ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- This single-story home requires exterior steps to enter
- The homeowners live on-site and may be present during your stay. The units share the laundry area
- Due to the home's private, undeveloped, tropical location, guests may come in contact with geckos inside of the home. They are not aggressive, are normal to see in the area and help control the bug population. There are ultrasonic frequency emitters in the home to keep them away
- This property may not be suitable for children due to an adjacent open ravine lined with jagged lava rocks and elevated lava rock areas that pose fall risks
- Your safety matters. This property features 2 exterior security cameras on the owner’s main house (not the guest property). Camera 1 is a Ring device on the owner’s front door of the main house facing the street and driveway. Camera 2 is on the owner’s back door of the main house facing the yard, stairwell, and backyard. The cameras are outward facing and do not look into interior spaces. The cameras record video and sound when activated by motion

    A lovely cottage to spend our honeymoon. Only a few minutes walk from the lovely Magic Sands Beach. We were able to cook all our own food and were grateful for the pantry staples. All the provisions were more than expected. One minor issue that the top windows in the bedroom did not have a curtain so the room was light early in the morning which made it hard to sleep in. But we would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

    The cottage was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Kona. We so appreciated the convenience to the beach, the communication regarding check-in and check-out, and the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. I would highly recommend this sweet cottage to everyone. Thank you April for your hospitality.

    Amazing location and great hosts! The space was clean and perfect with extra accommodations for people traveling. We had access to their water toys/ beach items/ sunscreen. It was a comfortable and relaxing spot with privacy and walkability to the beaches and dining options.

    This cottage was perfect for my husband and I. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. I appreciated the provided beach gear and beach towels. There was also a shared laundry room that was put to good use during our stay. Our host April was communicative and responsive, and also super friendly. Check-in and check-out was very easy and instructions were clear. Highly recommend staying here!

    So peaceful, and yet a five minute walk to the beach (and to a decent restaurant!). Great responsiveness from our host. The guest house has everything we wanted - perfect for a week in Kona.

    This is a quiet detached 1 bedroom unit, with parking available in the large driveway of the main home. The area behind and to the side of the unit is green space, and the location is in a quiet neighborhood, which is great for those (like me) that wanted peace and quiet. Everything about the unit was as described, and was quite comfortable. The kitchen and appliances were well-stocked, with a small table and chairs for eating, although an outside table was also available. In short, I was quite happy.

    The perfect setting for a Kona Side stay! April, your host, is fantastic and this was the most well appointed vacation rental we've ever stayed at, she thought of everything. The sitting area is private, facing the undeveloped island flora, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktail. A few short blocks and your at Magic Beach, and walking either way from there is more beaches in short distance. We could not recommend this rental more!

    We stayed for 6 days, and it was perfect for us. It was a quick walk to a lovely location to watch experienced boarders and the sunset. And a quick drive to a perfect swimming and snorkeling beach. The cottage had all the amenities we needed to enjoy the beach. Host April was welcoming and gave us great recommendations. We truly appreciated the quiet while being close to Kona area activities. A perfect location to combine a beach and hiking vacation.

    This is a back garden cottage, which provides good and adequate accommodation. It is part of a purely residential area which has no immediate amenities - so there is no holiday vibe. Magic sands beach is a 10 minute walk, but this is not for families or casual swimmers. We spent most of our time in Kailua-Kona and would have been happier staying closer to that area. The cottage itself is minimalistic with no special or endearing features, although we had no significant issues or reason to complain.

    Great stay, great location, and quiet neighborhood. The property has everything one needs. My only suggestion would be to put black out curtains on the east side of the bedroom, including the top windows, since the sun rises early.
