Fall asleep to the hypnotic sound of the ocean waves. Plop into the hammock under the wonderful fragrant plumeria tree. Snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Kapoho Bay, only 50 yards away. Stroll a short distance down the nearly traffic-less lane to Champagne Pond, a huge geothermally heated warm pond, and snorkel in the always calm warm waters with sea turtles and colorful tropical fish.

Take a look for yourself.

Honeymoon couples love The Cottage! It is ideal for a single person, couple, or small family. The bedroom has a queen bed. A sofabed in the living room provides additional sleeping space. There is one full bath with a large shower, and an additional outdoor shower head allows you to rinse off easliy after a dip in the ocean, just around the corner.

From the wraparound deck you can listen to the waves and admire the tropical flowers, banana and palm trees. There is also lanai (covered porch) with a picnic table and barbecue for your outdoor dining pleasure. We also provide deck chairs, a deck table and beach chairs.

The cute kitchen is well equipped with refrigerator, stove, microwave, coffeemaker, coffee grinder, toaster, blender, rice cooker, pots and pans, cutlery, dishes, and so on. In other words, it has everything you need except for the food!

The Cottage sits on a grassy, private lot landscaped with coconuts, bananas, 3 types of plumeria (the most wonderfully scented flower), pineapple, papaya, hibiscus, red ginger, kolia, green ti, red ti, bougainvillea, and many other tropical plants. Lounging in the hammock under the stars is a favorite activity among our guests!

Chris L from Snow Camp, NC recommends this vacation rental

Everything was wonderful. We enjoyed the various shore accesses. We especially enjoyed the Champagne Pond. Pahoa was close enough to be able to eat out-a must for visitors would be Village Cafe in Pahoa-great burgers. We would definitely stay here again. Sure beats a hotel.

Only complaint was the itty bitty ants-they got into everything-especially the dirty clothes. We did not leave any food out for them to get into so I guess they had to find something else to get into. Missed having a dryer-had to go to a laudromat to dry the clothes the ants got into.

The place was spotless and the fridge had a nice compliment of spices inside. We BBQ'd and enjoyed swimming in Champagne Pond (which is truly amazing). We fell in love with area and we will be back!

a guest from Homer, AK recommends this vacation rental

My wife, 20 year old daughter and I had a wonderful time staying here. Everything was as described. Very clean, comfortable and welcoming. A 5 minute walk will bring you to all the access points to the ocean. (We actually prefer the snorkeling down the street at the tide pools but that is just us.) The only thing that was a slight downside was the workers doing construction next door. They start promptly at 8am and while the construction noise isn't bad, be prepared for a lot of "f-bombs" being freely tossed around in the course of their long distance conversations with each other. Aside from that, we had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage.

My husband and I truely loved our weekend getaway at The Cottage, it was everything we hoped it to be, quiet, clean, right on the water, simple beauty. We appreciated the fresh fruits and flowers, the Hawaiian music when we walked in. It wasn't pretentious yet there were many thoughtful details such as the first aid kit and emergency flashlights, condiments in the kitchen, beach towels and a cooler. The location was perfect, just as advertised, just a few yards from the water and around the corner from Champagne pond. The neighbors, both visitors and resident's were all friendly. Mahalo for sharing this piece of paradise with us.

a guest from Toronto, ON recommends this vacation rental

We had such a wonderful stay at the cottage! We absolutely would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to visit the Puna area. We had amazing adventures every day exploring all the local tide pools, swimming areas, markets, and Volcanoes National Park. We woke up every morning to the sound of the ocean, the fragrance of plumeria- surrounded by palm trees, banana trees and papaya trees. Every night, dinner on the deck looking at the ocean, and falling asleep to the sound of coqui frogs and geckkos. Fabulous, fragrant night walks as well.
The snorkelling is great! We swam and snorkelled everyday with our five-year-old daughter. There were safe, gentle areas for all of us to swim (she, with her life jacket). The beach access is great- something we found was difficult in much of Big Island.
We loved our stay at the cottage so much! Certainly, it was the highlight of our trip. Great location, beautiful time. We hope to come back again!
The only thing we disliked were the ants...everywhere! You certainly have to be diligent about wiping up and putting all your food in the fridge immediately. That being said- it was way less buggy than any cottage I have ever been to in Canada. Certainly, way less mosquitos!
The cottage had a great 1960's holiday feel that we adored as well. There was music on, and beautiful flowers from the garden when we arrived- as well as a very thorough information booklet that we found very helpful.
Thank-you for a wonderful, wonderful stay. Mahalo!

Barnaby D from Seattle, WA recommends this vacation rental

We very much enjoyed our stay of 10 nights at the Kapoho Cottage and highly recommend it to a couple or small family. Two minor glitches: First the information provided about several items in the welcome binder was old and innaccurate; it should be reviewed and updated. Second, the bathroom has a first aid kit on prominent display, but when I went to use it for a minor emergency, there was nothing in it but a very few band-aids. I recommend that the kit be checked and stocked on a regular basis.

other than that, everything was A+

Susan G from Tahoma, CA recommends this vacation rental

We loved, loved, loved our stay at The Cottage! It's in a friendly, clean gated community and a short walk away from Champagne Pond. Plus, the fantastic snorkeling at Kapoho tidepools is a 5 minute drive away. The cottage is small, but adorable with a tropical color scheme and island-themed furnishings. Note that there is no dishwasher or dryer... I don't mind hanging my clothes on the clothesline but the air is so moist that they don't dry very well. If our stay was longer than three nights, this could have been a problem when we ran out of clean clothes. We ate out in a romantic little Italian restaurant in town (Pahoa) on our last night called Paolo's. We highly recommend it, and we're quite picky since my husband used to be a waiter in a high-end restaurant. They do not have a liquor license, so bring your own wine and they're happy to serve it for you for a nominal ($5) corkage fee. We will definitely be back again, both to The Cottage and to Paolo's!

Nice little cottage centrally located near Champagne Pond. The only unfortunate aspect is that the oceanside neighbors are building a large two story house and carport that will definately obsure some of the view from cottage. Next visit we would probably look into Vacationland since it is adjacent to the Tide Pools which offer better snorkeling. Does your company offer any properties there?

Overall the cottage was a wonderful place to base the Hilo side of our vacation. I recommend getting there in daylight, we did the journey in the dark and it was tricky at best!
Champagne Pond is amazing once you figure out how to access it (you need to swim in from the access point or walk across a lava field).
Definitely recommend going to Costco on the Kona side before you get here as grocery options are limited and expensive.
The bathroom/shower unit was a bit cramped, but we made it work. The laundry is on the outside and seems like new.
The view is obstructed by the construction, but we found the crew to be very friendly and they don't work on Saturday or Sunday. Enjoy!

Julie I from Bellingham, WA recommends this vacation rental

We loved this little cottage and have always loved coming to Kapoho (10 years now) but we noticed some negative changes that have happened and personally were impacted by this. We had our car parked at the cottage and were either out for a walk or swim. The car was unlocked and I had left our binoculars in the middle compartment of the car and some lotion I had bought in the glove box. It wasn't until the next day that we could not find them and it took awhile before we realized that someone had prowled the car while it was at the cottage and taken those things. This put a huge damper effect on the rest of our trip and we realized that Kapoho was no longer the sweet local place that we had come to love.
- Manager Responded on 11/18/2010
  
  We are saddened by the recent prowling in Kapoho as well. As we state in our Welcome Letter, there have over the years been a few thefts from our guests. It is very important to lock up your car and the property when you're not around. This is such a sad state of affairs, but if followed, this practice will help keep your vacation a light and enjoyable one. Kapoho is still one of the most magical places I've ever been!

Krishnan B from London does not recommend this vacation rental.

This was a nice spacious cottage with good facilities and the housekeeper and owner seemed friendly. It is within a minute of the ocean, in fact you can see the sea from the lanai. You are also within a few minutes walk of a volcanically heated warm pond (Champagne pond) and there are other ponds and snorkelling areas nearby. There are some restaurants in Pahoa, and you are a short drive from the lava flow ocean entry (for now). Negatives were that we didn't find the actual community to have a very friendly feel, unlike most of the Big Island. There were Kapu, Keep Out, Private signs and large fences wherever you looked. In addition there were a lot of ants around the property so you have to be scrupulously clean to avoid being overrun by them. The week we were there it rained constantly but obviously this is down to luck! We found it a nice place to relax, read books, and explore the local sights. If you want to see this area and don't mind the ants I'd recommend the cottage; however if we returned to the Island we would probably miss this region around Pahoa altogether as it seemed less friendly than other parts.

The house is perfect for two people. You can see and hear the ocean from the covered deck. Very relaxing.

Washer and dryer were a big plus. Construction next door but looks like they should be wrapping up soon. Outdoor shower. Tiny little ants everywhere, but if you clean up after yourself they aren't too bothersome. The last night we were there the whole neighborhood lost power, but we really didn't miss it!!! Tara, in the office, was extremely helpful and courteous through out our stay. Definitely a great deal and would stay here again!!

Very, very nice property (very clean).

Would strongly suggest a clothes dryer be installed next to the clothes washer inside the cottage. The property did have a clothes line outside under the roofed porch but given the very high amount of humidity in the air (rain showers, etc) any washed clothes will (and did) NOT dry overnight outside (had to bring them inside and leave underneath the dining table ceiling fan running all night to dry out).

Loads of trees and flowers all around helped birds flutter and sing their praises! There was even a little arbor of trees that made a canopy cover. Easy walk to Champagne Pond and University Pond for swimming. The Cottage was a comfortable abode to spend a few days or even a week or two, although access to markets is a little far. Friendly neighbors and staff helped us aclimate to our surroundings. We ate breakfast one morning out on the veranda with a partial view of the ocean. I saw a Northern Cardinal up in a tree, gecko on the outside wall, mongooses sprinting across the roads. The queen-sized bed was nice and comfortable, and in the kitchen we found everything available for our needs. No dryer to accompany the washing machine, but a clothesline under the patio roof dries the clothes in an hour or two. Lots of fans helped keep down the heat. All in all, we had a wonderful time even though it was short.

The place was very cute but the bathroom was very small. We had a wonderful time. I would not recommend this place for a friend because of the bathroom.
