Clean and comfortable cottage on the Big Island's Hamakua Coast in Pepeekeo. Built with love and Aloha for family and friends, this cottage is set in a private, quiet, peaceful, serene and airy environment with views of the Pacific Ocean and awesome stars on clear nights. Biking and nature walks abound. Within a few minutes' drive to popular sites such as Akaka Falls, Tropical Botanical Gardens, and easy scenic drive to Waipio Valley and more! We are happy to welcome guests like you. Aloha!<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />A short 5-minute drive will take you to the cute town of Honomu, enroute to famous Akaka Falls. If you want to enjoy breakfast out, there's 100% Hawaiian grown coffee and a wide selection of healthy yet tasty breakfast menu items at Shark's in Honomu, my favorite breakfast place! <br /><br />Just 10 miles north of Hilo, our cottage is close to major attractions in Hilo and allows for short drives to other popular sites such as Volcano National Park, Botanical Gardens and surfing spots. Location also makes for easy and scenic day trips to attractions on the north and west side of the Big Island, such as Waipio Valley, Hapuna Beach and the towns of Honokaa, Waimea and Kailua-Kona. Pack a picnic with the coolers supplied in the cottage. When you're done exploring and just want to relax, simply pull up the patio chairs and table, open a bottle of cold beer or have a glass of wine and set your eyes on the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. To top it off, why not have a barbecue? Just buy your favorite beef, chicken or fish...and all the fixings and you'd be on your way to a lovely, delicious and relaxing evening in paradise!<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />There's a stream adjacent to our property with a neat swimming spot. Our large yard is great for kids playing ball or family playing frisbee. Patio is great for an evening of bbq or simply relaxing on the lounge chairs and marveling at the ocean or the night skies. There’s a dedicated parking space conveniently located next to the cottage. Washer and dryer is also easily accessible just outside the cottage, dedicated for your use during your stay.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />Kindly note - need to add 14.41% tax (subject to change per current county and state laws) to the listed nightly price since Airbnb does not handle tax collection and payment in the State of Hawaii. This tax is required and is in turn paid to the government.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />GET/TAT-086-499-3280-01R
