Great location for snorkeling
The property is located a few minutes away from the best snorkeling destinations on the island making it easier to snorkel in calm morning waters and beat the crowds. The propery is beautifully landscaped and with vreathtakubg views from the property. Jim is a great host, and so are his two friendly dogs, Kona and Ben. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend this place!

Perfect!
We stayed three nights in the Pineapple Patch Cottage and we couldn't have picked a better spot for our time on the west side of the island. Each morning found us sitting at the patio table enjoying a fresh brew of Kona coffee. The cottage is simple but very homey and has what you need. And Jim is a wealth of information about the island. After being out all day seeing the sights-the Painted Church, the Peace Garden, Kaloko-Honokohau national historic park, many beaches, drives, views and cafes-we returned to grill our dinner and enjoy a bottle of wine. We're not fans of big fancy hotels. If you want to see Kailua-Kona like a local this is the place for you!

Wonderful Cottage!
This was our first time on the big island. We stayed at the cottage the week of Christmas and it was awesome! Off the beaten path and very quiet and night with a great view of the sunset. The owners, Jim and Terry, were very friendly and helpful. The doggos were superb! Highly recommend!

Cottage in Coffee Country
We greatly enjoyed our days at this cottage in coffee country. The hosts were readily available with information and suggestions. We’ve been at this location several times now to enjoy peaceful days. It’s a perfect base from which to launch island explorations. We’ll miss the froggie chorus chirping us to sleep. Highly recommended for our needs.

Lovely short stay in Captain Cook
My husband and I stayed for several days, and wish we could have stayed more.The accommodations are lovely, exceptionally neat, and our hosts clearly put a lot of thought into helping their guests have a fabulous stay. Because our visit was brief, we didn’t have the opportunity for many things, but we appreciated the local area knowledge and recommendations from our hosts. The cottage is nicely decorated and well stocked with anything we could need, the bed comfortable, and the quiet of the area was a valued respite. Communication was great and we felt very welcome.We loved this area of the coast and this property, and are resolved to return soon. Thank you!

Great place
This was a great place, a separate private little cottage, which was perfect for what we wanted. The location was convenient to some wonderful hikes and local restaurants. The property is lovely, there's a cute orchard and a view of the ocean. The cottage was clean and comfortable and incredibly well equipped. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We would absolutely stay again if we have the opportunity. Definitively recommended!

Great little place, great location for snorkeling, awesome hosts!
This cottage is such a gem for one or two people. We really enjoyed staying here. The hosts were very nice and helpful with any questions we had both prior to our visit and during our stay. The place was super clean, the bed was comfortable with lots of different pillows for different likes and the hosts had so many items to use that one might need. The kitchen had a coffee pot and they even had some kona coffee in a sealed plastic container for us to use. We are snorkelers so we really liked the outdoor shower to rinse off our gear and to clean off without having to use the shower inside. They even had shampoo, conditioner and body wash outside for the shower (hot water too). The location was south of the airport in the "country" but close to the ocean with great scenery. The best snorkeling place was right down the road (where the parking was for the trail head). The hosts were very nice and if you book they send you so much useful information about the area and places to go so you can plan ahead. We really liked that. We recommend the free coffee tour with Greenwell Coffee, it's very informative with samples afterwards. If you like pizza, in the nearby town of Captain Cook, Black Rock Pizza is good (and we are from Chicago). Highly recommend you stay here, especially if you want to get away from the city. So peaceful! By the way, the dogs are greeters and sweethearts. We really didn't see much of them after we got the initial "hello". We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Martin

Host profile image
We had been coming to South Kona for 15 years when we acquired the property early in 2013. We have been residents for three years, now.
Jim is a retired theatre artist/social worker/educator/student, and Terry owns his own business in international shipping. Jim stays more or less permanently in South Kona, while Terry is still working. He comes and goes regularly.
We have a 6-year old dog, Kona. She came over from LA over two years ago, and she is now a local girl.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with South Kona and the expansive views of the coast and the sea - as well as the myriad of activities the area presents. We bought a lot very close to the house and cottage and are considering expanding the orchard. We are not only the happy owners of a beautiful Hawaiian home, but we are mango farmers, tending a 30-tree mango orchard on our property.

What makes this property unique

We are in an ideal location for R&R after a day of Big Island activities - whatever your pleasure, be it snorkeling or diving in Kealakekua or Honaunau Bay, cycling, hiking, sight-seeing, coffee tasting or just experiencing Aloha! The area is very quiet and we have lovely neighbors. We are two drives down from Napo'opo'o Road so road noise is non-existent. We are surrounded by birds and lush vegetation. Kona polices the property, and keeps the wild chickens and turkeys away - usually. They can be brazen.
