Description
Our Dolphin Oceanfront cottage is located in a remote area on The Big Island of Hawaii known as Kehena Beach.
The Dolphin ocean front cottage is across the street from Kehena Beach in one of the most beautiful places on the planet - the famous 'Red Road' in Puna.
It is in a prime location - 10 minutes from the active Kalapana lava flow and < 1 hr to Volcanoes National Park - home of Kilauea and the periodic lava flows just a short distance from us. There are also Hawaiian jungles, tropical rain forests, beautiful coastal views, geo-thermically heated ponds, snorkeling, whale watching w/ dolphins that migrate to the warm Hawaiian waters from Alaska. You can often see breaching whales out in the water from our lanai, just several yards off our beautiful coast - in the Kehena Beach area. Many of my tenants have told me that they were able to swim w/ the dolphins as well - and you can too at the world famous 'Kehena Black Sand Beach' !
This is the place for water lovers - you should see the spectacular view from the lanai. Literally, you will see coconut trees swaying w/ the trade winds against a blue pacific ocean backdrop.
We also have the best and safest snorkeling grounds just down the road in the Kapoho Tide pools? You can easily navigate all of these places from our cabin at Kehena Beach, it has come to be a very popular spot 'right in the center of all of these attractions'.
For those of you who are seeking night time entertainment, check out 'Uncles Outdoor Hawaii Bar' if you want to sip a beer, listen to live Hawaiian music, eat great food and enjoy a farmers market at the same time.
This spacious and comfortable, high ceiling cottage has one bedroom w/ queen bed, full bath, living/dining area w/ food prep area includes blender/coffee w/ coffee maker (MW & toaster oven in utility room 15 ft. from Dolphin Cottage) and a Hawaiian rock BBQ outside situated in a tropical garden w/ ocean view.
If you require a full kitchen, please refer to the Whale House that has a fully equipped kitchen.
It can't get much better than this. We have a laundry - utility room as well w/ sink. Soap is available.
It can sleep up to 4 using the sofa bed ( size of double bed) or full sized floor mattress Futon.
This cottage is just 8 miles from Pohoiki Point (surfing area) and the famous Kapoho snorkeling waters are also near by and remain popular snorkeling, surfing and swimming areas. Compare our rates to those in Kapoho - you will love our place.
Volcanoes National Park is < 1hr drive from the cottage where you can see Kilauea Caldera and walk through Thurstons Lava Tube.
You will love Kehena Beach in the Puna District of Hawaii.

“Beautiful little cottage with a nice water view”
This was a beautiful little cottage and would have loved to stay longer than the one night. I didn't print out the directions for the cottage though and needed to call to find it.

“Perfect place to stay near Issic Hale Park where we got the boat to view the lava flow.”
Very comfortable cottage right across the street from the ocean. We were only there for 15 hours, but perfect for our night before viewing the lava flowing into the ocean.

Response from the owner Glad you enjoyed it. We have hundreds of wonderful reviews on other sites as well because it is a great place. Hope to get more bookings on Flupkey and TripAdvisor some day. Btw, there is a store on the same street as the cottage just 3 miles down the road. Directions are clearly visible in the refrigerator.

Response from the owner Yes, these cottages are across the street from Kehena Beach and just down the road from where the boats leave for the lava boat tours. We work hard to keep our cottages clean as that is what we expect when we require lodging. Mahalo
