The Cottage: Oceanfront Honeymoon Retreat w/Gorgeous Views, By Kahalu'u Beaches
Perched directly above the lava-rock shoreline along Ali‘i Drive, The Cottage is a classic oceanfront retreat where coastal breezes, island color, and unobstructed sunsets shape each day. This one-bedroom home blends nostalgic Kona charm with thoughtful modern updates, creating a peaceful landing spot for couples, small families, and travelers seeking a true sense of place on the Big Island.
What You’ll Love About The Cottage
• True oceanfront living with panoramic views and vibrant nightly sunsets
• Oversized lanai with dining, lounging, and shade structures for all-day enjoyment
• Recently refreshed kitchen and bath with granite counters and warm wood cabinetry
• California King primary suite with ocean views and direct lanai access
• Walkable to Kahaluʻu Beach State Park for snorkeling and sea turtles
Living & Dining
The moment you enter, island-inspired artwork, vaulted ceilings, and custom shelving set a welcoming tone. Large windows frame the Pacific just beyond, giving the living room a naturally bright and breezy feel. Settle into the comfortable seating, enjoy your favorite show on the smart TV, or open the doors to let the sound of the surf become the soundtrack of your stay.
Indoor dining flows easily to the lanai, where alfresco meals unfold against wave-splashed rocks and endless horizon views.
Chef-Ready Kitchen
Fully remodeled with granite countertops, warm wood cabinetry, and full-size appliances, the kitchen offers everything you need for effortless vacation cooking. Brew fresh Kona coffee, prepare island-style breakfasts, or plate a sunset dinner to enjoy outdoors. With ample storage, cookware, and small appliances, the space is as functional as it is inviting.
Outdoor Oasis
The oversized lanai is where The Cottage truly shines. Multiple seating zones invite you to dine, lounge, or unwind in shaded comfort while waves crash just below. Watch dolphins and seasonal whales offshore, sunbathe beside the ocean, or simply settle in for a nightly show as the sky melts into vibrant hues. A private yard adds additional space to relax, surrounded by tropical plantings.
