Plumeria Cottage, hotel in Kailua-Kona

Offering quiet street views, Plumeria Cottage is an accommodation situated in Kailua-Kona, 2.6 km from White Sands Beach Park and 11 km from Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park.

This is a fantastic property to base yourself from and explore Kailua/kona and surrounding areas. The hosts have very thoughtfully kitted out and prepared the accommodation. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is spacious, the kitchen area pretty well kitted out, and has a comfortable lounge area. If you’re looking to prepare lots of your own meals, know that this property doesn’t have an oven and only a single ring hob, toaster plus microwave. Also if you’re looking for panoramic views from a balcony or similar, this cottage is tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood just a short hop from Ali’i drive and you’d have to pay substantially more for those kind of views. The hosts were super responsive to mail questions and all in all I’d highly recommend this cottage.

    The view from the funky living room was beautiful. The host stayed up late for us ( for a fee) and was friendly and helpful. Very quiet and relaxing.

    It was as expected: honest and essential, but comfortable. There was breakfast (coffee and cereal bars) with fresh fruits. The staff is very friendly. I like the location and they were very clear about the directions, which were provided by email. Many Uber and Lift may complain about carrying you up there. Just be aware and ask the host about some trusted taxi contact

    Great location close to town with beautiful sunset views. The place has all the amenities one could want in a condo. Workout room is limited so if one really wants to workout, consider a nearby gym. Curtains in living room only covered half of the sliding glass door, which did not allow for privacy at night which is my only complaint. Other than than, wonderful place. It was quiet and cozy and the host was available for any questions.
