Willow’s place is a little slice of paradise. Locals warned me that ocean view wasn’t very safe and questioned why I was staying there, but Willow’s garden oasis is very secure and made me feel so comfortable. I loved the room, shower/outhouse, and general layout of the area. Rebooked for another night on my trip when I’ll be in this area.
Some things to note: this cottage has a metal roof and is very loud when it rains. It did wake me up but I’m a heavy sleeper and went right back to bed. Also, I heard car alarms and dogs barking at night, nothing the host can do about that. This was my first big island visit and this cottage is very close to green sand beach, coffee farms, and the Kahuku NP unit. Highly recommend stopping over here for part of your trip!
