My 11 year old son and I just returned from Hawaii... we both have plans to move there someday!

We stayed for only two nights at Coconut Cottage but they were truly unforgettable!

The grounds of this B&B are immaculate and stunning. The room we stayed in, the Hyacinth Room was perfect and spacious with beautiful decor, a sitting room, and direct access to a lanai in the back. Our private bathroom was more than ample, again with beautiful decor and a shower that I could have stayed in for hours. Oh... and the bed was soooo comfortable!

Breakfast. They had a beautiful fruit plate, coffee, tea and a tropical juice that we couldn't get enough of. The Coconut Macademia pancakes were delicious and plentyful. They are true gourmets.

Thank you for the hershey hugs on our bed when we arrived, they hit the spot and were a great treat.

My son and I also enjoyed frog hunting in the evening... they sing such a beautiful song, and Todd and Jerry gave us flashlights so we could go "hunting" for them. We only found two but my son thought it was "way cool".

Todd and Jerry are incredibly knowledgeable about the big Island and helped us with our travel plans. They even let us borrow a fabulous book with maps and information for our tour day.

Mahalo to both of you for helping make our trip unforgettable and life changing.

We absolutely loved this charming B&B. From the coconut macadamia pancakes (as good as, if not better than, everyone says) to the soothing Hawaiian music they play in the common room and breakfast area to the hospitality goodies they leave in your room, we are so happy we chose to stay at Coconut Cottage! On top of all that, Jerry was thoughtful and generous enough to lend us his binoculars and flashlights before we visited the lava viewing area at night (an absolute MUST and so close to this B&B); if he hadn't, I definitely would have broken an ankle navigating the uneven lava surface in the dark. We even borrowed Raiders of the Lost Ark from their impressive DVD collection--I told my husband I felt like we were at a cozy slumber party. So fun!

I'm not sure where to start. I guess the beginning...

My Sweetheart and I have never stayed in a B&B before, and the differences between this wonderful place and a hotel is vast. When we first saw this B&B we fell in love!

It is in a beautiful neighborhood, it is very tropical and cheerful both inside and out. The landscaping was so well done that even upon returning "home" we felt like we were still having fun on a tropical island. Sitting on the porch listening to the birds chirping and, later in the evening, the frogs’ chorus was fantastic. And then there was the hot-tub... beautiful, quiet, romantic, cozy...sigh. I miss sharing it with my Love.

And then there are the owners, Jerry and Todd. Very nice, very pleasant, very helpful with advice on where to go and things to see. And they had some great stories to tell about different things with the island and the people. They were also very attentive to the smallest details. We stayed in the cottage in the backyard and they would stock it daily with bottled water and tropical sodas, chips and cookies and fresh coffee, I was in heaven. We stayed for seven nights and they even went to the trouble to change the dinnerware, mugs and glasses in the middle of our stay. I was both happy and amused that they took the time to do this. It was a nice touch.

I have so many pictures of just this B&B that are going to be in my favorites list. From the flowers and trees to the interesting objects in there yard, natural and landscaped.

If there was a sixth star, I would give it to Jerry and Todd at the Coconut Cottage for making us feel at home and helping to make our stay in Hawaii a very pleasant experience.

Thank you both, Jeff Pearl. :)

The Coconut Cottage is not only a beautiful place to stay but Todd and Jerry are gracious and knowledgeable tourguides and hosts. We stayed in their Bali Spirit Suite and found it to suit our every need. They had all the modern accomodations that a hotel would have, but in a lovely tropical setting, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Pahoa is a cute little, quaint town and Todd and Jerry directed us to out of the way places to snorkel where there were only a few people!

The daily gourmet breakfasts were so elegantly prepared and served. Our every need was attended to and we will definitely be back to this lush and gorgeous tropical setting.
