Great view and a rural experience
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. several little lizards came to our outdoor breakfast table, and we loved feeding them. One of us did get eaten up by either mosquitoes or no-see-ums, despite applying bug spray liberally. We also had to get used to the very loud nocturnal coqui frogs—bring ear plugs.

Not as what we expected based on the reviews. Our stay was 9/13/24–9/20/24
Our stay at this cottage was just okay. The pictures are true to the place. It was remote and off the grid as what we wanted, however they didn’t disclose a few things like: you can’t run a blow dryer or use a hair straightener due to their solar power. I wish that would have been disclosed and not read it on a stickey note in the bathroom. The bed was just okay, not very comfortable and cheap bedding.There is a an Ant problem. So don’t leave any open food out on the counters. Also one morning we got up and the box of kleenix by the bed was full of ants. I had no food or drink on the stand at all during our stay.to attrack the ants there. Also when we went to make dinner the night we arrived, we ended up washing dishes that were in the cupboard dirty! Before We even ate. Gross! There was no large garbage can for garbage at all.They advertised a coffee pot but ther wasn’t a coffee pot just a French press and no toaster! You had to toast your bread over the gas stove. .this was our first experience in a Vrbo rental and it was just okay. I realize it is remote as we live in the country ourselves but the ant issue wasn’t pleasant. The toilet does run like an RV ( camper toilet) which doesn’t bother us as we have an RV but there’s didn’t flush good at all! We rented this cottage based on the reviews we read and they were all excellent but I would not give them an excellent review based on what we experienced. I was disappointed after having read how good the reviews were!

A very relaxing stay
I had a wonderful time at the dome cottage! Staying an hour south of Kona let me feel like I was being immersed in Hawaii, while also being a great location to make trips to Volcano or Kona. I enjoyed cooking dinner while watching the sunset on the ocean, and listening to the sounds of birds and frogs outside my windows. Truly a peaceful stay!

Paradise!
Effortless process from start to finish. Dennis, Jan, and Bernie (world's greatest good boy) made our first trip to Hawaii magical! Cottage is beautifully kept, well appointed, has everything you need. We enjoyed that the location was well away from busier areas. We loved getting in the car for a day of fun exploration and then returning to our quiet home for the night. The beds are SO comfy, too. The sunsets from the porch deck are simply gorgeous- a must see. We simply had the most wonderful time. Mahalo, Dennis, Jan, and Bernie!

Excellent property
We were totally amazed at the surroundings of this property. A mini farm with lots of fruit trees - and a perfect "getaway" for privacy, solitude and tropical splendor. The extra added attraction was the eruption of Mauna Loa on the day before we arrived! How exciting! I would definitely recommend this home for a peaceful, private vacation - but be prepared for a little distance from any major shopping areas. It was perfect for our needs - but for those who want to be "where the action is", you will be in for a surprise. Still, well worth the peaceful surroundings that we were hoping for.

Wonderful stay!
This was a great place to stay. It was peaceful, clean, and had an ocean view! It was as advertised and wonderful to have morning coffee on the deck looking at the ocean. Space works very well for two people. Easy to contact Dennis and we also loved eating the shared fresh fruit and tomatoes grown there! We liked making toast the old fashioned way on stove top! All the nature sounds at night made us feel more connected to natural Hawaii. There are extras provided like coolers and beach items. Recommend this place for a unique and pleasant stay.

The property was beyond fantastic! I was looking for a few days of peace and tranquility, away from the concrete jungle of Oahu, and I found my new little slice of heaven. The cottage is wonderful, the neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful I didn't want to leave. Wonderful little place I can't recommend high enough. I will be going back.

Just perfect place: had amenities I was looking for without going overboard. Cute place, very clean and the Sunsets were as expected: all great views. All kinds of birds singing and enjoying the area. Saw even a pair of Pheasants !!! Nights music was the best to let us know we were in the tropics. Our lullaby music were the happy Coqui's. Just what the doctor ordered. Loved our stayed.

Great place to unwind!
Love this cottage and property - slightly rustic with its solar power and composting toilet, but very comfortable with strong internet service for working remotely over VPN. Beautiful and peaceful, it's a bit of a drive to groceries, beaches, restaurants, and other sights, but much nicer for someone who wants privacy and a non-resort experience. Eat breakfast with geckos on the deck, go to sleep to chirping birds and frogs, and enjoy fresh fruit grown by the hosts. Will definitely be back if we can!

Amazing Stay on the Big Island
Great little cottage to get away from the busyness of more traveled areas in Hawaii. A bit of a drive from Kona but had everything you’d need to live comfortably for a while. Views were simply unmatched and he surrounding area was beautiful and full of lush greenery as well. Local coffee plantations serve local brews which was a real treat. Would recommend bringing/using bug spray since there were quite a few mosquitoes. But overall a very excellent place to stay! Mahalo.

Work and play stay.
Overall things were very good at the property. It was quiet and quite comfortable. We both had to do some distanced work, and were originally worried about connectivity, but there were absolutely no problems with it. The owner also suggested a nearby, little used beach that ended up being better than the bigger public ones we visited, especially when about 2 dozen dolphins came and hung out! The refridgerator is tiny, and since the property is a bit of way from stores that made shopping for an extended stay more of a challenge. Also, some of the reference materials on-site (especially about hiking) are very outdated. But overall, I'd definitely recommend this property over a hotel!
