The place was very quiet and peaceful. No air-conditioning, but with the constant ocean breeze it felt great. We had our 18 month old and they loved the little beach pretty much in the back yard. The adults could do some snorkeling in the same area. We did most of our relaxing and eating outside in the back lenai. The property manager, Lopaka, was a lot of information and checked up to make sure we had any further questions or needed any help. I would book the place again if we go back.

This place was in a beautiful setting. Loved hearing the ocean waves at night. However, you must be comfortable with having all windows and doors open at night. No AC. There are screens and the property is gated at the road, but the “beach” behind the property is public. The house itself could use some updates. Baseboards were missing. The bathrooms were dated and stained. The tops of the roller shades downstairs were very dirty. The washer and dryer units are outside and rusted. There were no chairs available to take to the beach. Overall, for the price, I think I would look elsewhere if we were back in the area.

A beautiful classic Kona Home in a beachfront setting. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying tha Aloha of Kona. And a great location for enjoying restaurants and shopping and the other wonders of the Big Island.

The Zen House is part of an old sugar plantation. The house is old and is decorated with antiques but we found it charming. The property manager/maintenance guy and his wife live in another house on the property. He was super friendly and my husband enjoyed talking to him. The beach is literally steps from back porch! Amazing views and close to shopping and all the action! Gated so we felt safe. The beaches in hawaii are public and there are not a lot of Sandy beaches in this area so “our” little beach had people on it pretty much all the time. This was awkward at times because it is just steps from our patio…but I mean I’m not complaining because there aren’t many homes with access like this to a Sandy beach! The owner could definitely upgrade the “extras” have an extra roll of paper towels, nicer hand soap, beach towels, beach chairs, better blow dryers, a little cooler for you to use etc. these little touches would make it more luxurious and would help balance out what the price per day is to stay. Overall adorable little house with unbelievable views and location! If we came back to the Big Island I would stay again.

This listing is amazing! I wish we could have stayed longer. The home was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Lopeka was a wealth of knowledge and very helpful. The views and sunsets were incredible. I would definitely stay here again when we visit the Big Island.

If you're looking for a perfectly relaxing getaway this is it. The sound of the waves, the snorkeling right in the backyard, the turtles in the cove, the green grass --- I'm not sure life gets any better than this. If you are considering it, do yourself a favor and book this place. This is truly something special.

We spent three weeks in the Hawiian islands and the Zen Cottage was the pick of the accomodation. I stayed with my wife, two teenage children and their grandmother. Then ambience of the cottage is perfect to relax in. We love snorkelling and found as many tropical fish directly in front of the cottage as any where else we went to, inluding many beautiful turtles. The entry into the water is from a lovely and safe small sand beach at the back gate. Sand beaches are rare here. Nearby Captain Cook monument Bay Area was full of Spinner Dolphins who come right up to snorkelets. We hired kayaks there and found ourselves immersed in their world. We left the Vegimite behind to complement the helpful items we found in the pantry. Below is the unsolicited response we sent to the site manager Val who then asks us to post a review. Ian and family from Sydney Australia.
"You have a magical spot, we were spoilt snorkeling out the front seeing many tropical fish and the green sea turtles. Tina was a great help with any questions. The house was well equipped. We had a lovely week and will recommend your house to friends."
