Kevin and Rachel's cottage is set back in a wooded area of their property. It's a nice setup with an outdoor shower and bathroom, privacy, and a cute, intimate interior. Rachel and Kevin were both a pleasure to chat with and clearly cared about our comfort.
During the first night of our stay, we met "Bob the Anole" (name chosen by me) on the ceiling of our cabin. With some word-smithing, I convinced my frightened girlfriend that "Bob" is a friend — Gecko's eat insects and other undesirables, and I assured her he would not drop on her during her sleep. They keep to themselves.
I was unable on our second night, however, to convince her that "Steve the cockroach" (also chosen by me) that fell into our bed in the middle of our sleep was similarly allied with us. We were unable to sleep after this event, and sadly, we opted to cut our stay in Hilo short and booked a last-minute flight to Oahu to end our trip on a more positive note.
