If you are looking for a rural Hawaiian experience, this is the place to be. The house was as advertised including the friendliest dog in the world that will visit (if you want).

We loved it and are sad to move on. We will miss the sounds of frogs and roosters, the beautiful sunsets and sunrises, Bernie (the dog), and the geodome domicile - comfortable and charming!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. several little lizards came to our outdoor breakfast table, and we loved feeding them. One of us did get eaten up by either mosquitoes or no-see-ums, despite applying bug spray liberally. We also had to get used to the very loud nocturnal coqui frogs—bring ear plugs.

Our stay at this cottage was just okay. The pictures are true to the place. It was remote and off the grid as what we wanted, however they didn’t disclose a few things like: you can’t run a blow dryer or use a hair straightener due to their solar power. I wish that would have been disclosed and not read it on a stickey note in the bathroom. The bed was just okay, not very comfortable and cheap bedding.There is a an Ant problem. So don’t leave any open food out on the counters. Also one morning we got up and the box of kleenix by the bed was full of ants. I had no food or drink on the stand at all during our stay.to attrack the ants there. Also when we went to make dinner the night we arrived, we ended up washing dishes that were in the cupboard dirty! Before We even ate. Gross! There was no large garbage can for garbage at all.They advertised a coffee pot but ther wasn’t a coffee pot just a French press and no toaster! You had to toast your bread over the gas stove. .this was our first experience in a Vrbo rental and it was just okay. I realize it is remote as we live in the country ourselves but the ant issue wasn’t pleasant. The toilet does run like an RV ( camper toilet) which doesn’t bother us as we have an RV but there’s didn’t flush good at all! We rented this cottage based on the reviews we read and they were all excellent but I would not give them an excellent review based on what we experienced. I was disappointed after having read how good the reviews were!

I highly recommend this place, although…. It’s about an hour from Kona airport and a little hard to find after dark….but the stars at night were amazing and it’s in a quiet area that is so relaxing. It’s a distance to anywhere-including restaurants are at least a half hour away…but you’re not in the crowded business of Kona. The frogs are fun to listen to at night…but I needed earplugs to sleep. The sunset is beautiful…. But it gets hot in the unit late afternoons and evenings….and it was very comfortable sleeping at night with the doors and windows open.

Dennis and Jan have a great off-the-grid setup with this cottage! Views are spectacular with beautiful sunsets. Getting in and out was easy peasy! Cottage reminded us of a yurt or two that we have stayed in! Plenty of room for 2. Kitchen toaster was a favorite and the french press created an excellent cup of Kona brew! Thanks Dennis and Jan for the wonderful accommodations and giving us a comfortable place to crash after our days of island exploration and fun-taking!!!

Great place and location. Very clean and comfortable. Kitchen was very well equipped. The property has multiple types of fruit trees that the owners of the property left us an assortment of what was ripe and we enjoyed.

Beautiful setting in Capt Cook. Just what we wanted away from the crowds.
The sounds of nature to go to sleep and wake up to was so amazing and relaxing.
We absolutely loved getting visits from Bernie too!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The cottage is very clean and comfortable, perfect for my husband and I. It’s off the beaten path, very peaceful with private surrounding gardens and has everything needed. Our host Dennis was very helpful and we loved being welcomed by Bernie. A great place to stay!

Great place very clean and quiet, has everything you need for a great vacation!! Love the sound of the frogs at night, and my friend Bernie always greeted me with I came home from a days adventure! Would absolutely stay here again!

Gorgeous property off the beaten path. Quiet calm nights with the sounds of nature. House had all the amenities you need. No air conditioning was not a problem due to the low beach temperatures. Did not want to leave. Will return for sure.

This place is magical- the only noise you hear are natural ones (the frogs at night were wonderful), and that peace of mind is deeply soothing.
Also, Dennis has the best starfruit I’ve ever had!
