Our wonderful experience at the Bali Cottage, was beyond what my wife and I ever could have imagined. From the outdoor shower to the best sleep we have ever had, anywhere! Karen was very welcoming, genuine, and very resectful of our privacy. She responded to our questions/requests promptly before and during our stay. We enjoyed our many conversations with her as well. She and her husband have mantained this place and the tropical garden/yard beautifully. The location is perfect for traversing the island. Manini beach is wonderful, and extremely close. If you rent an kayak make sure you rent from a legal company. Don't let illegal rental companies/"people with kayaks" overtake this wonderful seaside neighborhood. We had no problems with mongoose, cleanliness, or amenities. Everything was top notch. There are beach chairs, snorkel equipment, a cooler, beach towels, bug spray/candles, etc. Lastly, this place is not for everyone, but those who are open for an unforgettable and true Hawaiian experience this is the place for you. Thanks again Karen, we will see you soon.
