Greeted by welcoming decor, amenities and the sound of crashing waves through the screen windows (no glass, just framed in screens). Ahhh. Time to relax.
This is the epitome of magnificent beach living; simple but comfortable. And really? It's not about the cottage, it's about what's in front of the cottage. A large patio equipped with table, chairs, umbrella and chaise lounges provide the perfect outdoor living space in which to appreciate your surroundings. Waves crash against the rocks right in front of you. The beautiful bay stretches out to your right and if you're lucky, spinner dolphins will be out there in the morning. Drop everything, grab a kayak and GO.
Our onsite hostess was Amma and she was terrific. She was attentive without being intrusive and valued our privacy as much as we did. She answered all of our questions and provided helpful information we hadn't even thought of. We were also lucky enough to meet Dave, one of the owners. He was our on-shore dolphin guide and had recommendations for the rest of our trip on the Big Island. Mahalo!
The worst part of the visit was leaving. We only had three nights here and it was very hard to leave. We will be back on our next trip to Hawai'i Island.
