Bananarama cottage was amazing. It was cute, private, and quiet. The living room and kitchen were spacious and stocked with everything you need (fridge, coffee and coffee maker, stove, microwave, utensils, couch, tv, etc). There is a window AC unit in the living room that cools the entire place very shortly. The bed was SO comfortable - the only downside is it was a bit squeaky, but nothing that kept us up through the night. The attached bathroom is an added bonus. We absolutely loved it.
The only downside is location. Aside from a black sand beach and hot springs, there is not much to that’s close by. Plan on driving a lot - ex: Kilauea, Maunakea, and Hilo are all 1-1.5 hours one way. Also, if you didn’t do your research, expect rain almost daily. Can get a bit dreadful.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend. The place was better than we could have imagined!
