The cottage is absolutely fabulous. The location is great - very centrally located between the Upcountry towns and the North Shore beaches and communities. The furnishings, amenities, and decor are all beautiful and obviously done with great care (and fun!). Everything is comfortable enough to feel right at home, but also luxurious enough to feel like you're on retreat. The birds every morning are crazy with their songs, and the views across the valley and island are stunning. There is some road noise, but we got used to it. Take the tour - it's completely worth it and you'll see a slice of Hawaii that visitors rarely ever see anymore...right in your own backyard. This place is a little slice of heaven. We'll be back!
