The Cottage: Oceanfront Honeymoon Retreat w/Gorgeous Views, By Kahalu'u Beaches

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

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.

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.

Ocean front gem!!

We loved staying at this cottage. The lanai hangs right over the ocean - listening the the crashing waves and seeing the beautiful sunsets every night. Our favorite part was watching the surfers out in the bay and walking right the best snorkel beach on the island.

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.

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.

Perfect place to kick back and feel at home

The checkin process was exchanging COVID vaccination information and getting the key code. Once I we unpacked and got groceries we felt like we were at home. The place was clean, safe and private. The TV broke and was replaced in less than 24 hours ! Great trip ! First in 1.5 years and would do it again in a heartbeat. The waves lulled us to sleep every night.

We found the Cottage to be perfect for our needs. Right on the ocean adjacient to the best surfing beach in Kona so we could be entertained anytime of the day. The Cottage itself was a great location on Alii Drive. Close enough to Kona Town but far enough away to be peaceful. We would recommend the Cottage. Bob & Kori

Paradise on the surf lagoon

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What can I say, this place is the PERFECT oceanside beach house for a visit to the Kona area! We had never been to Hawaii before so felt blind to our choice when selecting a place to stay, but we feel like we could not have picked a better spot. This house is accessible, charming, breezy and within walking distance to an amazing beach and snorkel spot. We would wake each morning, brew local coffee and watch the waves crash on the rocks below our deck as the morning surfers came in for their early sessions. It was perfect. It always felt like home after a long day exploring the island and we can't wait to return! Also, the staff at Boundless Hawaii were an incredible help whenever we had a question leading up to the trip. I can not recommend this house enough!

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!

Tropical cottage life on the ocean

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's easy to drive by but easy to find. A fenced and private cottage right on the water. Parking was easy just outside the fence and there was never an issue with the one or two locals who occassionally walked by the car and then slipped through the vegetation between the properties to go surfing. The sound of the surf was terrific and evry morning we awoke with a view over the ocean.Home was a perfect size for a couple. Kitchen had everything you need and there was a functional propane BBQ with lots of gas. Never got to use fire pit but looks like it would be a fun evening hangout with friends. Its tropical so expect a few small bugs but just keep screen doors closed. Few minor maintenance issues but you will get that located right in the spray zone - especially when the ocean gets lively. Easy ok snorkelling and beach entry less than 100m. At this time of year easy to cool home down with breezes from all directions but don't expect bone chilling AC. Great location and mangement support.

All about Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: With this property, it's all about location, location, location. Perfect spot to watch the waves, close to snorkelling, surfing, etc. Stayed at the property for 35 nights in April/May 2018. We stayed at the Cottage a number of years ago and were pleased to see some of the more recent "upgrades". Still some work to be done however before it lives up to the billing of "oceanfront opulence". Management company was very responsive and have a very automated/slick process for checkin, checkout etc. When we arrived, we noticed a couple items that required repair and they sent their maintenance person out almost immediately to take care of the issues. The only item that we were disappointed in is that the homes on both sides are undergoing extensive renovations and we were unaware until we arrived that we would be living with the construction noise (Boundless Hawaii claimed to be "unaware"). Although only one of the two projects was active while we were there, if you are planning on staying, you should be aware that either could be going at full blast with no notice to (or by) the management company.

Reviewer Comments: Maybe you have to value intimacy and simplicity as much as we, love the sound of ocean waves 24/7, can live simply with fans rather than A/C, ignore even the amenities like TV, etc., that were provided, and be content to watch the waves, the clouds, and the surfers as much as we to fully appreciate this cottage. I can only say that we certainly did! Congratulations to the designer who built the house, the tasteful decor provided by the owner, appreciation to the property manager who maintains the property and appliances, and all the people of Hawaii whose 'aloha' spirit was personified in each person we met. Mahalo!! P.S. I forgot to mention the efficiency of the pest control company, but most of the tropical pests you expect were already dead when we met!

great vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was lovely and very convent for getting around. I went walking over to the bay park every morning to go for a snorkel ( only 4 houses down) and it was truly lovely. It was charmingly decorated,with a huge cal king bed that was super comfortable and a well supplied kitchen. The freezer ice maker worked great, I loved that there was a vita-mixer and coffee grinder so I could enjoy the fruits of the island. Loved the two person shower as well. The views are beautiful and I really enjoyed watching the surfers and yellow tang right from the deck or the lanai. I do have to mention that it is loud with the waves pounding on the rocks and hot and humid as the black lava rocks are heated by the sun all day and radiate back heat and moisture all night long. I hate a.c. but with the loud surf, heat and humidity it would be a great option to be able to close the doors and have air flow at night. It was an extra nice feature to find that the house had snorkel gear, two foam surfboards, beach chairs, towels, bags and a cooler for your use.
