Beautiful little house tucked in the mountain! Very secluded and peaceful.
This place was wonderful! Nestled away in the hills, just a short drive to beaches, restaurants, and shops. 10/10 would stay again!
We had an incredible time! The location was truly one-of-a-kind, tucked away from the usual hustle and bustle. It was enveloped in the harmonious sounds of cicadas, coqui frogs, and the most adorable cats
We enjoyed staying in the cottage but was disappointed it wasn't closer to the Holoalua shops and restaurants and found there was less to do in Holuahoa than we expected.
Blown away by the serenity and sounds of nature all the while 20 mins from hustle bustle of beach life. Highly recommend Stepanie’s place and awesome cottages.
Great place that is exactly as advertised. Peaceful. Restorative. Relaxing.
Charming, close to nature cottage, complete with indoor geckos and serenading frogs. We enjoyed being literally "above the fray" in the cool elevation a short drive from Kailua. Simple but comfortable, the kitchen was small for a family of four, but was very manageable with a small fridge and hot plate. A lovely treat!
Located in the heart of the Kona Coffee Belt, this is a very beautiful property. Nestled on 5 acres there is plenty of room to walk around and enjoy the lush green scenery, enjoy a banana from one of the trees, watch the Turkeys and Chickens. We even had the company of the resident cat, Raja. The temperatures were perfect for having the windows open and sitting on the porch listening to the sounds of living in the country.
This is an amazing and unique property situated in Holualoa over looking Kona and the beautiful pacific ocean. The property is surrounded by lush vegetation, cows, chickens and wild turkeys. If you want a getaway from the resorts this is it! If you want a quiet bungalow with the ability to drive down the hill to the tourist areas, you need to stay here. We were also traveling with our little fur baby...toy poodle...and she love it as well.
It was a special experience to stay in the Holualoa area of the Big Island. The cottages are set amidst some beautiful scenery of huge trees, flowering plants, colorful birds, and even one of the famous Kona coffee plantations. The owners have put in quite a lot of thought to allow you to get a feel of the Island of Hawaii, and helped us with tips on finding our way around the Island for our sightseeing. The airport, town center and beach are just a short drive away from this residential area, for you to go out for the activities offered in the area, or bring in supplies to enjoy in this homelike setting. It does not feel cramped like a hotel room with a ton of other people in close vicinity. The decor in this cottage showed the artistic creativity of some person or people but all done with thought given to safety and convenience as well. For being in a small footprint the cottage included quite a lot in the kitchen, with a grill and picnic table just outside the door. It does not have air conditioning but the windows and screened sliding door let in outside air and there are fans to circulate air, and also an electric fireplace for the times when it is cold. Be prepared to hear roosters crowing around you at any time of the day and night-quite attractive critters though.
