Overall, we have had a wonderful stay. The property is gorgeous, the cottage is cozy and mainly quiet, and we feel incredibly lucky to have spent time here while on the Big Island. The cottage is well-equipped with a few basics missing--some more minor than others--e.g., microwave, baking sheets, and a small cooler for day trips (there is a large cooler bag, but it was often much larger than what we needed). The cottage can get musty, so be sure to run the dehumidifier and ask for the space fan. While there are large picture windows to facilitate views of the beautiful grounds, only small portions open on most of them, which can make the room feel a bit warm and stale if there isn't a very strong breeze. Also note that the cottage connects to the main house, so while you have privacy via fences and landscaping, you are not alone on the property and the cottage is not free-standing. These are just a few things we thought long-term renters like us may want to know. None of this would have changed our mind about staying at the cottage. We really loved the surrounding area of Wood Valley and the gorgeous Punalu'u beach, which is about a 17-20 minute drive away. There is also a well-equipped "superette" in Pahala, about 7-8 minutes from the cottage, a gas station, a small pharmacy, and a coffee shop. We highly recommend the rental and encourage folks to take advantage of all the natural beauty the area has to offer!
