We really wanted to love this unique accommodation, located off the beaten path in a neighborhood on the south end of the Big Island. And yes, it was charming and cute, located on a hillside with a view of the ocean and surrounded by lush greenery and the screened-in lanai was wonderful. But this “off the grid” cottage had some issues. The seating in the main room was horrifically uncomfortable, the stove was problematic (needed to light the burners with a lighter), and the shower was a somewhat harrowing experience, alternating between very cold and scalding hot. The water pump was LOUD – flushing the toilet woke everybody up in the middle of the night. The bed in the main bedroom made sleep challenging as we sank into the middle of the worn-out mattress. The parking was very problematic. The guy who was staying in the lower tiny cabin had to have a neighbor tow him out of the parking spot which was very steep and soft.
