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.

Perfect Cottage
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!

Kitchen
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
