We keep a book in the house to capture customers comments that are made about our place and how we can improve our accommodations. It is FULL of messages just like this! 1) Susan And Andre...We had a wonderful time here! The patio overlooks the ocean and we saw whales jumping and crashing right in front of us! The cottage is located on the beautifully lush Red Road and is very convenient to the cool town of Pahoa and also a short drive to Hilo. There is an awesome black sand beach directly across from the cottage and a farmers market at the end of the road (west end I believe) that was one of my favorite activities. Local vendors, music, food, dancing - farmers market was definitely a highlight. We would absolutely stay here again. 2) Thank You so much, the past 3 nights in the cottage have been FANTASTIC! I realy look forward to coming back to visit. 3) Very nice cottage! We really enjoyed! Two thumbs up! We will recommend this place for sure! The Whale House is located in one of the most beautiful places on earth - Kehena Beach, on The Big Island of Hawaii. There are actually 4-5 black sand beaches in the area to chose from.

It was on the rainforest side, which gave us a wonderful "off the beaten path" experience and It was directly across from kahena beach, which is a nude beach so be mindful of that before bringing your kids and making the nude people uncomfortable ( watched this happen).

Cottage is comfortable for two, and we appreciated the AC in the bedroom. Will definitely be coming back again and again. Other folks mentioned the naturist aspect of the beach, and although true, that didn’t bother us in the least. Truly one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. The climb down is a bit daunting the first time, but no big deal once we got the hang of it. ##### Kerry Q. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rose N. Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great little bungalow tucked away in paradise. Check-in was easy, kitchen supplies were sufficient for the two of us and wifi was more than sufficient. It’s “off the beaten path”, but if you want a touch of tranquil Hawaii, this place will transport you there ##### Rose N. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heath T.

The location is absolutely beautiful and the area was very quiet. The unit had basic kitchen supplies but they were very limited. The in bedroom air was great and the bed was very comfortable. The beach across the street was definitely one of our favorite spots to go and relax. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit and recommend it to anyone going to the Big Island. ##### Jennifer B.

Looks recently renovated.If I stay in the area again, would definitely consider renting again. Would also consider other cottages on the property because I think they might have better views from balcony ##### Bob T.
