If you are looking to come to Hawaii and experience the island just like the locals do, then start by staying at Chewy's cottage. Her cottage was super clean and had all of the amenities you needed if you wanted to cook a few meals and had plenty of clean water to drink. The outdoor shower was the best part of the cottage, it was private, had nice warm water and she provided all of the shampoo/soap or clean towels if you need. An additional nice touch are the fruit trees in the back, if you need fresh limes they were right there if you needed them. Chewy also lives next door which is really helpful because we got to talk to her about places to see or eat and all of her recommendations were spot on. There is a choir of frogs who sing at night but we actually found it helpful to fall asleep. Overall, we were pleased with our choice in staying at Chewy's. She was a great host that provided everything and anything you needed and a lovely person to talk to that knows all of the good spots to visit on the island.
