Stayed Mar 24, 2026Wow, what a great location in south Kona! The property and the cabin itself are secluded, about 3/4 mile up from the main road. With this, you experience peace, solitude, and the natural beauty, color and sounds of Hawaii.Several beaches are within a 15-20 minute drive.The cabin itself is exactly as shown in the photos. Everything is clean, comfortable and functional. Pro Tip! - take a good look around the cabin after arriving, there are beach towels, snorkel gear, umbrellas, blankets, maps, etc. The wi-fi also works well for videos and streaming.Jeffrey and Heide are fantastic hosts - they are accessible, and knowledgeable about the island, where to shop, eat, and also activities to do. Their friendly dogs and cats - especially Cheese Whiz, the orange tabby- will show up often for pets!

Stayed Jan 6, 2026The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They fed us two meals as well as supplying breads, coffee, fruit and other produce. The cabin was clean and neat, very quiet and very attractive. The grounds were lush and tropical. In addition the two dogs were very friendly and very cute. The only complaint was the temperature at night as the walls are not insulated. In January and February, the temperature was in the low 60's inside at night. However once the sun came into the cabin, it warmed up very quickly. The hosts were very accommodating, providing extra blankets and an extra heater which helped a great deal.

Stayed Jul 2, 2025We felt like we stayed in true Hawaii, not a resort. Great accomudations if a wee bit rustic. Convenient to things we wanted to see and do. Hosts were gracious and friendly.

Stayed Apr 8, 2025We really enjoyed the bungalow and setting, as well as the amiable host and hostess. Would return in a heartbeat. Our expectations were exceeded. Birds, flowers, fruit trees and froggies. We slept well every night to the melodies of Paradise.

Stayed Feb 26, 2025Jeffrey and Heide are wonderful people who've created a very cozy space for their guests. It is quite rustic and has its quirks but it's also beautiful and thoughtfully appointed, so if you are wanting a resort experience, this is not for you. if, however, a rustic, cozy cabin full of thoughtful touches, art, books, games, and pretty much anything you could need on the side of the mountain in cooler air, up a steep, bumpy road, away from the commercialism of Kona proper, surrounded by lush vegetation and the (fairly loud) sounds of frogs in the evenings and birds in the morning is up your alley, then this is for you.My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here and truly appreciate our hosts' hospitality and the visits from their little dogs and Cheese-Wiz kitty!

Stayed Feb 1, 2025Lovely stay at the cottage surrounded by nature. Enjoyed being serenaded to sleep by the frogs and waking up to the roosters. Appreciated the well stocked kitchen, the fruit, bread, eggs and milk were definitely a cost savings. Hosts were very responsive to questions. Enjoyed meeting Cupcake, Buddy and Cheesecake :) A little cooler up on the mountain, glad we had sweatshirts. Great location near Two Step beach and Captain Cook monument for some great snorkeling!

Stayed Dec 30, 2024From the moment we arrived, Jeffrey and Heide went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. We were greeted with homemade gluten free bread, Lilikoi jelly, fresh eggs and local fruit. A complete overview of all the inner workings of the cabin was provided as well. Koa Cabin is beautifully appointed and has everything you need: beach towels, snorkel sets, beach chairs umbrellas, and even a few furry friends that we fell in love with! The property is serene, peaceful and beautifully maintained. The kitchen is fully stocked. Washer and dryer out the back door and even an iron for my granddaughter! Jeffrey was so kind to set the barbeque up for us complete with briquettes when I asked about using it. Thank you, Jeffrey and Heide for making our visit 'home' a magical one. Your attentiveness and caring nature is truly wonderful. A hoi hou!

Stayed Jun 4, 2024A wonderful experience in the back country of the Big Island! Our hosts Jeff and Heide were very accommodating, providing us with just-baked bread, eggs, fruit and lilikoi jelly. There are two friendly pups who visit occasionally and a myriad of different birds to watch and flowers and trees to explore on the grounds. The cabin itself is cozy, well-appointed, with everything you would need for a getaway. Although we were lucky with dry conditions, you will need a 4-wheel drive as roads are steep and can be slippery in wet. We were thoroughly enchanted with this area - away from the Kona hustle and bustle, but close enough to visit beaches and restaurants. Special shoutout to the amazing hospitality provided by our hosts Heide and Jeff - we hope to return soon!

Stayed May 25, 2024The property is like a botanical garden. It’s beautiful and beautifully maintained. The rental is down a small hill from the main house. 4x4 recommended to get up the hill, especially when it rains. This is exactly the type of property that my wife and I enjoy the most. Private Clean Unique Well appointed. We have rented many VRBOs but this was the first time we took our hosts to dinner. Jeffery and Heida are awesome and so thoughtful. We loved our stay and loved our hosts.
