Ohia Cottage: Your Coastal Retreat near Napoopoo Beach
Ohia Cottage is a well-appointed guest house on a secluded private farm in the heart of Kona s coffee belt.
How amazing would it be to wake up and smell the coffee in Hawaii?! Our cottage is a perfect setting to host honeymooners celebrating their love or simply hosting a family of 3 that would love a secluded getaway in the tropics! The cottage is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath that comfortably sleeps a total of 3 guests. It is furnished with a Queen bed in the master bedroom and a small double bed in the guest bedroom. My favorite feature is our wrap-around lanai with distant ocean and garden views.
Located near South Kona s best beaches, Honaunau and the National Park to your left and Kee i Beach, Manini Beach, and Kealakekua Bay to your right. Choose your direction and in 10 minutes enjoy cultural activities, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and sun. A complimentary gift of local farm produce and coffee will be included in your stay and special fresh farm eggs will surprise from our hens on your doorstep at times. 3 people max! may be able to sleep a toddler if sleeping in a pack-n-play or on the bed with parents in the master bedroom.
Some things you should know prior to staying in Hawaii: The Big Island is not to be missed, so to help make your Hawaiian dreams a reality, we have assembled all the things you may need to know about staying here in Hawaii! Curious about places to visit or things to do? Ask us about our recommendations list! . The Big Island of Hawaii seems determined to break the norm; the stereotype of the average tropical island, that is. Here you ll find the ongoing battle between green forests, black lava fields, the ocean, the rain, and sunny days almost incomprehensible; the diversity is simply stunning. With that being said from time to time insects can be present outdoors and sometimes make their way indoors due to our tropical climate here in Hawaii. We share this information with you folks because we understand insects can be something to be fearful about or can be somewhat of a nuisance to some individuals. We would like to rest assured that we do schedule pest control services in our very tight schedule do the maximum recommended to not harm people in the house/Condo which is once a month), but it s one of the few cons of tropical weather. Please know we go above and beyond for all of our guests and make sure to provide standard maintenance for extra comfort and an enjoyable time when staying with us here in Hawaii.

This is a classy and quiet rural cottage within short driving distance of multiple great snorkel spots. The private wraparound lanai surrounded by luscious greenery and a distant ocean view really makes it special. We appreciated the cleanliness, the decor and appliances, the very effective ceiling fans, the beach towels and chairs for guest use, and, not least, the most excellent local Nahenahe Estate coffee beans left as a welcome gift. We'll definitely be back.
Great location near several snorkeling spots, private and quiet (except for the geckos and frogs!). Bed was super comfortable! We really enjoyed the fresh fruit growing in the yard; grapefruit, lemons, starfruit... delicious!

Incredible and romantic home base to explore the Kona coast
Well maintained, clean, and high end for the price. We would stay here again and again. 5/5 no notes. Give Kiko some love when you see him.

December stay
My wife and I spent 7 days on the big island. The cottage was just the right size for comfort. The kitchen is well equipped and plenty of options for coffee brewing as well.
The house is really nice, and private. It's very clean and comfortable. The sounds of the frogs and others is very loud at night so bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noises at night.
We loved Ohia Cottage! The area was quiet and private, but it was an easy drive to great food, coffee, smoothies and the beach. The view of the ocean from the deck was even better than we expected. We will definitely stay again! Thank you!
A beautiful kitchen. There were no sharp knives, so we told the property manager. She had them sharpened for us, so be careful. They were sharp and lovely. We would definitely stay here again.
The cottage was super cute! The owner communicated quickly and was so sweet! It was my first time to the Big Island and the location was a perfect location from the farm that my family live at. Check in process and check out process was super easy!

Aloha Jeanette, weʻre so happy that you enjoyed your stay & hope to host you again in the future =)
Amazing property. Beautiful, quiet, private space. Very nice two bedroom unit with everything you need. We really enjoyed Koki, a sweet dog that would visit from time to time. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck and listening to the birds and frogs. We’d love to stay again.

Aloha Steven, thank you for choosing to stay with us! Weʻre so happy that you enjoyed your stay & hope to host you again in the future =)
Wonderful place. Fully equiped and elegantly furnished. The house is private, surrounded by lush gardens. We spent a quite a while on the wonderful lounges on the lanai. Would definitely stay here again.
We love staying in the Captain Cook area, and this property was perfect! Well appointed, comfortable home with a great lanai. The coqui frogs will serenade you in the evening, chickens will do the same in the morning, and Kiko (a very friendly dog) will stop by to say hello once or twice a day. We will definitely hope to stay here again on future trips to the Big Island.
We were so fortunate to stay in such a beautiful house. From the moment we walked in we felt at home. It may not be for everyone, but we were looking for a quiet place far from resorts but close to good hiking and other sights. Most nights we cooked on the grill and relaxed on the awesome lanai. Having Kiko the dog visit on occasion was a bonus! I’m already looking forward to staying here next year.
This was the most beautiful retreat like location it literally is 10 times better than it appears in the posting. This home is decorated with love and attention. The property is secluded safe and beyond words. We absolutely looked forward to coming home in the evening to hear the frogs to nap in the afternoon, hearing the chickens, and to wake to the rooster Keiko was an added bonus as the most lovable dog on the island. Due to line maintenance we did return home to no power one evening. The host was responsive within minutes. We lit candles and enjoyed the frogs until power was restored a few hours later. - we had zero issues. Hands-down, our best VRBO experience.
This was an amazing place to stay. Spacious, clean, well ventilated. The apartment is superbly equipped - kitchen utensils, beach items, laundry pods you name it! It is located on a scenic farm and we really enjoyed the sounds of surrounding nature. Can’t wait to stay again!
Very well appointed, a lot of thought has gone into the complete renovation of this cottage. Clean and comfortable with a great vibe. Yes, there are more than a few chickens, but you are in the country in a lovely location. Would stay again without hesitation.

Very nice and full of lush vegetation. Amazing garden with plenty of geckos and coqui friends at night. Close to captain cook and to some areas with good snorkeling
Beautiful spot but could use a review by owner. Having a single mirror in only the bathroom made getting ready by all guests tough and the kitchen could benefit from a drip coffee machine but not a deal breaker since they provided a chimex with hot water pot. The welcome of Kona coffee and fruit was a very nice and kind touch. Would stay again.
