Sweet retreat close to the ocean. Where natures sights and sounds delight soul.

GE-186-363-6992-01 TAT186-363-6992-01This colorful 2 bedroom 2 bath home is Hosted from the front cottage. Close to all the fun Puna has to offer. The quiet setting has privacy with room for family & friends. Let the sound of the waves rock you to sleep. Maybe even hear the whales. Gardenias fill the garden with a wonderful aroma. Colorful tropical plants sway in the breeze, creating a delightful view from the fully screened lanai. The house is set up to sleep two couples with new queen size beds that connect by the lanai. Both rooms exactly the same except color schemes. All linens are new and are the appropriate weight for the climate for a comfortable stay.The house is super cute in a simple way .The full kitchen allows for home cooked meals.
Take your coffee and morning walk to the cliffs or Kahakai Park with lots of spots for fishing or watching the waves break.
Borrow the snorkel gear and visit Kapoho for the best snorkeling on the island.
Enjoy the restaurants in Pahoa. We had the best meals at Nings and Kaleos. Truly delicious. There really is something for every taste and budget. THE FARMERS MARKETS are amazing. Wednesdays is Hilo or Uncle Roberts in Kalapana. Saturday Hilo. Sunday Maku'u on the road to Hilo. Plus Keauu has one open everyday! There is so much to enjoy you'll have to come back many times to discover it all!

Wonderful Stay at Sweet Retreat

Sue was a fabulous and communicative host. Perfect location to spend time on the eastern side of the island good midpoint between Volcanoes National Park and Hilo. The screened lanai which we called ‘The Jungle Room’ was a highlight, big comfortable sitting area which is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee and a good book while listening to early morning or evening rainstorms and birds. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood where Nene’s roam free this is a great home based to go explore the island and come home to relax.

Cute, quirky place! Close to shoreline.

Fun place that slept 6 of us well! There is a man who lives in a small cabin/house on front of property that we were unaware of, but he was friendly and gave us good ideas for local sites.

Comfortable Stay

We have a very comfortable stay. The beds were very comfortable and the living area was generous and private with a real rainforest feel. The kitchen was very well supplied including very good coffee. There were roosters crowing in the middle of the night, but we were well prepared with earplugs since we had experienced coqui frogs on this side of the island in the past, but they weren’t an issue here. Overall, it was a great place to stay.

Cute tropical cottage.

Rustic cottage, tropical setting. Just under an hour to volcano national park and close to restaurants in Pahoa. Overall very nice stay, but may want to close the windows at night and run the fan or the roosters will wake you very early. Also the lock box did not work so never had a key to lock/unlock property.

Wonderful retreat

I wish I had more days. Loved the decor. Loved the location. Walking distance to the shore. Easy access to the volcano. Would love to return and stay a week. Funny bit of trivia. A friend from home is building his retirement home in that neighborhood so we had a lot of inside tips
