An Authentic Big Island Rainforest Experience
Step into a vibrant tropical paradise and leave the hustle of daily life behind. Sitting at an ideal elevation of 1,500 feet in Fern Acres, the Sun Cottage enjoys cooler, comfortable temperatures and refreshing daily rainforest showers that keep the surrounding jungle lush and alive. Whether you are drinking your morning coffee on the covered front deck or falling asleep to the peaceful nighttime chorus of local coqui frogs, this cottage offers an authentic taste of Hawaii life.
Spacious Comfort & Unique Island Charm
Inside, you will find an inviting, light-filled layout with plenty of space for up to four guests. The cottage features a large dining and family room perfect for gathering, a fully equipped kitchen with a propane gas stove and oven, and a master bedroom complete with a comfortable Queen bed, ample closet space, and a Smart TV.
Children and extra guests love the fun upstairs loft bedroom, which holds two cozy single beds and dual closets. The indoor bathroom is a highlight of its own, boasting a spacious vanity and a classic clawfoot bathtub—complemented by a private outdoor shower for a beautiful, refreshing nature immersion under the trees.
The Perfect Base for Your Island Adventures
Location is everything when exploring the Big Island, and the Sun Cottage places you right in the middle of the region's best attractions. You will be situated just 30 minutes from the dramatic landscapes of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, making it incredibly easy to catch an evening eruption or hike the volcanic trails. The historic seaside charm of downtown Hilo, local beaches, waterfalls, and botanical gardens are also just a short 30-minute drive away down our community's private paved roads.
Sustainable Eco-Living
We are proud to run on a sustainable catchment water system and encourage mindful eco-living to preserve our beautiful island resources. To ensure your stay is seamless, we provide premium reverse-osmosis drinking water, a bidet attachment for comfort, and plenty of screened windows and ceiling fans to capture the fresh rainforest cross-breezes.
