We had a fabulous time here in this beautifully restored surf cottage. Great location, David and Kim were great! Kitchen stocked with everything you may need, plenty of towels. Loved the outdoor shower! Plenty of space to hang out front and back. Great sunset just across the street. We will definitely return!

Great place and host
Loved the graceful cottage and gardens. Being one block from the ocean was a fabulous location. David is a wealth of information about the history of the area and the natural world of Hawaii. The cottage has everything we needed in the kitchen and the bed was quite comfortable. We’d go back in a second.

Heavenly
It was a beautiful place to enjoy not only the natural herbs but also the flowers. When you step onto the front porch the plumerias and other scents were heavenly. The short walk to a very quiet beach provided some quiet time for us and some beautiful sunsets. The cottage is well equipped with every convenience. Loved the outdoor shower! Davis was the most considerate host, he gave us a tour of the house and the garden when we arrived and later brought us honey for Christmas. I highly recommend this little slice of heaven in Puako.

Beautiful, peaceful, comfortable!
My family loved our stay here! David was a great host and exceeded our expectations, we loved seeing and hearing about all the beautiful plants in the yard and enjoyed trying some with our meals. Having laundry was a huge bonus, plenty of towels, beach toys, chairs, etc. The beds were comfortable with the ocean breeze blowing in the windows at night. The location is beautiful, lots of dreamy homes, turtles resting and snorkeling nearby, we even saw a whale! The ocean is right across the street, with shoreline access posted along the road. It is far enough away from the resort areas you feel secluded, but close enough to drive and get groceries and meals. We enjoyed driving around the island, exploring beaches and the National Parks, shopping, it was wonderful having a quiet place to come to in the evening with the most beautiful stars right from the front porch! We look forward to visiting again!

An oasis
Coffee on the lanai each morning listening to the chorus of birds welcoming the sunrise. Watching the brilliant sunsets each evening from the beach a 3 minute walk away. Short drives or walks to great beaches. David and Kim we thoroughly enjoyed our long stay in your comfy cottage. We hope to again and we recommend it to others seeking a peacefull holiday on the Big Island.

Throw back to special time
Very well equipped special beach cottage. The beach is a close walk, awash with stars after a sunset full of color. The gardenias were starting to pop so they wafted thru the kitchen window. The hosts were a delight and very welcoming
