Perfect location! Great host! Like 5 star host!

Our stay at Mary and Tom’s Coffee Cottage was truly unforgettable! Nestled on their beautiful 350-tree coffee farm, this charming, treehouse-style studio offered the perfect romantic escape with stunning ocean views. The hillsides of Captain Cook are simply magical — bursting with fruit farms, coffee trees, and vibrant flowers — and the Coffee Cottage fits perfectly into that dreamy landscape.Mary was a wonderful host. Mary took the time to share local tips with us, recommending the best snorkeling spot at 2-Step, where to view the Captain Cook Monument from across the bay, and pointing us toward excellent local restaurants and hidden gems. The insight made our trip even more special.A few tips for future guests: Just Be. Take your time in the mornings sipping fresh coffee on the lanai — it's worth lingering over. After a day of adventures, come back to catch a spectacular sunset with a cold drink in hand. We brought binoculars and loved watching canoe paddlers in the bay and spotting exotic birds among the trees. During our stay, we also saw muskrats, roosters, colorful lizards, and a couple of friendly cats roaming the property.The Coffee Cottage is a truly special place where you can slow down, connect with nature, and soak in the magic of the Big Island. We can't recommend it enough — and we can't wait to come back! Stephanie and Cory

Wow! Our stay at this cottage was even better than we imagined. Outstanding hospitality, very beautiful, peaceful setting yet very convenient to amenities and beaches. Loved the coffee grown on the farm! We would come back in a hear beat. Mahalo!

We needed a few days of R & R after a hectic week on Oahu fighting traffic and hordes of tourists. This Captain Cook cottage was just what we needed. The hosts were very accommodating without being intrusive, and communication including instructions for locating/entering the unit was as needed. Located in a quiet neighborhood with the perfect elevated back deck overlooking the hillside with a garden-scape, small coffee planting and not-too-distant sunset views of the ocean. The bird watching from the deck was amazing, as was nearby snorkeling. Breakfast at the nearby Coffee Shack is not to be missed. We like the vibe of the area and will make a point to come back. The rental is located in an estate-type neighborhood that was once a historic coffee plantation. Properties all have some acreage and lots of tropical landscaping so you are not looking at other homes or seeing them. We could occasionally hear some mowers or distant construction, but overall not intrusive, and about as quiet as anywhere we had found in Hawaii.
