The Koko Cottage was a clean, comfortable and spacious place to stay for a few days. It provided a more private and nature-filled experience at a higher elevation yet in easy driving distance to the area sights and beaches. We visited the Volcanoes National Park and Hilo/Rainbow Falls (in one day), downtown Kona for delicious dinner and sunset at the Kona Inn Restaurant and local shops, a couple nearby beaches and Thunder Mountain Coffee Plantation during our stay. The responsive hosts Shelley and Luke have provided the necessities from a well stocked kitchen to beach gear, and then extras such as a welcome basket with local treats and first aid kit. We enjoyed our time here and highly recommend KoKo Cottage!
