6 out of 5 stars is what we would give La Plumeria Cottage! From the warm welcome through all the help Sandy gave us about local features and highlights, we were totally impressed. The cottage is clean and comfy and is fully stocked with a complete kitchen. There was also a full complement of beach and snorkeling gear. The setting was pure tropical delight with a wonderful view of the Pacific. Right at the bottom of the hill were 2 excellent snorkeling spots and a national park focusing on history and culture of Hawai'i. We had a great tour of Big Island Bees, a nearby honey company and got to sample their delicious wares. We also made several excursions around the island and this was simply a great place to come back to every evening. Kudos Sandy and Bruce for providing such an inviting place.
