Rob and Bob were wonderful hosts. You can really tell they put a lot into making sure their guests are comfortable and have everything they need.

They provided snorkel masks and beach towels which typically rent for quite a lot! And the (very) local bananas were delicious. We were lucky enough to be able to try three different types.

The kitchen had everything we would need. But as some other folks said, it's not a full (American) size fridge so don't stock up too much. The bed was very comfy. The porch was AMAZING! The screen kept the majority of the bugs out and breakfast with a small view of the ocean was wonderful.

The cottage is not super close to a lot of stuff, but we went to 3 snorkeling beaches (Kona side too) and found the Kapoho tide pools 30 minutes away to be the best. The nude- and family-friendly black sand beach 20 minute walk away was in shade after 11am or so and was one of our favorites as well. AND, the lava is flowing into the ocean for the first time in years, just a 10 minutes drive from the cottage.

I'd recommend staying here to anyone who wants a quiet place, near the ocean, and doesn't mind driving a bit to see the sights.
