The cottage: I had a great stay at this cottage in Feb 2016. The website description and pictures are accurate. This is a small, tidy, comfortably furnished one-bedroom cottage, most appropriate for 1-2 people. It is light and airy, done in cheery tropical colors. Most of the photographic art is by the owners. The fully-screened 8x24’ lanai provides a distant view of the ocean and is equipped with table and chairs and loveseat. Nice place for sitting and/or having your meals. Bedroom has a comfortable king bed. Kitchen is small but well-equipped with large mini-fridge, small stove, coffee maker, blender, utensils, etc. Living area has couch, coffee table, desk with chair. It’s a nice comfortable area as well. Tables are made by the owners, with beautiful local woods. Ceiling fans in living room and bedroom keep the cottage cool and pleasant. Washer and dryer in closet on back porch is very convenient. The outdoor shower is spacious and well screened for privacy. Internet connection is generally good. Cell phone coverage in the Seaview area is low (as noted in description), but I got enough of a Verizon signal to be able to send and receive texts, and there is a landline for calls, if needed.
The area: I’m a single woman and felt very comfortable and safe staying in this cottage and in Seaview. It is a very “walkable” community. Seaview Lawn oceanside park is about 1/4 mile from the cottage, great place to sit and watch the ocean. Kalani Oceanside Retreat is ½ mile from Seaview Lawn. Kehena Beach is less than a mile from Seaview Lawn. Uncle Roberts Awa bar is 4 miles away, a good place to go for Weds evening and Saturday morning market and music. Be aware of cars, bikes, pedestrians on the narrow roads.
The hosts – Rob and Bob – live nearby. They are outstanding – friendly and helpful if you have questions or need anything, but not intrusive. They strive to make your stay comfortable and pleasant. Thank you Bob and Rob for making me feel very much at home here!
Overall, I highly recommend this cottage and would stay here again.
