Secluded ~ Centrally Located ~ Huge Lanai ~ Onsite Owner

Welcome to your ideal getaway, a private studio cottage nestled at the back of a one-acre property, offering you a unique combination of seclusion and centrality. Surrounded by lush vegetation, you'll feel immersed in a tropical paradise with the ambiance reminiscent of a jungle retreat!

This charming accommodation features vaulted wood ceilings adorned with exposed beams, complemented by optional dim mood lighting for an inviting atmosphere. Step outside to discover a spacious 384 sqft lanai that serves as your personal oasis, surrounded by tranquil garden views that provide both peace and privacy. The lanai is equipped with a hammock for two (up to 500 lbs.), a portable gas BBQ grill for your outdoor cooking adventures, comfortable patio furniture sheltered by a mosquito net umbrella, and a variety of amenities including a wheeled cooler, beach mats, towels, snorkels and masks, beach chairs, boogie boards, large beach umbrellas, and additional umbrellas for those rainy days.

The lanai extends eight feet wide around two sides of the cottage, effectively enhancing your living space. A four-foot roof overhang ensures you can enjoy fresh air even on drizzly days. Immerse yourself in the sounds of nature while sipping tea or coffee, and listen to the melody of Hawaiian doves, coqui frogs, crickets, birds, and other wildlife surrounding you. With small hobby farms nearby, you're likely to hear dogs, ducks, goats, and of course, the ever-present roosters. If you're concerned about noise, two fans are provided to help muffle any disturbances, alongside a sound machine featuring ten relaxing scenarios.

Accommodating up to two guests, the interior offers a cozy queen-size bed set for comfort, enhanced by a medium firmness design with a center reinforcement for superb back support, plus a foam/memory foam pad and plush mattress cover. While there is no A/C, two standing fans and a ceiling fan ensure you remain cool.

For your entertainment needs, Dish satellite TV and internet access are included, featuring a 39" LED/HDTV with 120 channels for your viewing pleasure. The well-equipped full kitchen boasts a gas stove, oven, refrigerator, and extensive cookware including pots, pans, a wok, utensils, a rice maker, microwave, crock pot, coffee maker with Starbucks coffee, blender, toaster, and a generous selection of spices. You'll have everything you need with a full service for four, including dinnerware and drinkware.

The bathroom provides a shower stall, pedestal sink, and ample linens including towels, hand towels, and washcloths, as well as complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Enjoy continuous hot water with our tankless hot water system, ensuring a perfect shower every time. Additionally, the use of a washer and dryer located in the main house carport storage is available, complete with laundry soap, bleach, and dryer sheets.

To enhance your adventure, you’ll receive a copy of the book "Hawaii: The Big Island Revealed," guiding you through must-see hidden gems and local attractions. Despite its central location to Hilo, Volcano Park, and the captivating coastlines of lower Puna, navigating the BIG ISLAND means embracing longer drives. However, the scenic rural highways make travel enjoyable, so you’ll acclimate quickly!

Reaching this serene hideaway is a breeze, with paved roads leading you straight to your destination. We eagerly await your arrival and look forward to making your stay unforgettable. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out via email.
