Jan 11, 2026 A great oceanfront cottage, perfect for a couple. Well appointed. A light sleeper may find the surf too noisy and the bed is very squeaky. Great deck and patio with a working grill. Snorkel and swim beach a short walk away. Watch the surfers from the deck! David P

Dec 23, 2025 one of the best We stayed 5 nights at this lovely waterfront cottage. It is truly one of the best locations you could ask for. Literally on the water. 4 minute walk to one of the best snorkeling spots. A great place to lock yourself away for a few days and unwind. Shane J

Dec 04, 2025 Fantastic location Fantastic location on the waters edge, not far from town of Kona. Lots of great coffee and food nearby. Easy walk to the beach and snorkelling to see tropical fish. So relaxing on the lanai, and to fall asleep to the waves crashing on the rocks below. Home was perfect for two people. Friendly geckos around the property. Ian V

Nov 25, 2025 breathtaking Sunsets on the deck are breathtaking! The active surf, the paddle boarders, the surfers, and the school of parrot fish hanging out just to the right of the deck provided endless entertainment. Blinn C

Nov 01, 2025 thank you for letting us stay! The view from this darling cottage has to be one of the most breathtaking and captivating that I have ever seen. The sunsets line up perfectly, the surfers are fun to watch, we could see the reef and fish in the water from the lanai. We even saw an eel that had been washed up and then swept back out with the waves much to my husband’s delight! Ah the waves crashing, and setup in the bedroom makes you feel like you are in an over the water bungalow. The full moon over the water in the early morning had me mesmerized as well. Fun, artsy, and vintage Hawaiian decor, and high end finishes and amenities made this feel truly special, thank you for letting us stay! Saira B

Jan 07, 2025 Would book again tomorrow if I could! We absolutely loved this little house - right on the beach, all you hear is the waves and perfect spot to see the sunset every night. Public beach for swimming if just a few feet away. Would book again tomorrow if I could! Annamaria M

Oct 23, 2024 Beautiful location right on the water with foamies to use on the break right outside the house. Close to town so can drive in but also feel removed from the bustle. Thank you! Anna H

Oct 01, 2024 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 Mike M

May 04, 2024 Over all a great place. Bed was firm and the light switches were "complicated", though everything is fairly well labeled. The view and the ocean sounds, along with a beach with in walking distance, are the reasons to stay here. Eric M
-
Feb 06, 2024 Gather's place is truly spectacular. Nothing can beat the view! Right on the beach and private! We get to see surfers all day, and beautiful sunsets top the view. The place was perfectly sized for our family of 3 and the location was perfect as well. Walkable to beaches and a short drive from many restaurants and shops at Kona. We'll surely want to stay here again when we visit the Big Island again! Narendra K

Jan 24, 2024 Being able to watch the surfers, and see whales just off shore at the same time, was fabulous. The Cottage itself is very well laid out and does not feel small. The outside space is very nice and it is all very private, even being right on Ali'i Drive. Kenji K

Jan 21, 2024 Adorable little cabin/cottage on the water! There was a large swell so we couldn't take advantage of the nearby by beach, but we got to appreciate the ocean from the lanai and loved it. Lauren F

Jul 03, 2023 We had a wonderful stay!! The sound of the ocean and views of the waves and sunset were so peaceful. There is also a beach right near the house that is walkable and open to the public! As it states in the listing, there is no AC, and it does get rather hot inside, but with all the fans, it airs out some. We highly recommend! Carly T

Jun 15, 2023 We stayed two weeks and already cannot wait to be back! Here are the details I shared in the other review: The Cottage is truly magical. The lanai makes it feel like you are living directly on the ocean. Leaving all the windows and doors open to hear the waves all night was powerful. It was almost like sleeping outside under the stars! The place is also walking distance to a sweet beach where the sea turtles greeting us. Another beach nearby was busy with snorkelers and surfers who were fun to watch from the lanai. The beach just down the way toward the village was fun for body surfing. And a quick drive into the village allows for lovely dinners every night. The Cottage also had plenty of goodies necessary for beach fun, snorkel gear and beach chairs. And the side yard feels lovely and private for sunbathing. We loved every minute and we will be back! Krista H

May 07, 2023 Fantastic and quiet location. Walkable. The kind of place to be away from tourist activities. It is as advertised on the ocean you can hear waves either on the deck or in the bedroom. Tim C

Apr 22, 2023 We enjoyed staying at this beautiful house! Location was amazing, down the street from a beach with great snorkeling, we were able to use the gear from the house and walk there, I went twice! A 10-15 minute drive into town. Easy marked spot for parking our rental car. The view was spectacular with great sunsets off the porch. Loved watching the surfers every day. Kitchen very well stocked, definitely the best I’ve seen. The waves break right on the rocks below the house and can be a little loud since you have to leave the window open for air, but the view is worth it! It was a clean and beautiful house, we loved it and would recommend! Storm M
