This was our third place to stay on this trip to the Big Island and the accommodations were far different from our other stops. We had stayed in a condo in downtown Kailua and then at a condo in the resort area of Waikoloa. This was a stay in the country. The "cabin-like" accommodation comfortable and the location was both refreshing and invigorating. This cabin is situated on a large parcel of land that was beautifully landscaped. There was a large expansive lawn area surrounded by flowers which provided wonderful a 180 degree unobstructed view of the Kailua area and provided very nice sunsets. We were provided with beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs and snorkel equipment for our use. We especially loved the screened-in lanai and the cooler temperatures found up on the mountain. The temperatures here are 5-10 degrees cooler that in downtown Kailua or in Waikoloa. The only issue that you should be aware of is that at night, the coqui frogs can be very loud (especially after a rain!). It would have been nice to have some earplugs that first night. By the second night we had gotten used to the sounds. There are also a number of hens and roosters around - which could also be noisy at times. If you want to stay in a unique place that has flowers, trees, views and can handle the animal sounds, you should definitely stay here.

Lisa has a lovely cottage set up for guests. The setting and view are amazing. She came by to introduce herself - a lovely and very hardworking woman. The cottage had everything we needed .

On our arrival at this lovely pink cottage we were touched by the fresh fruits, flower arrangement, and excellent coffee, roasted by Lisa. The kitchen was newly remodeled with a cabinet, beautiful quartz countertop and 2-burner electric stovetop. The space was cozy, immaculate and had everything we needed. We particularly loved the history connected to the cottage and land, as well as the artwork inside. It was very creative! There is a carport and another rental nearby, but no lack of privacy. It was quiet, with entertainment mainly from birdsong and coquis, as well as a few chickens with newly hatched chicks. The large lawn had an infinity-like edge to it, with an endless view to the ocean. We sat there to watch the sun go down, and also to exercise on the soft grass. The extensive grounds had beautiful gardens and fruit trees. Lisa's modern coffee roasting workplace was behind our cottage. We had the chance to buy her freshly roasted coffee which was a real treat on our return to our below zero home! Lisa is a wonderful host, warm and welcoming. If you are looking for a place that has a feel of authentic Hawaii and is within the artistic community of Holualoa, away from the hustle-bustle of resorts but still close to local attractions, this is it!

If you love history and character this is the place for you! Lisa's property is absolutely stunning. My husband and I stayed in her cottage during our first stop on the big island. This is the perfect place to stay right outside of Kona. Thank you for your hospitality, Lisa.

Lisa was a very communicative and welcoming host. The place was clean and super cute, we loved the screened lanai for morning coffee. The kitchen had everything you need and the coffee and fruit provided were much appreciated. The lawn overlooking the water was spectacular at sunset. The only downsides were the driveway, very steep and hard to get out of in our dodge charger rental, and there was a fair amount of car noise from the road and lots of roosters crowing from the neighbouring property.

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.
