Step onto the Big Island of Hawaii in this home that offers a small footprint on the land. "Cottage With A View" is a perfect place to relax and listen to the silence. Away from the city lights, there are beautiful sunsets, beaches to explore, and a nighttime sky that makes you feel like you can reach up and touch the stars.
Electricity comes from the solar collectors and this all solar home allows relaxation, without a television or phone, in a smoke-free environment to truly rejuvenate oneself. Water is collected from the roof and heated by the sun. You may even choose to cook using the direct sunlight captured with a Solar Sun oven.
Located near the last remaining Hawaiian fishing village of Miloli’i, you will be 45 minutes south of Kailua-Kona off Highway #11. With 180 degree views of the Ocean, you are a short walk to some of the best snorkeling on the island. There are two bedrooms here and if you need even more space you can also rent "The Jewel" which is right next door. The lanai expands your living area and allows breathtaking views of the water and night sky, away from the noise and lights of traditional tourists.
Five miles down the hill from the highway, "Cottage with a View" is located between Kona and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Trips to Kona or Hilo for sightseeing and shopping are easily done in a day. With the South Kona Green Market selling "From the land...by our hand" local produce in Captain Cook each Sunday and Heidi’s near the turn off at the top of the hill selling local goods three days a week, you can find many treats of the Island without the need to venture too far. Many people have enjoyed a hike, fishing, sightseeing, swimming, snorkeling, diving, boating, sailing, shelling, star gazing, or simply resetting and refreshing themselves by reading, writing, or doing their favorite art and craft project.
Whale Season is from December to April and you may see spinner dolphins, monk seals, or turtles any time of the year. All you need is groceries and your bathing suit to start a wonderful vacation!
