The Pineapple Cottage greets you with a very secluded, private feel but Steve and Ivy have done much to immediately make you feel at home. We loved the special touches, from banana bread and chocolate-covered macadamia nuts to fresh flower arrangements and a well-stocked kitchen. No AC, but several fans and open windows keep it cool at night. So nice to have a washer and dryer as well! Enjoyed coming back every evening after a day of exploring. It really did give us a feel of the real Hawaii, away from the busy tourist attractions and resorts. Thanks for the excellent recommendations on where to go and what to see, Steve and Ivy! Plus, it was a bonus visiting with cute doggies every day.
