The cottage is located in the cute little town of Kilauea, and is close to grocery stores, a few restaurants, botanical gardens, and several beaches. Lee was very kind to offer some produce from the farm and tidy up the cabin while we were out and about one day. As other reviews mentioned, their are quite a few mosquitoes, so spending time on the porch requires some preparation with lots of repellent. There are also geckos inside the cottage. They are really cute but also tend to poop on things, so be prepared to protect your clothes and pillows. The outdoor shower is awesome, and I highly recommend using it while you’re there. The rooster alarms star going off around 4am. I had earplugs and a musicozy with white noise, so they didn’t bother me much. Earplugs alone don’t entirely block out the sound. A lovely place and a fabulous stay if you’re willing to deal with all the critters!
