We had a nice 5 days in Karla’s cottage-very private but close to the National Park. The place was perfect for two people and we could cook if we wanted to. Karla has beach equipment including chairs, snorkeling equipment, etc. and she also has a well stocked kitchen. While it is quite rural and there are many nighttime noises around you, we enjoyed being surrounded by plants, having a private lanai, and being close to sites in the Puna-Hilo area.
