While the cottage is across the street from a great black sand beach - there are 2 other beaches nearby in Kaimu ( 3.5 miles) and Pohoiki - which has 2 warm ponds just 8 miles down our stunningly beautiful oceanfront road.

Loved the cottage and location. It was perfect for 2 of us. The A/C in the bedroom made sleep comfortable. The full size fridge was great for us because we cook. We were able to do everything we needed to with the electric skillet, single burner and microwave. The Puna Coast and drives thru the jungle were stunning. A must see in HI.

Everything was exactly as expected. Easy access down to the beach and exactly what we were looking for! Host had laundry services and beach supplies onsite which added to our experience. We will definitely recommend this to friends visiting the big island.

Yes, if you want to get away to a beautiful part of the Big Island - you’ve found us. In addition, things are about to get better as the county is reconnecting the main road between Rte 132 and Kalapana Kapoho Bch Rd. Newly created beaches may be accessed.

We agree that it is a great area - although semi- remote however we and many others feel our cottages are located in the most beautiful part of the island. Everyone has heard about Mauis’ ‘ road to Hana’ - well our cottage is located on Hawaiis’ own rad to Hana and it’s called ‘ Kalapana- Kapoho Bch Rd. It’s utterly ‘ gorgeous’.

The cottage was perfectly cute. Really enjoyable to stay here. If you want peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle this is the place for you. Black sand beach across the road cannot be beat.

Escape from the City

Just an awesome little cottage away from the city and traffic. If you’re looking for beaches and nightlife, this may not be an option for you. Great host, clean and comfortable.

There is a beach across the street which is very popular in our area but if you have a disability - the steps down to the beach can be a challenge. Most people have no problem w/ the rocky stairs and many people swim w/ the dolphins at this beach. There are warm ponds at the other beach nearby as well

Fair warning to all travelers, screen shot the instructions to get into the cottage before you leave Pāhoa as the reception is spotty at best. I had to drive all the way back to Pahoa to get the information onto my phone. Cottage is quaint and small but delivers what was Expected. Clean, ac worked quite well, all the amenities you Would need. Beach across the way is an optional clothing beach so be aware if you have kids lol. It’s a taste of actually Hawaii living and not at a resort. Sofa bed was decently comfortable but overall a good experience.

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.

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!

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.

We looked in to the matter and have replaced the cleaner . In addition, we have established a new quality control policy. Cleaners are now required to take photos of their work after cleaning a cottage when un- supersized.
