Laycie was a very attentive and communicative host. Although we did not meet in person she was fast to respond to questions and issues.
The location of this cottage against the mountain is spectacular with a long pier that goes out into the water. We enjoyed sitting at the end and just watching the waves... with turtles and fish all around. It's located on a quiet side of the island and felt somewhat secluded. The sun set over the mountain around 4:30 each day which made sun chasing quite fun to the other side of the mountain.

Midway through our stay Laycie let us know that the guests next door had left, freeing up the hottub if we wanted- Thought that was very cool of her!

The kitchen is relatively well stocked and the bed is comfortable although more than one pillow on king sized bed would have been better.

The cottage itself was nice, although not what I would call a 'honeymoon cottage'. Reasons being,
- It lacks a few basic amenities such as drinking water and coffee - be sure you stop at a market on your way to get coffee, cream, and sugar, and bottled water. Nothing like this is provided.
- The shower really should be replaced, or painted, but there is an outdoor shower which we used instead -and happened to love!
- The house right next door is for families and there was a family of 7 or 8, children playing in the lawn out front, a tree house and a swing. It was fine for us, but you should know this if you're expecting a romantic, secluded honeymoon destination.
- There was one morning of obtrusive landscaping taking place on the property which resulted in some major privacy issues but, we were in Hawaii so how bad could it really be?

I think Laycie is a wonderful manager of this property- friendly and responsive and believe she is an asset to any property owner. Overall, the cottage location is fantastic and would be great for a small group of friends, or an adventurous couple that's fine with basic accommodations. It worked out fine for us but I just feel that it's a little misrepresented as is.
