My wife and I stayed at the Cottage at the Ocean during our trip to Big Island. We had a really great time. We really loved the way that the place is secluded and tucked away from a lot of activity, but close enough to Pahoa in case we wanted to have a nice meal (about 10-15 mins. away by car). Our favorite part about the place is that the backyard is literally lava rocks that you can walk over to get an amazing view of the ocean - something we did every morning during our stay. Rachel was super helpful and responsive and we couldn't recommend her place enough. We'd definitely stay again on our next trip to Big Island.
