About this house rental
Perched directly above the lava-rock shoreline along Ali‘i Drive, The Cottage is a classic oceanfront retreat where coastal breezes, island color, and unobstructed sunsets shape each day. This one-bedroom home blends nostalgic Kona charm with thoughtful modern updates, creating a peaceful landing spot for couples, small families, and travelers seeking a true sense of place on the Big Island.
What You’ll Love About The Cottage
• True oceanfront living with panoramic views and vibrant nightly sunsets
• Oversized lanai with dining, lounging, and shade structures for all-day enjoyment
• Recently refreshed kitchen and bath with granite counters and warm wood cabinetry
• California King primary suite with ocean views and direct lanai access
• Walkable to Kahaluʻu Beach State Park for snorkeling and sea turtles
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.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
The Cottage was a wonderful respite for our trip. As others have said, there were some gnats that were present in the bathrooms and on the outside of the house (that swarmed at night), but we found that if we left the light on inside, the gnats swarmed to the window and left us alone on the deck. And, it is after all a tropical environment, so while we saw the occasional cockroach outside, there were none inside!When we arrived, our code didn't work, but the person on the other side of the emergency line helped us out since there was a photo shoot before we arrived.We loved the bathroom, and the kitchen was well equipped. We could have used some ziploc baggies to store food or other things that we couldn't finish eating, but we found most of what we needed. The A/C units (2) were perfect for the size of the house, and it was great to have a washer and dryer there. Bring your own dryer sheets if you want; while there were laundry pods (thank you!!) there were no dryer sheets. The views were one-in-a-million. The waves crashing on the lava rocks below were loud, but lovely. The yellow tangs greeted us each day out off the deck as they were hanging out in the reef beyond the deck. There were lots of surfers each morning, so if you like to sleep with the window curtains open, beware. I only wish that this had another bedroom with bunk beds or twin beds so that our kids could enjoy this house! We will definitely come back to this in the future - we had a great time!

Stunning oceanfront rental right on the rocks with waves crashing 24/7. Spotless property with comfortable bed, huge shower, plenty of towels, and full-size toiletries plus starter soap supplies. Excellent A/C, reliable WiFi, two parking spots, and fully stocked kitchen. Quiet area, walking distance to beach for swimming/snorkeling/surfing with gear rental nearby. Close drive to restaurants.Cons: No indoor dining option, limited food storage, outdoor cushions get wet, string lights don’t work, bed creaks when moving, no living room TV, bedroom lacks curtains for privacy into lihing room if have a group of 4.Bottom Line: Despite minor issues, this oceanfront location delivers an incredible experience. The sound of crashing waves and peaceful setting make it perfect for a relaxing retreat. Highly recommended for ocean lovers seeking comfort and tranquility.

As we walk into this cute little house it was just amazing from the front gate to the door you’re welcome by flowers and plants then you open the door and there it is a view of the Pacific Ocean the sound of the waves braking will put you right to sleep the in side is just as cool as the location I have traveled all over the world and even have a home in the Bahamas on the water but this place is very special if you come to Kona and do not stay here you will miss out on the best part of your trip

Great location. View was amazing. But this place has a very bad roach problem. And they are huge and everywhere. This place cost a lot of money to deal with all the roaches that were there.
