This was our favorite place to stay on this trip! It gave us a nature-y feel but with all of the luxuries that made it extra comfortable. You are able to get a nice breeze inside when you open the windows and the screened-in lanai has a beautiful view of the ocean and lush tropical landscape. It is an all-together beautifully decorated space. The kitchen was amazing with a large fridge (note that large for the island is not the same as large on the mainland but it was still more than we needed - and we are cookers!). The kitchen is very very well stocked for an airbnb. This cottage is in a neighborhood but feels extremely private and secluded thanks to the tons of tropical vegetation. We enjoyed the super sweet cat and watching the chickens walking around nearby (be mindful of driving with the cat around - he/she is a little slow to move sometimes and doesn't seem to fear vehicles). Patricia is very quick to respond if you need her. The location was great for visiting all of the sights in he north area of the island! Our absolute favorites were: Tex Drive In (1 minute away with our fav haupia and bavarian cream warm malasadas and their garden burger loco moco 2/1 on Thursdays), Waipio Valley Lookout, Pololu Valley Hike, Kohala Coffee Mill (MUST try the breadfruit and ube burger with green goddess sauce - omg... and coffee, and $7 acai bowl!), Original Big Island Shave Ice Co, Waialea Beach, Lava Lava Beach Club (happy hour 3-5pm - drinks are strong and atmosphere is the best on the island), and the tons of scenic drives all over the place. We would (and WILL) stay here again in a heartbeat!!
