The cottage was a short drive from the airport. It’s on the north side of the island which is more tropical than the other parts and we visited them all. It’s absolutely breath taking up in Haiku. We had everything we needed to enjoy our week. Ice chest, beach chairs, beach towels, coffee maker, outdoor shower to rinse off. The cottage was super clean and very cozy. The ad states no AC and being from Arizona, we were slightly worried. But the coastal breeze keeps the cottage so cool. Short walk to the grocery store and Colleen’s for food service. About 7 minutes from Ho’opika which we stopped and swam and watched the windsurfers. The only advice I can offer is put ALL of your food in the fridge. Lots of critters including ants. We learned the hard way after stocking up on food only to wake up to find them enjoying all of it and having to throw it all out. It tells you in the house manual but out of sheer excitement, we didn’t read it at first! Lol.
You will not be disappointed in this rental. Ally is super accommodating and even checked in a few times to see how we were doing. As long as this cottage is available, we won’t book anything else for future trips!
