Living & Dining
The moment you enter, island-inspired artwork, vaulted ceilings, and custom shelving set a welcoming tone. Large windows frame the Pacific just beyond, giving the living room a naturally bright and breezy feel. Settle into the comfortable seating, enjoy your favorite show on the smart TV, or open the doors to let the sound of the surf become the soundtrack of your stay.
Indoor dining flows easily to the lanai, where alfresco meals unfold against wave-splashed rocks and endless horizon views.
Chef-Ready Kitchen
Fully remodeled with granite countertops, warm wood cabinetry, and full-size appliances, the kitchen offers everything you need for effortless vacation cooking. Brew fresh Kona coffee, prepare island-style breakfasts, or plate a sunset dinner to enjoy outdoors. With ample storage, cookware, and small appliances, the space is as functional as it is inviting.
Outdoor Oasis
The oversized lanai is where The Cottage truly shines. Multiple seating zones invite you to dine, lounge, or unwind in shaded comfort while waves crash just below. Watch dolphins and seasonal whales offshore, sunbathe beside the ocean, or simply settle in for a nightly show as the sky melts into vibrant hues. A private yard adds additional space to relax, surrounded by tropical plantings.

- Zunächst mal das positive, die Lage des Hauses und die Terrassen direkt am Meer mit dem tollen Blick auf den Sonnenuntergang waren super und auch die etwas altmodische aber traditionelle Einrichtung hat uns grundsätzlich gut gefallen. Allerdings war die Klimaanlage kaputt, es wurde uns eine alternative Unterkunft angeboten, aber es handelte sich um eine Wohnung in Kona und da wir weder umziehen noch in eine Wohnung direkt in Kona wollten, blieben wir. Wir haben dafür eine Entschädigung erhalten, das wissen wir zu schätzen.Das Haus sollte dringend an manchen Stellen renoviert werden, besonders die Küche und das Bad waren schon alt und beim genaueren hinsehen hat man überall die Mängel gesehen, die man natürlich auf den Fotos vorher nicht gesehen hat.Es wäre für uns alles akzeptabel gewesen, wenn der Preis nicht so hoch gewesen wäre, die Unterkunft war nicht das gezahlte Geld wert, wir hatten auf Maui eine halb so teure Unterkunft auch direkt am Meer. Es war unser Honeymoon und wir haben wirklich Geld in die Hand genommen und waren aber letzten Endes enttäuscht!
