It was very cute and clean. The location was amazing walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The hosts were also so friendly and kind.

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!

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.

10/10

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.

This location is one of a kind! The cottage is absolutely gorgeous and just a short walk down to the beach. They had many accommodations that allowed us to have an amazing honeymoon that won’t be forgotten. Thanks!

10/10

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.

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.

10/10

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.

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.

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.

Don't miss this property! Perfect for solo travelers and couples, or friends if one is willing to sleep on the comfortably firm couch. Everything you need and centrally located to reach South and North Kona destinations. Easy rinseoff and drying for gear for snorkelers.

Loved the private and quiet location! Walking distance to magic sands beach. Great tips from the host and a fully stocked cottage with beach going gear and other thoughtful details and amenities to compliment our stay and excursions! This will be at the top of our list when we return to the big island. :)

Super private and quiet. The house is surrounded by forest on 3 sides and has everything you need - and nothing you don’t. Beach and snorkeling supplies were a bonus. Solid Wi-Fi and cell service. Great neighborhood.

Good location. Quiet. Clean. Had everything we needed--even for watersports and beach time. Appreciate that it was simply decorated, not over the top beach kitsch, like so many other places. April responded quickly to the few questions we had. Great base camp for our 10 year anniversary getaway.

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.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days in February. It's a wonderful location on a quiet cul-de-sac. Magic Sands beach park was under construction so we opted for Kahalu'u beach five minutes north. Great snorkeling here with docents to guide you. The guest house was perfect for two was clean, attractively decorated with a well-equipped kitchen. The only drawback was the front room got very warm as there were no shade blinds or curtains for the living area.
