The host Ruth and her dog buddy were very welcoming and were the life of the property. The small little cottage was very nice and had everything a couple or 2 people would want. She had a lot of water activity supply for use. She also shared some amazing places to eat and to visit while on your trip.

Comfortable, friendly great location.

We took advantage of the nearby beaches and appreciated the use of the snorkeling gear and the beach equipment. We visited a few nearby coffee farms and a roaster. The house was nice and a great place to relax.

The property was great, and Ruth and Buddy (the dog) were wonderful hosts. The pool was nice, and the whole property is built to help you relax. I’d definitely stay there again.

Sweet Cottage

Beautiful cottage on a gorgeous property. I stayed here for 4 days and loved this place. It’s centrally located to Holualoa, Keauhou, Captain Cook and Kailua-Kona. Ruth and Jennifer have thought of everything for their guests, all amenities are in the suite. Loved my stay, would certainly return.

Great Place

My daughter and I had a great time. Two items: 1. hot tub listed in the description, but none was available 2. didn't know about the noise from the frogs (didn't bother me) but my daughter needed to get some ear plugs. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The host Ruth and her dog Buddy were very friendly and pleasant. Would stay there again.

Cozy getaway

We stayed at this cozy cottage for 4 nights. It is exactly as pictured. The weather was several degrees cooler than Kona, but still warm. The unit has louvered wooden blinds with screens, but no glass windows .We were surprised by the loud frog songs at night, bring earplugs!. The owner, Ruth, was delightful. We also enjoyed the fresh flower bouquet on the lanai. We'll be back.

Pleasant Abode

The accommodations were fitting for us. With the frogs singing to us at night made you feel like you were in the jungle. The place was clean and comfortable. The owner is super nice and provides beach equipment so when I stay here again I won't bring any of my stuff on the plane with me. Masks, snorkels (even the full face ones), fins, boogie boards, and chairs. I'm looking forward to being back. I hope the next time I visit the dates will be available.

Great cottage with a great host

We thoroughly enjoyed Ruth and Jennifer’s place. Ruth was a friendly host who thought of everything we could need to be comfortable. The place was beautifully decorated and very clean. The kitchenette had more appliances than we were expecting and we were happy to be able to make pizza in the air fryer. We couldn’t have asked for a better vrbo experience. The location was great for exploring the south end of the island. We found Two Step beach where the snorkelling was better than any snorkel excursion we’ve paid for in the past. Oh and of course Buddy, the dog, put this vacation stay over the top. We loved being greeted every day by this friendly boy!

Lovely Tranquil Beach Cottage

Stayed in this wonderful cottage full of character amongst the cool forest and beautiful grounds for 12 days. Ruth, the owner made sure there was everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. Well stocked kitchen to prepare home cooked meals to eat inside or on the patio. The outdoor space is very peaceful with the sounds of local birds and singing frogs (yes you will hear them at night). Close to beaches, shops, restaurants which are a short drive away. Beach chairs, snorkel equip and boogies boards available to use. My favourite was Buddy, the dog who came by to greet me each morning...such a sweetheart!! I truly enjoyed my holiday and hope to return soon! Thank you Ruth & Buddy!

The driveway is situated on a hill so it can be a challenge getting in and out of the driveway. We were almost run down a couple of times. The tree frogs and night animals are very loud so if you don't like night sounds you won't want to stay here, they are very loud. The location is decent for commuting to daily activities. House looks like pictures and Ruth and Buddy (her dog) will greet you when you arrive. Could use some trash bags as there were none there, just a grocery bag. She was responsive when we had to contact her and ask questions. Was a decent place to stay with basic amenities. The bed could use replacing.
