Cheries place is the BEST. We booked our entire stayed at Cheries as it allowed us to be able to travel up and down Kona side and Hilo side without feeling like we were going in 1 direction too far. The Cottage is in the town of Naalehu with the famous Punalu'u Bakery and Punalu'u Black Sand Beach! If you want to see the lava at Volcanoes you're close enough too for a late night drive too!
The Cottage is as pictured and there's everything you need,seriously! There's an assortment of chargers at the ready. So many towels and washcloths!
The kitchen was stocked yall, like I super appreciated not having to worry about coffee because Cherie already had it ready for ya!
The place was super clean and you can tell Cherie has thought of everything for your stay. There's beach gear - chairs, if you forgot some flip flops, tons of beach towels, snorkel gear, floaties and even hiking poles!
Although there isn't any AC, it wasn't an issue because there are ceiling fans throughout and seriously keep you cool. We loved sleeping with the fans on and windows open - the most relaxing as our Cottage didn't have any street noise!
There is also an awesome Pomelo tree out back that Cherie let me pick which was a highlight as it's a favorite of mine!
I also noticed laundry out back but I didn't use it as I brought plenty.
I also found Cherie and her husband to be super communicative and respectful of us as my wife and I enjoyed our alone time and venturing all over the island.
All in all, book your stay now!!
