The Sunrise Cottage is a gem. We were in Hawaii for 11 nights, and this was a favorite place. You can see the ocean from the lanai, and the lava is right down the road. We arrived on a Wednesday, which was fortunate because there is a night market right down the road... music and food and drinks and crafts.. it was a perfect way to arrive and fight the urge to sleep at EST. :)
Buck's coffee was delicious and he was super helpful with suggestions. He even gave us a snorkel tutorial, which was very helpful and might be the reason snorkeling is my new favorite thing. :) We hope to come back, and stay much longer!
