Situated on the island's western side at a cool 1300ft elevation, this small cottage is suitable for two people. Privacy is the keyword.

This is a quiet, clean, peaceful place with A/C. It is near the airport, town, and beautiful beaches, located in a safe, affluent neighborhood.

After the lava eruption on the other side of the island in 2018 subsided, we are now thrilled to have the best air quality and blue skies since 2007!

The space
Suitable for 1 single person or a couple. Lovely room with sliding glass door opening to a private deck to sit and enjoy the birds and all year-round tropical climate. Keep in mind that with any place you stay in Kona, if you are at LESS than 1000 ft, it’s a hot and humid. We are at 1300 ft - just perfect.

Guest access
The cottage is turnkey ready and self-check-in. As you can see in the pictures, it is one room with a kitchenette with dishware and utensils, sink, microwave, gas grill, ceiling fan, plus a separate bathroom with hot water shower, sink, and WC. There is a lovely deck to sit and relax. The cottage is WiFi ready.

This private, stand-alone building is always accessible without us being home.

Arrival times at the cottage can be late, and we don't mind. Early arrivals are difficult for us because the cottage is so popular, and we need the time to clean it.

Generally, check-in is after 3:00 pm, and check-out is before 11:00 am.

Other things to note
Please note that if an infant exceeds the number of people allowed to book, there will be a charge as if they were an additional person. We will reach out to you after the booking is confirmed.

Hawai’i island is mountainous and big. We recommend renting a car. (Bikes don’t work well here as we live at 1300 ft above sea level.)

If you like hiking, remember to bring heavy-duty hiking boots, with thick, rigid soles. You will be glad you did. Also, bring a rain jacket. You will need it at some point when you explore the Tropical Rainforest. If you plan to visit the summit of Mauna Kea, bring a pair of long pants and a warm jacket. On the summit, it is quite cold in Hawaii, (sometimes complete with snow) at 13,796 feet above sea level.

All paper products and linens are included.

Our day usually starts around 10 am, then we are pretty much available all day and late into the night unless we are working.

We do sincerely care about the quality of your stay, so please text us if you need to and we will respond ASAP. We are very grateful you booked with us and want to be good hosts.

We ask that you closely abide by our 11:00 AM checkout time because the cottage is becoming very popular and we need that time in between to clean it for our next guests.

Neighborhood highlights

Our neighborhood is safe and quiet. We have one neighbor across the driveway, but everyone else is with good distance. All properties are 1 acre big, and you can reach our street with two turns from an important connecting road.

It takes 7-10 minutes to/from the airport, 15-20 minutes to "downtown" Kailua-Kona and 15 minutes to a spectacular beach.

There is a convenience store called Matsuyama a few blocks away for you to get comfort food fast. Safeway is 15 minutes away.

Aloha! I came to Hawaii in 1998 as a tourist, and never really left. I am originally from Germany, so we are a two language household. My husband James has lived on-island since 1991. We love to share the beauty of this incredible Big Island, there is so much to explore and see that is spectacular and amazing. A visit to Hawaii Island also tends to have a healing affect on people as they experience the unique, natural beauty all around them. We are ocean lovers, passionate Manta Ray Advocates*, and are happy to share our knowledge of the island with you as if you were friends or family. We can steer you towards tour operators who know what they are doing and also to those little know activities that are self-guided and free. Airbnb is venture for us, but we have 12 years of experience of sharing our additional rooms in the main house (the upstairs of our Tropical Treasure). We've created a great space and are confident about our ability to host you. We tend to give our guests lots of space and privacy, but we are readily available if you need us or have questions. * We would love to show you the mantas rays if you are an adventurous ocean lover. Inquire :)
