Lynda's beautiful cottage was perfect. We enjoyed morning coffee on the lanai while watching the sun rise. Loved sleeping on the screened-in porch while listening to the frogs and the rain on the roof at night.
The cottage is located close to nice black sand beaches (app 9 miles). I recommend a stop at the bakery in Pahoa on your way to Kilauea. Lynda had many good recommendations.
She is a gracious host. The chocolate she makes is super yummy and we learned a lot about chocolate making process.
