Cottage holiday rentals in South Kona

Absolutely perfect place to stay! Comfortable, spotlessly clean, and had everything you could possibly need for a stay. Both indoor and outdoor spaces were a delight and made for a perfect stay. Super convenient access to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and beautiful peaceful surroundings. Host was proactive, friendly, helpful, and provided lots of great info. Would be delighted to stay here again.

Everything was perfectly fine, we stayed a couple of nights during our honeymoon and enjoyed the Pineapple Express! Pretty house and surrounding. Albert gave us some recommendations for activities and food, which was very helpful!

Excellent location for a home base with lots of history and charm. It's easy to find, well appointed, clean, and the hosts are exceptional.

Great location gorgeous views very friendly host, great communication took the time to give us delicious fresh Kona coffee for a Christmas gift, greatly appreciated everything... house was great with all the amenities...

Our family’s stay at Liko Lehua Cottage was nothing short of amazing! The moment we arrived, we were swept away by the serene beauty of the Hapu‘u forest and the peaceful charm of Mauna Loa Estates. The cottage itself is immaculate, the thoughtful Hawaiian designs, spotless, felt filled with warmth and welcoming touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. We enjoyed coffee on the lanai surrounded by lush greenery. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and showed real care and aloha. Mahalo nui loa to our wonderful host, Shannon for sharing this beautiful retreat.

My husband & I enjoyed our stay here. Everything about our stay was PERFECT! The aesthetic, the surrounding, the atmosphere and vibe was outstanding! We only stayed for a night but waking up to the view of a rainforest was beautiful. The hot tub was amazing especially when used at night because the air was crisp and cold. Very relaxing and peaceful. 10/10 recommend to anyone who considers staying here. We will be back!

Absolute Gem! Extremely close to Volcano National Park (10 min), very private, great amenities (had everything you could possibly ask for, or need, and more), easily accessible, very clean, beautiful property…I would highly recommend The Tea House Cottage. Excellent find….Thank You 👍

Great place to stay! Everything was very clean and the amenities were appreciated. Caroline and Scott were responsive to any questions. Overall, very peaceful but not super far from coastal activities to make the travel time obnoxious. Will definitely strongly recommend to anyone visiting Kona.

Beautiful spot in the jungle near the volcano. Super private, jungle hottub was definitely the star of the stay. Communication was great.

The space is beautiful, airy, open. Outside is filled with flowers along the walkway and plumeria outside the front door. Downtown Hilo is within quick driving distance. This is an extraordinary listing and I will definitely try to return!

We had an outstanding time at Matt’s property and used it as a base for visiting Volcano National Park and Hilo. The property was beautiful and the surroundings were full of lush, native flora. Matt communicated well and gave great recommendations. Thank you for your hospitality, Matt!

Matt had very clear instructions and responded in a timely manner. Matt even sent a msg mid-stay to let us know the volcano was erupting and that we should head back to the park, which was a breeze since it’s less than 10 min away. We beat all the insane traffic trying to make it into the park to watch. The house itself is pretty private, blocked by lush trees on a very bumpy road. It’s rustic in the best way. The kitchen and bathroom had everything you need. The wood burning stove was a nice touch. Covered parking was great as it rained every day, especially in the evening. There’s not much around, so def plan ahead. My ONLY bit of small feedback is that in the instructions it says to bring a lighter and firewood, but there were already 4-5 lighters in the drawer and a lot of firewood in the carport. We also bought some other stuff that was already in the house. They provided lots of drinking water and coffee. And so many CDs and DVDs! Such a vibe

This is a literal hidden gem! Google maps took us to the end of the street but the entrance to the property was right next to it. Park on the street by the white garage doors and take the steps to the left up to the gated entrance. It is motion activated so you can see while you're entering the access code. You will feel completely secluded on this property and it was so relaxing and peaceful! The coqui frogs at night put us to sleep. The fragrant flowers surrounding the property were very pleasing. This cottage is in the middle of the three. There is a walkway that will take you to it but it goes in front of another cottage. We just walked straight and then cut across the grass to enter the cottage. It does require a lot of walking up and down steps on top of the long path to the home itself but the exercise was good for us all, especially eating all the ono food! It was a great trip home.

Our stay in this unique jungle hideaway was an absolute adventure! From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the sights and sounds of nature, with a wonderful outdoor camping feel enhanced by the fantastic indoor and outdoor fireplaces/firepits – perfect for cozy evenings. For those with a heart to explore, this location holds amazing secrets waiting to be discovered! We truly enjoyed uncovering the hidden gems this property had to offer. Being located just 15 minutes away from Kilauea Volcano made it incredibly convenient to witness the eruption. Seeing the volcano on Mother's Day was an awe-inspiring and unforgettable experience that was undoubtedly the highlight of our vacation. If you're looking for a truly special and adventurous escape surrounded by nature and with incredibly easy access to the wonders of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, this is the place to be. We left felling refreshed, amazed, and with memories that will last a lifetime.

Dianes place was exactly what we needed. It has a beautiful view from the lanai, the washer and dryer availability saved us packing more things and not having to pack wet clothes home. We picked our breakfast from the fruit trees on the property and ate the best Poke ever at Island Poke right at the end of the driveway. Diane was friendly and helpful and we had a winderful time on the island!

Hau’oli Place Tiki cottage is beautiful! A lot of love has gone into making it what it is and it shows. It’s extremely clean, comfortable and beautiful! Close to the Hawai’i Volcanoes park, this is a very peaceful and private space. You live in a beautiful cottage in the rainforest with all amenities. Like Big Island as a whole, Hau’oli Place has a lot of character. The host Mark is highly responsive, helpful and the other reason, why you should choose this place. I will be back!

We loved our stay at the cottage. A simple, historic-feeling, stress-free escape into a world far different from the normal daily grind. The chickens are wonderful (a few got quite familiar with us after a 10-day stay), the nightly frog symphony was very peaceful to us in its natural cadence, and the cottage was clean and easy feeling. The location was wonderful for jumping off into all sorts of big-island sight-seeing and activities. This was a trip I gave to my elderly mother and she could not have been happier. Thank you Lisa and Veltry!

Highly recommended! Private little cabin, felt super safe and right up the street of a Café.

We loved Fiddlehead house. It was the perfect location near Hawaii Volcanoes NP. Such a pretty and lovely house to stay in.

Laurie was very warm and welcoming. She responded quickly to all questions. Location is an easy drive to downtown Hilo.

We loved it. You are in a little piece of country next to a quiet neighborhood. Great location if you don't want the crowds of Kona. Black Rock pizza and The Theatry were great places to eat. Corrine has a guide book to the island that was indispensable. Loved the lanai and the view of the ocean. Would definitely recommend! Loved the coffee and fruits, although I had no idea what some of them were :).
