Cute, remote cottage

The cottage was cute, although away from most attractions. We chose to stay here based on the listing being across the street from a beautiful black sand beach. However, no where is it mentioned that the beach is clothing optional. As I was traveling with my teenage daughter, this detail made the beach unusable for us. The only other beaches were an hour drive. The warm ponds were cool and pretty close, but if you visit be sure to go at high tide. The cottage was cute but it bears to mention that the interior pictures don’t really match the actual interior. The furniture has been changed. There was a microwave, toaster and shared laundry. The bed was comfortable, but the living room furniture was well used and not super comfortable. If you stay here with family I would just expect to drive at least an hour to any attraction, whether it be a beach day or the National park. The hosts were helpful while giving us plenty of space. I just feel like the beach was really highlighted as a selling point while not providing the transparency of it being clothing optional.

Quaint little cottage

We enjoyed the little cottage and it was everything we expected. The reason for my lower review is due to the fact that the beach across the street is "clothing optional" which means some folks choose to go in the nude. The beach is not large and the cottage is in a remote location. So with the beach not available the cottage did not retain its value for us. We left 2 days early and found a different place. So, if you want a family friendly beach wear people wear their clothes, this probably is not for you. If that doesnt bother you, then this place is excellent. The beach is not large and

Place is really beautiful...

This is a beautiful place and quite clean. They also have a cache of masks, snorkel, chairs and other beach items which is helpful. We used this cottage as base camp to visit Volcanoes NP. It is a good option if you have a rental car. They don't call it the "Big Island" for nothing. There is a lot of windshield time when traveling the area. My only constructive criticism of this property, as well as almost all other VRBOs, is to reduce the unnecessary furniture, bookshelves, and tchotchkes that are used to make it feel "homie". The owners are really responsive and getting in and out was simple. Very, very cool place.

Great remote cottage

The cottage was adorable, and even nicer than the photos. Clean, comfortable, and GPS takes you right there. I knew it was remote, but it’s about 20 mins to the nearest town, and even that’s not really big. There are 4 or 5 places to grab a bite to eat (not counting chains) in town, and there’s a small market and restaurant at the end of the road about 2-3 miles from the cabin. The beach across the street is a bit of an adventure to find access to, and there’s a steep path to get there. But it’s doable. If you’re looking for a private getaway, definitely consider this one!

Great location and very comfortable.

This cottage had an awesome open living room, a comfortable couch, and good airflow. The bedroom is nice and my friend said the bed was really comfortable as well. The kitchen situation is peculiar for sure, but manageable. It’s outside in a small shed and only has a small two burner hot plate thing, but there is also a large propane grill. So if you plan on cooking a big meal it’s advisable to cook before the sun goes down (shed is dark as we discovered) or use the gas grill. Honestly though it felt like camping and was fun to cook this way. Overall, the host was great, location was beautiful, and I the cottage was lovely. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks!

Great location!

This is an older house, as listed, and across from the beach, also as listed. But you can still hear the ocean, and the the kitchenette is perfect. I loved being across the street from the beach and just down the street from the warm ponds. I did have issues with the internet, but the owners were responsive and stated that issue is being worked on. I highly recommend this place.

Perfect place to relax and recharge

Our entire stay was perfect. The property and cottages are picture perfect - everything you would expect Hawaii to be. Our cottage was clean and comfortable and worked perfectly for us (Myself, my grown daughter and her boyfriend). This is where you go to disconnect from the world and just enjoy breathing.... living.....we truly did not want to leave. Proximity to Kehena Black Sand Beach was awesome - we were there all but one day of our stay. Pahoa Village was close enough to be convenient for food/necessities. Andre and Susan were very welcoming - it was like going to visit family. And every guest amongst the three cottages on the property during our stay were friendly as well. I'm hoping to return to this property again soon!
