1 Bedroom Cottage in Opihihale, Captain Cook

Makalani (Heavenly View) Cottage is a delightfully romantic cottage surrounded by a tropical garden in South Kona's coffee-belt with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. For the adventurous traveler seeking authentic Hawaiian beauty and serenity, you can spend your whole vacation here gazing out over the endless ocean and its incredible sunsets. In the winter, you can spot whales breaching from your outdoor lanai or listen to them singing at night. Awaken to the music of colorful birdsong from papaya, mango and banana trees.
With a perfect year-round climate, perched at 1200 ft. above the sea on the side of Mauna Loa Volcano, Makalani Oceanview Cottage is authentic Hawai'i unspoiled by crowds and resorts. A great location that gives you many options for experiencing The Big Island's natural diversity. From your cottage you are just 4-minutes from the closest beach and 15-minutes to Ho'okena Beach State Park for sunbathing and swimming with dolphins. A 20-minute drive brings you to the famous Pu'uhonua o'Honaunau (Place of Refuge) National Historic Park and Kealakekua Bay where you can kayak to Captain Cook's monument and snorkel with an endless variety of tropical fish and sea turtles. And best of all, you're only 65-minutes from Madame Pele's live action at Volcanos National Park.
Your cottage is tastefully appointed with Indonesian teak furniture providing a romantic comfort reminiscent of Colonial British tropics. Your large open-room (studio) cottage sleeps two luxuriously with a romantic king-size canopy-bed with a memory-foam mattress fit for royalty. There is also a convertible couch-futon which can comfortably sleep two additional guests. You'll have a fully-equipped kitchen as well as dining area for four. A large outdoor lanai with barbeque gives you garden seating with a stunning ocean view. Your detached private bathroom with semi- outdoor shower will provide a refreshing Hawaiian experience with nature.
There is also a detached guestroom/meditation room available which is set in a grove of mango trees overlooking the ocean, called the 'Mango Grove Lookout'. It has a sofa-futon which can comfortably sleep one or two people. Serene and magical, this special extra-room provides daytime privacy as well as an intimate camp-like Hawaiian sleeping experience.
Managed with aloha spirit, Makalani Oceanview Cottage is the perfect vacation/retreat cottage where you'll find yourself surrounded by the natural beauty of Hawaii.
We hope your stay here will be the first of many happy vacations to South Kona and this beautiful island of Hawaii.

Summary: The cabin is perfect and the property is beautiful. Harry was a great host. The cabin is stocked with condiments and spices as well as coolers, beach chairs and boogie boards. It’s a bit of a drive from Kona but it’s a beautiful drive that passes by beaches, coffee shops, restaurants and fruit stands. We loved everything about our stay here.

Summary: Exactly as Harry describes it on VRBO. Especially peaceful. If you’re more comfortable being surrounded by a lot of neighbors instead of in a peaceful rainforest, then it’s possible you wouldn’t be so comfortable here. We liked driving off to things and then coming back to this little Haven for the evenings. We were also both under the weather, unfortunately, for most of our time on the big island, so this was a perfect place to recuperate!

Summary: What a lovely cottage with a magnificent view of the ocean! Super clean and beautifully decorated. The pictures are very accurate; this is a beautiful place to stay. Harry is the best host, so generous with tips about everything local. The cottage is furnished with lots of beach items which made our visits to the beaches just perfect. We loved the curious geckos and the charming chickens. Best stay ever!the

Summary: The home overlooks the ocean and it is a comfortable elevation so it just about ideal temperatures. We enjoyed the separation from the hustle of downtown and the country feel of Captain Cook area. Property was beautiful and comfortable, host was warm and friendly. This was a great stay, we enjoyed our time here thoroughly.

Summary: Many thanks to Harry for the gracious hospitality. The location was scenic, quiet and off grid but with good accommodations. On site laundry facilities and more efficient internet Wi-Fi would have been ideal. Driving 18 miles to do laundry was not in the property description when first considering the property. Overall the stay was great. Many thanks again!

Summary: Very private tropical location, all the amenities plus extras for borrowing while being away from the property. Drive to town takes a while but being close to town not important to us. Owner friendly and helpful with suggestions. Enjoyed the view, privacy, instant hot water for shower, and geckos :).
Jan 31, 2024 12:32:03 AM
Summary: Tucked into a beautiful tropical garden is a guest cottage with a large four poster bed, a patio with ocean views, and a separate bathroom that gives you the experience of living in the jungle while having all the comforts of home. The separate ‘Mango Hut’ for additional guests is a lovely little space with great views of the ocean and Kona coast. Watch the sun set and listen to birds, frogs and the occasional rooster. All the sounds of Hawaii! Everything was perfect, Harry is a very friendly host and we enjoyed the garden tour! Will be returning on our next visit to the Big Island.
