About this cottage rental

Located in Captain Cook, this attractive cottage for $250 per night is a great option for your next trip. Please check out the main house on the same property for larger groups: vrbo 1542506 This cottage is perfect for a couple looking to save money but still have a million dollar view. In Kealakekua Bay, just 3 minutes from some of the best snorkeling and wildlife viewing in the world, atop 49 tropical steps sits this private bungalow. There is a full sized outdoor kitchen, and modernized indoor/outdoor bathroom. This rental is suggested only for people confident in climbing 49 steps (see photos) multiple times daily as the stairs climb high to get the beautiful views and privacy. The house is located on a private road. There is a kitty cat that will come and visit and ask for snacks, she is very sweet. There is a 10p.m. no noise ordinance for the neighborhood. Noise travels very easily in the bay, you might not see people but you can still hear them. You can always go inside if you want to stay up later. ALOHA

Staying at the cottage was one of the highlights of our family trip to the big island in winter 2023. This location is in the middle of a residential area, but the cottage itself is nestled in the hill overlooking the bay. During our stay, it was incredibly quiet and the sounds of birds calling to one another was really the only communication we heard. The walk to the local beach Was short but steep. Agree with all other comments that the view was well worth it. During our stay, we experienced all of the amenities described, including whale siding, dolphin, siding, hiking the little kitty and other sea creatures at the beach. Highly recommend.

It's such a beautiful place to stay, clean and well maintained. They went the extra mile with soft towels and quality linens, everything you need is there. The view is insane (and so are the sunsets), the images of the whole property do not do it justice, it's even more beautiful in person. Gus was super responsive when I had a really dumb question, so nice :) The kitty coming by is a fun treat and so are the curious geckos. The drive in and out of the area is so lush and beautiful, and the beaches nearby are great. There's a nice row of unique shops in the area too, not that the Kona shopping districts are far. Do note that like others have said, it's indoor/outdoor living, so unless you are a super heavy sleeper, you will be up with the birds in the morning :) But, in Hawaii, that's a natural fit.

An open concept home that has the perfect tropical views of the bay. If you want to experience tropical living then this is the place. Everything needed for your stay is available. Very clean. Quiet. All the better to hear all of the birds and wind in the foliage. Highly recommend a stay here.

Loved every bit of staying here! Wasn't quite as privacy friendly as we thought but it was well worth it. We'd love to come back sometime. The cat was sooo cute so we bought her some treats while we were there. The owners were great. We had a lovely time.

As described, this residence was largely open air with a commanding view; think comfortable glamping in the tree tops! The bedroom and bathroom were enclosed and quite comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped with a full sized fridge and stove. The little, friendly geckos were everywhere and quite adorable. The area around Captain Cook was nicely situated for a large variety of activities including hiking, kayaking, snorkeling and biking. Groceries, coffee and excellent restaurants (especially Keei Cafe!) were also within close driving distance. If you can manage stairs, this cottage is highly recommended.

This is a beautiful, comfortable indoor/outdoor rental. The bedroom is modern and comfortable, and watching the sunrise and sunset from bed was such an indulgence. We were able to hear the waves crashing all day and night, otherwise the only noises are birds chirping. The bathroom is big and modern, and the washer/dryer a huge benefit. There is a fully stocked kitchen and grill, and even treats for the local kitty. The views can't be beat, and the location is convenient to Kona and some killer snorkeling spots. We would love to stay again!

Directions to property were very detailed with landmarks and that was much appreciated. Try to get there before dark as there are twisty curvy roads to navigate. There are 49 steps to get to the bungalow. Very clean with lots of seating areas. Best view is at high counter in front of the water. This is open air, so be mindful that you may see a gecko (harmless). Bedroom area is closed off and is neat. Nice tropical breezes. We spent all day there one of the days and it was one of our best relaxation days. We did the manta ray snorkel near Outrigger Resort and the drive back was not that far (albeit in the dark). (it will be further from say the Waikaloa resort area). We used this as a home base to explore Capt Cook area as well as driving over to Hilo to hit the Black Sand Beach, Pu'ulau Bakery. There are some good thrift shops, plus the Coffee Shack for breakfast was pretty good and had amazing views. We enjoyed the friendly black cat that came to say hello every day. Would we stay here again? Yes, I believe so. Quiet, peaceful and no light pollution.
