Cottages in Makalawena

"Great location if you're not the resort type, which we aren't. Up the hill from Kona but easily accessible with a car, short 10 minute drive away. Frogs, pheasants, and other birds abound on the property. Fast and easy communication with the host. Has all the amenities of home. Would definitely stay again."

"Wonderful property with all the amenities and very safe. I would definitely stay again. "

The owner, Andrew, is nearby and always available for suggestions or questions about the area. I highly recommend staying here."

"Loved this place - was quiet, secluded, and safe, and nearly 3000' above Kona. Good communication - would definitely stay here again. Looks for the signs to Ohia Rental! "

"We had a wonderful stay in April. The onsite property manager is a delight to chat with, and the apartment was clean, comfortable, and has everything we could need from appliances to beach equipment. We look forward to staying again!"

"Lovely place to stay. 1 really tall bed was an adventure to jump into but was fun being so high up off of the ground. The home was really clean and it was a really nice touch with the gift pack. The balcony is really lovely spot early mornings and evenings to chill out on too. "

"The property is beautiful and the hostess is extraordinarily attentive to detail."

"Great communication, clean and organized home with the things needed to enjoy Hawaii."

"My husband and I stayed here as I had a conference at a nearby hotel. Our host Katie was very easy to communicate with and gave us great recommendations. The area was beautiful and in a safe neighborhood. Katie let us borrow beach towels, snorkel gear and other things which helped us a lot in our adventures. Definitely would recommend staying here!"
