So close to the beach. Loved hearing the sound of the ocean and staying around the pretty foliage. Periodic rain made for some peaceful and energizing relaxation time. Will be recommending to family and friends that need a relaxing place to rest and rejuvenate.

Cute cottage right across from the ocean
Nice place, laid back feel,AC in the bedroom and good bed for a comfortable night sleep. Kehena black sand beach right across the road- you do have to climb down to it and trail is not well marked so ask anyone at the top how to get there.

The cottage is perfect for a couple. We loved the size, the lanai overlooking the ocean was so relaxing. Close to nature and not touristy. A bit of a drive to town, but worth it.

Kehena Delights
We were thrilled to have found this gem of a home at this dramatically scenic location. The photos really do not do it justice. Wish we could have stayed longer. It would have been helpful to know that there was a single burner hot plate, but we managed to plan food that would not require cooking! Mahalo!

Kehena Beach!
This was our second stay at Dolphin Cottage. Kehena Beach is the obvious first attraction, as its across the street. If you've never been to Kehena, it's worth a visit. Beautiful sunrise, constant waves (watch out for the intermittent big wave) and interesting people. If you want some quiet time, you can sit on the balcony of Dolphin and listen to the palms rustle in the breeze. Dolphin is a good central point to visit Hilo, Pahoa, and VNP. Recommend!

Cute cottage across the street from beach. Quiet neighborhood. Full kitchen space but attention to no microwave or stove Drive to nearest store so I had bought groceries before arriving not knowing I would be unable to cook. Addition of at least a microwave would have made it perfect

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle this is the place! I loved walking across the street to take a swim in the morning. We drove around to see the 2018 volcano eruption. Everything is so lush. My husband and I really enjoyed our visit.

Mixed stay
This is on the rainy side of the island. It rained every day. There was discarded trash in the car park - old clothes and a spray bottle, a junk food wrapper under the stairs. Windows were filthy. Screens so covered with dust I could smell it when the breeze blew through them. I cleaned a few screens to fix that. That water tasted terrible. Used botted water after the first taste. A Britta pitcher would be a good cheap fix. The place has good potential. A black sand beach is across the road. A steep climb but doable. But better attention to cleaning is needed.

Hawaii weekend
Hosts made checking super easy. Unit was exactly as described. Right across the street from a beautiful black sand beach. Climb down to the beach was challenging, but well worth it. Found out that it is a "clothes optional " beach on the weekends. Went to weekend farmers market just down the road on Saturday. Grocery store in Pahoa was very convenient. Would recommend this place to all.

Perfect Location for Kehena Beach
We can't say enough good things about this property. The rates were very reasonable and the location perfect. It was exactly what we were looking for and gave us easy, hassle-free access to Kehena Beach, which was our favorite on the island. The lanai was also a perfect place to relax after being at the beach. It is an easy 20 minute drive to Pahao for restaurants, with a standout being Pele's Kitchen for some of the best breakfasts that we had during our stay. Andre was a pleasure to work with and we would definitely stay at the Dolphin Cottage again.
