We arrived on a late flight and stayed at Mele’s cottage on our first night in Hawaii. It is the perfect little cottage and very close to Kona. The bed was really comfy, the lanai is the perfect spot for breakfast, and the bathroom has everything you could need - even sewing kits and feminine products. There was a filtered water pitcher in the fridge, instant oatmeal packets, apples, and coffee to make a pot for breakfast, which was wonderful since we had just arrived. You can hear the frogs at night and birds in the morning, it’s very peaceful and the location is just beautiful. Everything was spotless, neat, and organized. I could go on about all of the little touches that were in place, but book it and enjoy them yourself! Communication with Mele was fast and helpful. Highly recommend her place! I am the kind of person who will read every single review before booking to make sure there’s not a “wow, wish I’d known that” kind of surprise. So, trust me, I can’t think of anything I’d change or that I wish I’d known!
