The view was amazing! The cottage has a full wall of glass doors that overlook the Waipio Valley. It was hard to leave to explore the island with such a great view.

The location was great. It was close enough to the Waipio Valley lookout to walk there (1/2 a mile) and make the trek down to the beach and back up.

I loved the quiet, remote setting. The only complaint was that the trade winds were just about non-existent (in all of Hawaii), so it got rather hot inside, but it cooled off in the night. It rained a few nights and hearing the rain on the roof was super calming.

If you are looking to stay on the Honokaa side of the island, highly recommend this piece of paradise!
