This Cottage is like a second home, does not feel at all like a rental, with all the little touches to make you feel at home. All the furniture is top line along with all the appliances, nothing cheap here. The beds are the best, super comfortable and very nice and soft linens. We basically just ate breakfast here with a couple of times reheating leftovers, so we didn't use most of the cooking utensils, even the silverware was of very good quality. Coffee maker was awesome and it was one of my highlights sitting in the Lanai drinking my coffee in the early morning, it just doesn't get better than that! Perfect place to entertain with plenty of sitting and tables. Great washer and dryer, don't even need to put detergent in it( wash and go), if the soap does run out, you are doing too much laundry for vacation! LOL
Location is very good, close to the highway(30) which can be busy, but allows for easy access to all places, be careful for the drivers that haven't gotten to the Aloha state of mind yet. Grounds are mature and beautiful, we would just walk around and even just sit by the pool. We felt very safe in the complex.
Lisa and the co host Carol were very fast responding to a couple of little things and they were both resolved quickly.
The weather was very hot and humid for most of our 10 days here, even the locals were complaining so we knew it was not normal. This made the cottage a bit on the warmer side, as I am sure any of the non ac houses on the islands were also warm. Lisa provides several pretty good floor fans and ceiling fans in each bedroom, living and master bathroom, along with an air purifier. After several nights of trying different placements of the fans, finally figured out to closing the bedroom doors and keeping all the windows opened, placing the fans up to the windows to blow in the cooler night air, really helped it stay cooler, I even got cold on the last night. One of the reasons the house did stay on the warmer side was due to the lack of trade winds, when they did kick in it made a big difference.
We would stay here again without hesitation, one of the very few times I felt we got our moneys worth and then some. Aloha!
