Book a Ocean View Cottage

"This home was even nicer than it appeared in the listing photos. The decks are enormous and provide an ocean view as well as a hillside view. This house is the last house on the road so the view across the hillside is unobstructed. The neighborhood beach is across the street and we never saw more than 3 or 4 people on it. The water was calm during our stay so we snorkeled and found some great coral, turtles and fish. It was wonderful.The kitchen is the best stocked of any VRBO we’ve stayed in and the house is immaculate. This house is managed by the owner and he is very easy to contact and work with. I intend to stay here again on my next trip."

"We loved this house and the area. We got to travel around the entire Island and were able to come home to this quiet peaceful oasis. Falling asleep to the waves was incredible. Owner was so helpful and his communication is flawless! We can’t wait to go back! "

"Off the beaten path, cute place."

"The property is in such a great location right on the ocean. I think it had the best layout for actually seeing the waves breaking on the cliffs. The pool was nice to hang out in. We saw a few dolphins and a sea turtle. The cabinets could be cleaned a bit better and it would be nice to have a cabinet available to put our food and supplies into. The house is not sealed, so there are constantly geckos inside and on the counters. We also had a centipede in the bedroom the first morning we woke up. That was a bit unnerving. There aren't curtains on the bedroom doors. While some people might be comfortable with this, it would be nice to have the option for privacy especially since in the welcome book you're told the owners will come by to pick up the garbage and service the pool without specific days or times. Overall, it was a good stay. There are books to reference for the island and a few games and dvds. The radio with speakers outside was a nice touch. The sunsets couldn't be beat!"

"Big Island Yurt Adventure was absolutely amazing!!Johns property has all sorts of local fruits and vegetables as well as a few animals to spend some time with, he even brought us up a pitcher of juice he made from fruits on his property.He had all the creature comforts all the way down to designer samples of cologne in the bathroom cabinets.This place was lacking not one single thing needed. At its elevation It was a cool 68ish in the mornings and just warm enough to remind you you were in Hawaii in the afternoon. And to top it off, One of my daughters left a little purse and a few things there and he had it in the freaking mail before we even made it back home. 10 out of 10And we will be back again"

"Property was amazing! The view was breathtaking, definitely would love to come back sometime."

"My family of 4 stayed here for 4 nights. It fit our needs perfect. Very cute a cozy. We spent most days exploring the island and Mongoose Manor gave us a nice place to rest. Great relaxing views. It is a good central spot between Kona and Hilo, especially if you would like to explore both sides separately. Great experience all around."

"This home was perfect for my husband and I for our honeymoon. The views are gorgeous and every sunset is breathtaking! Great spot for fishing as well! The home had everything we needed for when we cooked. Washer and dryer in the home helped a lot! They have scuba gear for you to use, definitely took advantage of that! The bed was comfy and clean. We stayed here for 8 wonderful nights, we even brought our own small telescope to watch the sky since you can see every star possible! Also you’re welcomed by geckos every day, it was so neat!"

"This is a beautiful place. Plenty of room for our family. 3rd bedroom does have a separate entrance but, it was fine for our older kids! Beautiful drive to get there and beautiful views. It is a drive from bigger areas but, we travelled most of the island so it was kinda in the middle. Would definitely stay there again"
