The Cottage at the Ocean is a nice cozy and peaceful retreat. The cottage is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature that is so close by. Explore the nearby lava fields, the ocean, or the lush tropical forests. The kitchen is well stocked and even has a juicer, blender and a dehydrator. The list of nearby activities was great. Pahoa is about 9 miles away and has a nice natural foods store and some nice restuarants.
