Clean, quiet, serene. Mary was gracious and accommodating, allowing us an earlier than normal check in after a long day.The pheasants were fun, the yard and gardens beautifully kept. A great out of the way location but still close enough to town.
We loved everything about our stay and canât wait to go back. This cottage in the rainforest is absolutely perfect. The property is beautiful and Mary is so helpful. If you want to truly feel like you are on vacation on the Big Island this is the place to stay.
We absolutely loved this amazing property! I cannot say enough about how beautiful the outdoor spaces you get to enjoy during your stay are. The owners have put so much hard work into making this a tropical rainforest oasis and it shows. The home was immaculate and had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The pheasants coming by in the morning for treats the owners left us was the highlight of our mornings! We would love to come back soon and stay longer next time! Our two days here were amazing. Mary was such a joy to correspond with and we appreciate her so much!
Lovely little hideaway with pheasants who visit each morning. Having coffee on the porch was a highlight of the trip along with being lulled to sleep by the jungle noises each night. Make sure to bring cozy clothes because it gets a little chilly at night but we will be sure to return!
It was almost too good to be true! It was absolutely beautiful with the landscaping, privacy, and wildlife. Mary is wonderful! Can't recommend this place high enough. Memories for a lifetimes!
The house was beautiful and so peaceful, and the grounds were gorgeous. I loved listening to the frogs singing every night. The hosts were so thoughtful and checked in on us frequently. They also stocked the house with every imaginable amenity. They made a magical trip even more fabulous!amenitya.magical trip even impressed, and
Great location if you're not the resort type, which we aren't. Up the hill from Kona but easily accessible with a car, short 10 minute drive away. Frogs, pheasants, and other birds abound on the property. Fast and easy communication with the host. Has all the amenities of home. Would definitely stay again.
It was a cute little cabin and had most everything we needed. Thereâs even beach gear, including an umbrella. The only thing I wished it had was a regular mid size frying pan, but there was one with very low sides for pancakes. Other than that it was a great place to stay and the scenery was beautiful. Also, the host is easy to contact and very helpful.
Beautiful little cottage away from the busyness of the resorts. The property is like being in your own private oasis. You can get to anywhere you want to go from there and when you return you have your own private space. We are hoping we have the opportunity to return one day.
This is a super nice cottage 15 min from the bustle of Kona. The gardens are beautiful (but do beware of mosquitoes at night). The house is well supplied, even with beach chairs and snorkeling gear. The sun sets are gorgeous. We wish we could have stayed longer!!!!
This place is absolutely beautiful tucked up in the rainforest. You have a beautiful view the all the plants and friendly animals. The frogs will sing you a song each night and it's just a 15 minute drive to the ocean.
Loved this little piece of paradise! The pictures do not do it justice. The frog sounds at night, the pheasants visiting the backyard, the amazing porch and yard area. We loved it all! Thank you! Perfect location and hope to come back!
The cottage was beautiful!! It had absolutely everything one could need! The grounds were spectacular!! It is about 15 min or so out of town.. up in the hills.. perfect! We highly recommend staying here! Thank you to our hosts!!
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.
Nice cottage with grounds very well maintained, all enclosed in a tropical foliage setting. Very pretty cabin well built but lacks comfort; for one, it seems does not encourage cooking. All cooking hardware from burners to toaster etc. all underneath the sink cabinets. Microwave on top of refrigerator needing effort to reach. (Needless to say, we did little cooking. Future guests should know you will be living of your luggage; no cabinets and small closet space in bedroom. That said, beautiful area; the drive, and especially the peaceful solitude of the area. As we enjoyed the whole island of Hawaii for 7 days visiting volcanos, hiking and just spending everyday at the beach was wonderful. Then to come to a nice place to unwind listening to all the night creatures from crickets to the coqui frog while constant rain, was delightful; then in the morning to be awaken by all kinds of fauna from domesticated pheasants to hens and roosters and an occasional wild pig, was entertaining.All in all a nice and value place to stay and depending on your needs and what you are looking for, a very nice place, but if you are into cooking, very limited supplies.Owners were very attentive and welcoming.
This is the most delightful VRBO I have ever stayed in. I absolutely adore it and never want to leave. It is absolutely serene. I was a little nervous about finding the location after leaving a workshop that I knew I would need some processing time to myself for before returning to my regular life, but I have the place I want my regular life to me. But she gave me a good reminder about finding it, and the entry into the space was easy and welcoming.The host is responsive and gave some extra information about the wild pheasants which I also adore now. :)Mahalo 3
I would have given this place a five-star rating, but having only one set of bath lines per person for two nights isn't a 5-star place. It's one thing to reuse a towel for two showers but not have to reuse the washcloth!
