Yes, we have 3 great oceanfront cottages and we’ve found that ‘ each one’ has its unique qualities that our guests love. They each have a great ocean view.

So close to the beach. Loved hearing the sound of the ocean and staying around the pretty foliage. Periodic rain made for some peaceful and energizing relaxation time. Will be recommending to family and friends that need a relaxing place to rest and rejuvenate.

Cute cottage right across from the ocean
Nice place, laid back feel,AC in the bedroom and good bed for a comfortable night sleep. Kehena black sand beach right across the road- you do have to climb down to it and trail is not well marked so ask anyone at the top how to get there.

Perfect Cottage
The cottage is perfect for a couple. We loved the size, the lanai overlooking the ocean was so relaxing. Close to nature and not touristy. A bit of a drive to town, but worth it.

Amen to that! This is a semi- remote location for those that do not want to be in a typical city. For those CC that really want to ‘ get away’, this may be a good choice. There is a market, Hawaiian Bar, deli within 4 miles for your convenience.

Kehena Delights
We were thrilled to have found this gem of a home at this dramatically scenic location. The photos really do not do it justice. Wish we could have stayed longer. It would have been helpful to know that there was a single burner hot plate, but we managed to plan food that would not require cooking! Mahalo!

Kehena Beach!
This was our second stay at Dolphin Cottage. Kehena Beach is the obvious first attraction, as its across the street. If you've never been to Kehena, it's worth a visit. Beautiful sunrise, constant waves (watch out for the intermittent big wave) and interesting people. If you want some quiet time, you can sit on the balcony of Dolphin and listen to the palms rustle in the breeze. Dolphin is a good central point to visit Hilo, Pahoa, and VNP. Recommend!

Yes, if you want to get away from tourist traps and cities, this is a semi- remote area where you can relax and enjoy ‘ real Hawaii’ and see the interesting people mentioned. So, if you want to experience ‘ something new and different’, try it. You may fall in love with the area and want to come back over and over again 🤟🏽🌴💕

Cute cottage across the street from beach. Quiet neighborhood. Full kitchen space but attention to no microwave or stove Drive to nearest store so I had bought groceries before arriving not knowing I would be unable to cook. Addition of at least a microwave would have made it perfect

Absolutely! If you are looking to ‘ get away ‘ from city life - come to beautiful Kehena Beach. It’s semi- remote but just close enough to fine restaurants and stores. If you love nature and natural beauty - this is a place that you will never forget and it will call you back. .

Mixed stay
This is on the rainy side of the island. It rained every day. There was discarded trash in the car park - old clothes and a spray bottle, a junk food wrapper under the stairs. Windows were filthy. Screens so covered with dust I could smell it when the breeze blew through them. I cleaned a few screens to fix that. That water tasted terrible. Used botted water after the first taste. A Britta pitcher would be a good cheap fix. The place has good potential. A black sand beach is across the road. A steep climb but doable. But better attention to cleaning is needed.
Aufenthalt von 4 Nächten im Februar 2022
Antwort von VrboOwner am 11. Feb. 2022
The last guest left their clothes near the end of the wall and we thought that they would pick them up so we left the clothes for them to pick up since they were locals. We have talked to the cleaner about the windows. There is a Britta pitcher w/ filter in the fridge. We have extras on hand but the guest never notified us.

Hawaii weekend
Hosts made checking super easy. Unit was exactly as described. Right across the street from a beautiful black sand beach. Climb down to the beach was challenging, but well worth it. Found out that it is a "clothes optional " beach on the weekends. Went to weekend farmers market just down the road on Saturday. Grocery store in Pahoa was very convenient. Would recommend this place to all.

Perfect Location for Kehena Beach
We can't say enough good things about this property. The rates were very reasonable and the location perfect. It was exactly what we were looking for and gave us easy, hassle-free access to Kehena Beach, which was our favorite on the island. The lanai was also a perfect place to relax after being at the beach. It is an easy 20 minute drive to Pahao for restaurants, with a standout being Pele's Kitchen for some of the best breakfasts that we had during our stay. Andre was a pleasure to work with and we would definitely stay at the Dolphin Cottage again.

Yes, this cute cottage is located in a semi- remote but beautiful coastal Hawaiian community. The nearest store w/ deli and Hawaiian Bar is just 3.4 miles down our same road. Old Pahoa Town is just up the hill 16 miles and they have a brand new shopping center w/ McDonlads, Pizza Hut, Popeyes, Thai Food, Malama Super Market and many others. Most guests just live this area but if you need to be in the city - this isn’t for you.

Off the beaten path
Great cabins in a beautiful area that is pretty remote and away from most tourists. Might not be for everyone, the beach trail is steep and there are not many restaurants or bars close by. The beach is clothing optional and you need to be a good swimmer to deal with the waves, but it is beautiful and I wish I had more time to just spend a day relaxing there at the beach. My older kids 17&20 loved it. Host were great!

Yes, it’s a beautiful area and while the trail is steep, I saw an older lady w/ a cane come up the trail. This beach is very popular for young and mature guests. There is another beach and warm pond w/ very easy access just down our road. The nearest bar, store and deli is 3.5 miles away. Many great restaurants in Pahoa 16 miles up the hill.

Our stay at the Dolphin Cottage was just what we needed. It’s location provided a beautiful place away from the typical resort.

A peaceful place to relax and enjoy a beautiful part of the Big Island. We will return!

Can't wait to go back!
The Dolphin is a cute little cottage that shares the same parking area with two other cottages. It has one bedroom, a living/dining area, and a small kitchenette with a microwave and full-sized refrigerator. It has a beautiful lanai with a wonderful direct view to the ocean. There is internet service and laundry is on-site. The Kehena Beach area is filled with friendly neighbors. Just down the road is a small grocery store. On Wednesday nights, near the grocery store, they have a live band, drinks, food vendors, and people selling jewelry, clothing, gifts and crafts. Andre was friendly and helpful. Everything was perfect, so we didn't really need anything, but it was nice that he was accessible and we could ask him questions about the nearby volcano. There are two black sand beaches in the area. The one across the street is clothing optional. The other one is just down the road (the opposite direction of the grocery store). It is a family-friendly beach, newly-formed from the fissures that erupted just a couple years ago. If you are looking for an out-of-the-way place, which makes it relaxing and easy to unwind, yet close to the volcano and beaches, this is your place! We would definitely stay here again, and are looking forward to the time we can come back!

Beautiful cottage by a beach with character
Cottage was nice with a super nice lanai. My husband and I stayed there with our one year old and she loved the lanai. actually had a bit of a view and was an easy walk across the street to vicinity or parking lot to get nice sunrise and walk down path to beach which in the morning has locals fishing and afternoon (over holiday it was insanely busy) bunch of naked people. Down the road are some Nice tide pools and the warm pool was amazing for families. Only complaint was bed was very soft for us but that’s all a personal choice.
