Surrounded by thick vegetation, you feel like you're in the jungle! Vaulted wood ceilings with exposed beams and optional dim mood lighting are two wonderful features. Garden views surround from the 384sqft. lanai, giving you peace and privacy. Included on the lanai is a hammock for 2 (up to 450 lbs.), a portable gas BBQ grill, patio furniture with mosquito net umbrella cover, wheeled cooler, beach towels, snorkels and masks, beach chairs, 2 boogie boards, large beach umbrella and 2 large umbrellas for rainy days. The lanai is 8 feet wide and runs along two sides of the cottage, extending the living space. A roof overhang of 4 feet protects the lanai on rainy days so you can still enjoy being outside without getting wet. Listen to the roosters, Hawaiian doves and other sounds of nature as you relax with your tea or coffee. There are many sounds of nature all around us, primarily Hawaiian dove, coqui frogs at night, crickets, birds, and other frogs. We have small hobby farms on each side of us, so you will also hear their dogs, ducks, goats, chickens and roosters. I realize roosters can be very annoying if you are not used to them, so I have two fans in the unit that can be used to help muffle the sounds. There is also a sound machine with 10 different sound scenarios that is very effective in covering the roosters crowing. Roosters are very common throughout the Puna district - I've even heard them inside the Hilo airport post office! If roosters are a concern you want to avoid, be sure to ask your potential hosts about their own or neighboring roosters. Inside sleeps 2 with a queen-size bed. The queen bed is medium firmness with a center reinforcement for back support and plush mattress cover for added comfort. There is no A/C, however, there are two stand fans and a ceiling fan to help keep cool. Dish satellite TV and internet are included. The TV is a 39" LED/HDTV with 120 channels. Full kitchen with gas stove, oven, refrigerator. It is fully stocked with pots, pans and wok, utensils for eating and cooking, rice maker, microwave, crock pot, coffee maker and Starbucks coffee, blender, 4-slot toaster, 25 spices, and purified water dispenser. Dishes are a service for 4, including plates, bowls, wooden salad bowls, large coffee mugs, glasses, wine glasses, shot glass, and plastic cups. The bathroom has a shower stall, pedestal sink, laundry basket, plenty of towels, hand towels and wash cloths. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are also provided. Our property also features tankless hot water heaters, so you will not run out of hot water. You are welcome to use our washer and dryer located in the main house carport storage. Laundry soap, bleach, and dryer sheets are provided as well. We provide the book "Hawaii: The Big Island Revealed" so you don't miss any off-the-beaten-path places of interest. Although our location is central to Hilo, the Volcano Park and the coastlines of lower Puna, this is the BIG ISLAND - it is not The Island of Convenience, lol. In other words, there is no getting out of long drives no matter where you stay. Getting here is super easy, and on paved roads the whole way. We look forward to seeing you! Please email me if you have any questions or concerns that I may not have addressed here. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a carport ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Memory foam mattress ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Furnished lanai - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: No smoking allowed anywhere on the property. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bodyboard - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 784 square feet - Water dispenser ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33500000/33497400/33497363/47465967.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tropical Studio Apartment!

Great location to visit Volcano National Park (45 min drive). We did night viewing to see active lava flow from Kilauea caldera and wanted place close by to shorten drive after long day. Bonus that unit is less than 2 miles from Puna Trail Trailhead which we did 6 mile hike next morning. We had a great nights sleep! ##### Clark A.

Mar 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming and really special Karla’s cottage is one of the most well-appointed rentals you will find. She has gone above and beyond to provide everything you may need and then some (wine, chocolates, eggs, butter, etc). The property is close enough to serve as a ‘home base’ for exploring everything on this side of the island but remote enough to rest and recharge in a secluded location. Recommend without hesitation! ##### Arceli (Sal) S.

The VRBO website gives a very accurate depiction of the property. In person it is as charming as the pictures. It is clean, well designed, attractively decorated, and well provisioned. It's a wonderful home away from home. The host has been in business since 1915. Her considerable experience is reflected in the well thought out provision and design of the cottage. This all results in a comfortable relaxed vacation experience. We would do it again. ##### Clyde J. Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Isabelle Aug 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great little house next to the owner's house. Not a lot of space but cozy. Owner is easy to reach and answers questions quickly. Warm welcome. However the location is not that convenient as it is a good 25 min from Hilo, and the roosters and dogs of the neighborhood are very noisy at night... ##### Isabelle Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kari G.

She showed us around the beautiful house and had chilled wine and chocolates waiting for us. The house was clean and super cute! It has a hammock and an enclosed dining room out on the deck. She also has boogie boards and snorkels, towels, and a cooler. There’s a full kitchen cute living room and a comfy bed. I would rent this house over and over again. ##### Kari G.
