The cottage is very cute with many original touches. The kitchen comes with a blender, rice cooker, etc. but overall has a very basic propane stove and cutlery/knives. It is worth noting that the cottage faces a back sitting area with a carpool on the ocean side so it doesn’t look out towards the ocean. The windows all have screens but some didn’t close so you get a constant breeze. There are no fans and it can become humid. The frogs at night are quite loud and it would be wise to bring ear plugs. It doesn’t have very comfortable seating on the lanai but there are additional chairs on the back patio area. This is a true step back in time.

My son and i visited the island for the first time and enjoyed our stay. He said it was the best trip ever! My son loved Hobbs the cat! He also enjoyed exploring the property and picking fresh star fruit. We were provided with fresh bananas, fresh star fruit, freshly roasted coffee and even with conversation at night! We had so much fun going out and exploring everyday.

This cottage is cozy and charmingly rustic. There is wonderful artwork in every room. The bed is comfortable, the fridge is mini and the cooktop was a gas canning stove that could be pushed out to the screened in porch. We didn't really use the kitchen much but it would have worked for us. There is a coffee bean roasting operation on site and we were provided some beans for morning coffee. The coffee was excellent (Kona Blue Sky). Our host Lisa came by while I was in the shower but my husband said she was lovely. Overall, I enjoyed our stay and would return.

Recently stayed with Lisa and could not be more pleased with our stay. Away from the noise of Kona but still 15 minutes from beach parks and 30 minutes from resort beaches this is an ideal location if you want to relax in the evening. Host was great, friendly quick to respond. Very cozy for two people but not too cozy. Will stay again if I am back on the island.

We loved our stay at Lisa’s. The grounds are amazing. We came from Waikiki to here and everything is so much more relaxed. Tucked away but still a short drive to restaurants and shops in Kona. Perfect base for us to explore the Kona area and west side of Big Island. Lisa was a lovely host, making us feel really at home. Thanks again for our stay!

Lisa is awesome and the property is really cool. History and culture, along with a quaint cottage nestled in banana and coffee plants. Couldn’t be happier with the visit. Wish we had more time but definitely would come back. Snorkeling with the gear from the cottage was a highlight and easy access to everything. Wonderful reefs within 5 miles. Thanks for a great first visit to the big island! Ron and Jamie.

Cozy, no frills, secluded cottage - just what we were looking for! Conveniently located; far enough from Kailua-Kona to escape the town experience - close enough to drive to the ocean and surrounding towns and beaches. Kitchen was equipped with the essentials to cook meals. The 2-burner propane stove got a workout and the portable charcoal grill received some use as well. Complimentary coffee, fruit and other treats were very nice. We snorkeled a lot and the gear provided was adequate. Beach towels, chairs and a cooler for personal use were appreciated. While the cottage is uphill from town in the forest, there was road noise. The Coqui frogs were very loud at night. Bonus - we loved the chickens, pooches, and smell of roasting coffee in the mornings. We felt like we were on a working farm. Sunsets were delightful from the property's overlook. The only thing missing was a direct view of the ocean from the cottage. Hosts were not intrusive but available and responsive when we had questions. Overall, we had a very positive experience.

We rented both the house and cottage for a family group of ten members. This was perfect - beautiful property, great views, helpful hostess, close to all our activities. Highly recommend!

The quaintness and coziness of Lisa’s cottage are beyond words. The location to beach and town is phenomenal but yet you feel that rural farm lifestyle on pristine grounds. The gardens and trees are just so lovely we’d stay there again in a heartbeat! Did I forget to mention her amazing coffee??that is included in the stay
