area) This is a place of Zen, has Wi-Fi but does not have TV. Sunrise is so beautiful!

The place was very clean, beautifully decorated, and looked exactly like the pictures. It was a little difficult to find but the host was very responsive and helped us with that. She put a lot of work into her booklet with recommendations. The property is right on the beach with lava field and is gorgeous. Would definitely come again.

Amazing location in the tropical forest
It was a great experience to stay in this cute zen cottage and hear all the sounds of nature- at night the frogs, in the morning the birds- and to walk to the extensive lava bed to watch the sunrise and the sunset with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. An experience hard to replicate. The only remarks are the sofa bed in the living room- it would be nice if it was more comfortable- and the kitchen doesn’t have a stove top… otherwise great rental.

Fun Place to Stay!
We stayed here for a couple nights in May. There's an incredible lava field out back behind the property, so if scrambling over a recent lava flow sounds like fun to you, this is a great place to stay. The lava ends in a short cliff overlooking the ocean, so it's not possible (or at least, not safe) to get in the water from here, but there is a beach a couple miles down the coast. The bedroom has a portable A/C unit, which was a nice touch and definitely helped us sleep at night. Living area is small, but the patio is also a good place for hanging out. The unit is a small cottage on the property of a larger house, so if the larger house is occupied, you'll have pretty close neighbors. That didn't bother us, though. For us, staying on the lava field was really fun and one of the highlights of our trip to the Big Island.

Quel bel endroit!
Nous avons adoré notre séjour! L’endroit est réellement super (tout est là) et l’océan est à moins d’une minute de marche dans la cour arrière avec une vue imprenable. Le lever du soleil sur le champs de lave et l’océan resteront dans nos mémoires.
