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.

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.
It was so nice to stay at this cottage. The location is wonderful and I miss it already! Everything was so clean and peaceful. Don't hesitate to book this property. It's great!
Location felt secluded with out being far away from everything. Views from the porch were lovely. Cottages were the perfect size, and had everything we needed. Hike down to the beach across the street is definitely worth it. The locals were so helpful and friendly.
I’d definitely stay again.
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.

Beautiful house in a wonderful location
This is a quaint and well maintained little house in a beautiful location directly across the street from a pristine black sand beach. We watched a magnificent sunset and the kids played in the water although it was a little rough. It was a l tough to cook because they did not have a full kitchen but we made it work. I would recommend this place to a friend.
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!
I was only there for the night as I was traveling through the area but really enjoyed the home and the location right on the ocean. It's a quiet little neighborhood. Very quaint. Andre and Susan were responsive via text and even sent over a new coffee maker early in the morning when the existing one broke on me. They were great and the house was VERY clean. OVerall great experience.
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!
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.
Loved walking across the street in the morning with a cup of coffee and looking down on the ocean. Morning sun onto the deck was relaxing and invigorating.
All amenities available were exactly what we needed for a 5 day get away!
I came her with my two teenagers. Loved the cottage, super cute and clean. Very comfortable. The beach access is very close and the sunrises are amazing!

This was the perfect place to stay, and directly across the street from the beach we were married at! My only regret was not staying longer! It had everything we could possibly need and it was so very clean! I felt so relaxed there!
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.
