Description

New cottage in a beautiful tropical setting surrounded by palm trees, hawaiian flowers, fruit trees and large ferns of many varieties. We are surrounded in lush tropics, with birds and the sounds of the night and the dew in the morning.

Centrally located within 20-30 minutes from historic Hilo town, waterfalls, hot ponds, Volcano's National Park, and flowing lava, how hot is that!

Then, how cool is this! This winter there's lots of snow on Mauna Kea, largest mountain on earth from bottom of sea to top, at over 14,000 ft above sea level, so bring your snowboard! International Observatories on top, some with tours.

Amenities on property include: 2-person kayak, mountain bikes, snorkel gear, beach chairs, tennis rackets, boogie boards ping-pong table.

Kitchen is fully stocked with all new appliances including full size fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, cook top, crock pot, even a waffle maker.

Shower is surrounded in bamboo and wild ginger and is very private. Shower curtain for those just beginning to seek adventure in the outdoors, othewise our return guests say it is their favorite part of the cottage. Check out our reviews.

Star gaze from bed in the loft across 10' of glass windows or relax on memory foam futon bed on the lower level.

The University of Hawaii Hilo Astronomy Center offers exhibits and shows that could fill an entire day. The Tsunami museum tells all about Hilo, how it was affected by tsunamis and how it was restored to what it is now.

Hike through lava tubes big enough for a bus, check out the steam vents as natural saunas, see ancient petroglyphs, snorkel over colorful live coral reefs, swim with giant sea turtles and schools of tropical fish, see lava pour into the ocean as it creates new land.

There are great mountain bike and hiking trails. Did I mention the Volcano National Park? The visitors center also has a great exhibit of the wildlife and history of Hawaii including a theater with hourly shows of the same.

Then a short drive to the Kileaua gift shop with a cafeteria and restaurant overlooking the huge caldera as steam rises from many spots within, which also can be hiked into and across.

You'll love strolling through historic Hilo Town, as it's the origin of the Hawaiian culture. This quaint, turn of the century town with it's Victorian and plantation style architecture will charm you with it's shops, stores, art studios, and restaurants.

One of the biggest Farmers Markets is there in old town with the best and most diverse selection of produce and flowers from local farmers you can imagine, as well as many artisans and merchants selling their goods in the many booths.

As I mentioned, our warm, clean, cozy garden cottage couldn't be more centrally located from all these activities and sites, this is a great place for your Hawaiian home base.

We can offer guided tours, surf lessons, mountain bike excursions, as well as just point you in the right direction. Call us with any questions and ask about our special rates for seniors.

About the Owner

My wife, Barbara and I, Michael, are generally very active. We love to hike and bike right here from home as well as surf, swim, and snorkel in the warm waters near by. I'm an artistic, creative carpenter/builder that built our home here in '05 and recently finished building the cottage on the same 3 acres (far enough apart to maintain mutual privacy). Barbara is a waitress at the best restaurant in the area). Pineapples Island Cuisine, in downtown Hilo. We love what we do, and are thankful to have a piece of paradise. Come experience old Hawaii, you won't want to leave. Barbara Genaro purchased this Cottage in 2009

Guest Reviews

Jungle Paradise

CARL C.

Mike and Barbara are great hosts. They were helpful with information and the things we needed. Their place is quiet and private with plenty of vegetation to make you feel you are in the jungle. It was a great change of pace for a few days after being in the hustle and bustle of down town Kona.
