Slice of heaven!

This place was perfect. We slept on the hanging bed every night and it was so peaceful. Waking up naturally to the sunrise was so refreshing and we felt incredibly well rested every morning! This is a must stay place in my opinion.

Sunrise, Sounds, and Secluded

We enjoyed the beautiful ocean sunrise sitting on the lanai while watching the birds fly from tree to tree. The sounds of frogs and birds abound in this lush environment. The cottage is well appointed and meets all your needs.

Amazing special spot.

The hosts are gracious and very welcoming. If you’re looking for that intimate, indoor outdoor big island experience, this might be the place for you. Very peaceful and an excellent place for meditation or grounding with the Hawaiian lands. Take the time to slow down and really soak it in Mahalo

Excellent Second Visit

This was our second stay at the Pineapple Cottage and it was just as magical as the first. We spent hours lounging on the hanging bed on the lanai and eating fresh fruit and poke bowls. It was just the relaxing stay we needed!

Paradise

What an amazing stay. We appreciated the warm welcome we received when we arrived at the cottage and were pleasantly surprised by the homemade muffins waiting for us on the kitchen table. We had everything we could have needed during our stay and we especially loved relaxing on the hanging bed on the lanai after a day of exploring. The views were amazing and it was so peaceful and relaxing. We would definitely recommend the Pineapple Cottage to anyone!!

Amazing Stay

The Pineapple Cottage was the perfect peaceful spot. Amazing sunrises and a great view. The porch was awesome and the outdoor bed was so nice during both the sunshine and the rain. The hosts were kind and helpful, and they have a couple of friendly dogs you can play with if you're missing your own animals back home. The farm is very pretty and you have free rein to stroll around. We had all the amenities we needed in the bathroom and kitchen, including cookware. We're so pleased we chose to stay here!

Paradise Found

My husband and I so enjoyed our stay in the Pineapple Cottage at Hulili Farm. While the location made sight-seeing around the island easy, we often opted to stay in and enjoy the sound of the rain on the roof and the sway of the hanging bed on the lanai. We hope to come back again soon!

Paradise!!

Where do I start…this magical cottage is amazing! From the personalized welcome sign to the hanging bed on the lanai this place left us feeling relaxed and not wanting to leave. The sound of frogs at night serenaded us to sleep and the bright sun and birds chirping woke us up in the morning. Walking through the lychee orchard was such experience. Lucy & Molly were a great welcome commitment! If you love dogs you will not be disappointed. Madeleine was great at communicating before our stay and during our stay. She even let us know when Kilauea was erupting so we could get there quickly! This gem of a place is off the beaten path and we loved it! If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of tourist this is the place for you! If ever come back we will be staying here again!

Cozy hideaway

This property strikes a rare balance: reasonably priced, well-located, and thoughtfully maintained without excess or pretense.The views are lush, the space immaculately clean, and the hosts both warm and unobtrusive. Practical touches such as on-site laundry, overhead fans, and a Sleep Number bed (more curiosity than necessity) made for an easy stay. Nighttime breezes kept the temperature comfortable.We had no issues with bugs — just a few charming geckos lingering outside. The only real misstep was the futon, which was all but unusable as seating.As a base for daily excursions, it was ideal. The experience was seamless, understated, and quietly memorable.

Laid back, lush retreat

We were two couples visiting the Big Island for 10 days: 4 nights at Hulili Farms, 6 nights at Mauna Lani condos. At Hulili Farms, one couple stayed in the Pineapple Cottage while the other stayed in the Treehouse. We gathered nightly on the lanai of the cottage for tropical drinks and simple meals. Day trips included Volcano National Park and Hilo. A highlight was the Hawaiian Botanical Garden followed by lunch at nearby Pi’ilani Kitchen. A Pineapple Cottage highlight was the outdoor hanging bed - falling asleep to the sound of frogs, waking to rain and birdsong The hosts, their dogs, the chicken, papaya eating geckos, and Frankie the duck made our time at Hulili Farms a delight!

Relaxing & quiet

We loved our stay in the Pineapple Cottage! Such a unique place to stay after being in a condo on the Kona side of the Big Island. The hosts we very friendly and offered fruit from their farm. The pictures on the VRBO site match the actual cottage & farm. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful & out of the city property to stay at, this is the place. It's about 20 minutes from Hilo and an hour from Volacano National Park. I would highly recommend!

Amazing Place

The best place we have stayed in Hawaii! Everything was amazing. The cottage was very cozy and clean. The owners were extremely nice and welcoming, they have left muffins and fresh fruits for us. We have also met three small green geckos that live outside, and it was so much fun to befriend them! The views from the cottage are spectacular, every day of our stay, we just wanted to stay and enjoy it to the fullest. Recommend this place over any hotels/ resorts.

private cottage

We enjoyed out stay at the pineapple cottage. It was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. The pictures are accurate. We were amused by all the animals and birds on the property. It was very peaceful and private. The view is breathtaking. The property is located only 20 minutes from Hilo. We would definitely rent this cottage again and will highly recommend it to others.

Gorgeous property that is so relaxing and close to lots of great things to see. I cannot express how very relaxing it was to stay there. Of your looking for quiet and peaceful this is the place. The cabin was stocked with several condiments and all the dishes you need to cook. The laundry area had detergent and dryer sheet for free to use. The showers have everything you need. The animals are great and there is several fruit trees to pick from. We had a lemon for our chicken, and an orange for breakfast, straight from the tree! It is out of town, so a car is a must, but that was my favorite part! Thanks to the beautiful hosts for sharing their land with strangers!

Tranquil stay at the pineapple cottage

I loved everything about this cottage. It’s hard to put into words how relaxing and peaceful it was to wake up and have acres of land in front of you with the ocean in the distance. Collectively, we spent hours out on that porch in the swinging bed and rocking chairs. It rained pretty consistently the whole week we were there, so having that covered porch made it still feel like a vacation, even when hunkering down to avoid the downpours. We were able to pick fresh citrus every day from the trees and the owners brought us a bunch of bananas to enjoy from the farm. This was a truly magical stay.

Very Peaceful

This was by far the most quiet and private vacation rental we have ever stayed. Hosts greeted us upon arrival and were very accessible throughout our stay. Although a little far out for exploring the Hilo side of the Big Island the tradeoff is the solitude and peace. Bed was very comfortable and the muffins delicious. The rental was easy to find and extremely clean. It is a bit on the cozy side and I did miss a proper living room area and surface in bathroom for toiletries and such but made do. For us coffee enthusiasts, a larger coffer maker would be much appreciated. All in all a beautiful stay.

A peace of paradise

Absolutely incredible, we came in a little late and the host directed us where to go. When we arrived there was sign with our name on it welcoming us to our temporary home. Waking up with the sunrise and farm fresh eggs and produce was heavenly. Taking a nap or reading a book on the swinging bed felt like something out of a movie. We had full privacy and it was honestly the best place I have ever stayed. This humble property gave us the tranquility and peace we much needed. When we weren’t on the property we were swimming with turtles, zip lining and hiking to the falls!

Thanksgiving on the Farm

We had the opportunity to stay in the Hulili Farm Cottage for a full two weeks. The first week was just my husband and me and it was wonderful. Waking up every morning to the view down a sloping hill to the ocean, and a visit from three Geckos every morning. The owners live on the property but the cottage is set well apart so everyone can have full privacy. We had the good luck to stay when the owners sweet dog "Lucy" had puppies. It was a gift to walk up to the main house and pet them. One note about the cottage. The bed is a very big King so plenty of room for two big adults. However, we had family join us for a few days and the pull out futon is not quite big enough for two people unless they are children. The good news is that the hanging bed on the Lanai was perfect to use as an extra sleeping space for a few nights. We loved staying at Hulili Cottage and would do so again!
