We stayed at the Bali Cottage for a week of relaxation and could not have been happier. The space is as wonderful as come across in the many pictures. Renters have two private floors to themselves to unwind. The bottom floor features a kitchen and den area that is completely open space. The grounds also offer several private spaces to unwind on benches, in the hammock or hot tub in the very lush grounds that include banana, coconut and mango trees.

Upstairs is a very comfortable bed and a bathroom including a great shower to wash away the sand you may have on your from going to the many beaches nearby. Iliahi and Tim were fantastic and extremely generous hosts. We always felt that we had our privacy, but they would also stop by with fruits from their garden or a drink.

We aslo loved this area of the Big Island. It is not filled with tourists or expensive restaurants. Rather, it is in close proximity to several amazing beaches, the volcano, wonderful snorkeling and soaking pools and a quick drive to the glitzier Kona coast.
