The description of the cottage is very accurate. The place is super clean and convenient both to Kailua and to the beaches of the Kohala Coast. Yet, it is far from the frenzy of packed tourist crowds. It may be cloudy in the afternoons but the mornings are sunny and we had some beautiful sunsets as well. Most afternoons we were at the beach or exploring other parts of the island. The kitchen is small but adequate. I was concerned about just having a countertop Cuisinart oven, but it worked out just fine. There was a nice array of spices for cooking. Communication with the hosts is fantastic as they live next door. There was a power surge the day we arrived which took down the internet and locked us out of the cottage. Karen and Chad responded immediately, getting both problems resolved quickly. The hot tub is a great addition for hikers as it is both relaxing and therapeutic at the end of the day. Thank you Karen and Chad for a nice home away from home.
