Romantic Sea Side Cottage known as "POI*13"

This romantic seaside cottage will steal your heart. Positioned in the small village of Milolii, (the LAST fishing village in Hawaii) in Captain Cook on The Big Island.
Boasting superior views of the sea just a stone's throw away from the ocean. This cottage sits on 1/3 of an acre filled will lush tropical vegetation. There are 4 different types of mature mango trees as well as varied fragrant plumeria to list just some of the lush landscaping for year-round enjoyment. Multiple seating, lounging, and amenities inside and out.
Take a short walk from the property to Da' Rock where you can find rock access to some of the best snorkeling on the island. Swimming with wild happy spinner dolphins from Da' Rock.
You can stay in hotel filled spaces, go out to eat for each meal, and hope to get a vacant spot on the beach for your vacation, or you can enjoy an entire home, views of the water from all over the house, private gardens, hammocks, gas BBQ, snorkel gear, coolers beach towels, movies, drinking water in a chilled cooler, even surfboards for use. The privacy of an entire home often less expensive per night, and more luxurious than a one-room hotel with double beds!
If you want to experience Hawaii in an unpackaged way with MORE of the home benefits than are available with hotel accommodations, this place may just be for you!
The kitchen is fully equipped for even holiday style cooking including but not limited to specialty items like Vitamix, crockpot, baking dishes, rice maker, air popcorn maker, coffee grinder (in case you pick up some local coffee), coffee maker as well as french press, mixer, bowls, toaster, teapot, water cooler with instant hot water as well.
*We even provide fresh drinking water and reusable travel water jugs!
Feel like you're at home in a friend's place on the beach, or you've located the most romantic, well-planned sanctuary on the Big Islands!
A great home base for exploration of the south side of the island. Sights like Green Sand beach, Punaluu beach, Southpoint, Hookena, Oceanview Saturday swap meet, possibly a trip into Naalehu to see the forest-like trees, grab the best malasada at the famous Punaluu bakery also shops at the Wednesday farmers market downtown.
Not a place limited to showers and sleeping like a hotel, feel like you're a part of Hawaii.
Please Note: the nightlife in Milolii has amazing starry nights without light/sound pollution. If you are looking for entertainment other than the show nature is putting on this location may be too remote for you.
Remember even though it's an island there are more diversity, varied environments, and amazing things to see than it's nearly impossible to get to it all.
Drive around, enjoy the changing views, experience the aloha that makes this island so magical!
*The owners occupy and live in the home, but will not be there during your stay.*

Beautiful and quiet location away from the crowds. Centrally located between Volcano and Kona allowing exploring both directions with our oasis to rest and rejuvenate. The last 3 miles of winding road is not for the faint of heart but the view is completely worth it.

Miloli'i, far south, rustic and relaxed. Great, but not for everyone.
We really enjoyed our stay, the property manager is awesome, and the place is exactly what it says it is, but we are not the typical travelers. Location: This is near the fishing village of Miloli'i near the very southern tip of the west coast. Nearest "town" is Oceanview. Getting in and out involves driving a very steep and windy road, taking about 20 minutes each way at 15mph. It is almost exactly 1/2 way between the touristy "downtown" and the Volcano national park, about 1.5 hours to each. Speed limits on Hawaii are very low, and most roads one lane each way, with very limited places for passing, often stuck behind someone going slower than limit. Waze generally estimates the time accurately to within 5 minutes. Do the check before leaving, on wifi, because cell coverage is very spotty. Property: really nice place, great furniture, layout, decor, art, amenities. Open plan, lots of light, all the comforts and tools of home, except no AC. Plenty of fans and ventilation. Lots of room. Room for a large party using the couches, beds, and hammock. Two caveats: Not much privacy. The bedroom does close, but any noise will be heard throughout the house. Also, the neighbor to the south is really close, and with windows open you can hear them (and presume they you). Mosquitoes everywhere on Island, so use OFF. The area: Rustic. Local snorkeling not for beginners. Best beaches are Black Pebbles and 2 Step, both north on main road, about 45 min away. Key is Relaxation.

Wonderful 12th anniversary trip
This romantic seaside cottage lived up to it's claims. We loved the view, the art, the garden, and the lanai! Its well stocked with beach stuff and day trip supplies as well as games, books and movies. It's perfectly situated between great beaches on the kona side and the volcano park on the hilo side.

Sleep on a lava bed!
Comfortable nice quasi-off-the-grid home that enjoys sweeping views because the town is on top of a prior lava flow. I’d want other guests to know that it’s not close to anything but if you’ve got time to explore the island then you’re not particularly far from sights like volcano park either. It’s a quiet base to work from. There is a safer Miloii beach park 5 min drive away if “da rock” is just for confident swimmers. The gear cache (goggles kick boards chairs etc) was really appreciated! We loved kahalu u beach best. Amazing and easy for beginners

Just okay
Had trouble with the electronic door lock which only worked intermittently. Never heard back from the owner about that. And the clothes dryer didn't work. Otherwise our stay was just okay. The house was well stocked with kitchen and bath essentials.

Top Notch Beach Rental
Our family of three adults enjoyed the homey accommodation this quaint beach rental offered us. Comfortable beds, full functioning kitchen, huge screened in lanai to relax and enjoy the sunsets and listen to the crashing waves. It was the perfect place for our getaway to the Hawaiian Islands!

We loved the house. Wish I would have looked at how far away it was from everything. The rain water catchment system was different but worked just fine. Next time I’ll look for a rental with washer and dryer.
