Oceanfront cottage w/ AC @ Kehena Beach, Hawaii

Fair warning to all travelers, screen shot the instructions to get into the cottage before you leave Pāhoa as the reception is spotty at best. I had to drive all the way back to Pahoa to get the information onto my phone. Cottage is quaint and small but delivers what was Expected. Clean, ac worked quite well, all the amenities you Would need. Beach across the way is an optional clothing beach so be aware if you have kids lol. It’s a taste of actually Hawaii living and not at a resort. Sofa bed was decently comfortable but overall a good experience.

We were at awe of the nature surrounding the cottage. We did our morning walk to the beach , we saw beauty everywhere, excellent area.

Mighty fine place to stay and explore! We will be back.

Very spacious cottage on a quiet area along the shore. Clean, comfortable bed, great view!

Our entire stay was perfect. The property and cottages are picture perfect - everything you would expect Hawaii to be. Our cottage was clean and comfortable and worked perfectly for us (Myself, my grown daughter and her boyfriend). This is where you go to disconnect from the world and just enjoy breathing.... living.....we truly did not want to leave. Proximity to Kehena Black Sand Beach was awesome - we were there all but one day of our stay. Pahoa Village was close enough to be convenient for food/necessities. Andre and Susan were very welcoming - it was like going to visit family. And every guest amongst the three cottages on the property during our stay were friendly as well. I'm hoping to return to this property again soon!

Everything was exactly as expected. Easy access down to the beach and exactly what we were looking for! Host had laundry services and beach supplies onsite which added to our experience. We will definitely recommend this to friends visiting the big island.

We felt very welcome and had great communication with the hosts!

Was very nice. Thought the cottage had a/c but it was only in bedroom so got quite warm in rest of house. We still enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Everything was perfect!

The cottage was cute, although away from most attractions. We chose to stay here based on the listing being across the street from a beautiful black sand beach. However, no where is it mentioned that the beach is clothing optional. As I was traveling with my teenage daughter, this detail made the beach unusable for us. The only other beaches were an hour drive. The warm ponds were cool and pretty close, but if you visit be sure to go at high tide. The cottage was cute but it bears to mention that the interior pictures don’t really match the actual interior. The furniture has been changed. There was a microwave, toaster and shared laundry. The bed was comfortable, but the living room furniture was well used and not super comfortable. If you stay here with family I would just expect to drive at least an hour to any attraction, whether it be a beach day or the National park. The hosts were helpful while giving us plenty of space. I just feel like the beach was really highlighted as a selling point while not providing the transparency of it being clothing optional.

We enjoyed the little cottage and it was everything we expected. The reason for my lower review is due to the fact that the beach across the street is clothing optional which means some folks choose to go in the nude. The beach is not large and the cottage is in a remote location. So with the beach not available the cottage did not retain its value for us. We left 2 days early and found a different place. So, if you want a family friendly beach wear people wear their clothes, this probably is not for you. If that doesnt bother you, then this place is excellent. The beach is not large and

This is a beautiful place and quite clean. They also have a cache of masks, snorkel, chairs and other beach items which is helpful. We used this cottage as base camp to visit Volcanoes NP. It is a good option if you have a rental car. They don't call it the Big Island for nothing. There is a lot of windshield time when traveling the area. My only constructive criticism of this property, as well as almost all other VRBOs, is to reduce the unnecessary furniture, bookshelves, and tchotchkes that are used to make it feel homie. The owners are really responsive and getting in and out was simple. Very, very cool place.

Lovely Cottege very close to the ocean with an amazing view. Pleanty to do in close proximity.

The cottage was perfectly cute. Really enjoyable to stay here. If you want peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle this is the place for you. Black sand beach across the road cannot be beat.

I love staying at the cottage. Everything I need is there in the location weasel fabulous. The bed was very comfortable and rooms were larger than expected. I would definitely stay again.
