Simply stated, the Ipo Cottage is paradise on earth - I’m a solo female traveler (early 40s) and this was an amazing getaway. The cottage is pristine and has a laid back vibe and the most amazing, hot private shower outside where you can listen to birds and get a view of the luscious Forrest (protected land) that is bordering the cottage. Relax with full kitchen amenities, reliable island internet/tv, and enjoy the provided essential oil diffuser as you fall asleep to the sounds of the wind, ocean waves, birds and critters (some morning roosters too). Perfect location for 1-2 travelers. Dan is a wonderful host, very responsive and is able to offer some 10% discounts on island adventures if you’re interested in helicopter rides, etc. The location is unbeatable - tucked away in the North shore, enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning by walking across the street to the beach. Only a 10 min drive to pick up the island shuttle that will drop/pick you up at various must-see locations like Tunnels Beach, Ke’e beach and the Kalalua valley trail head. Island shuttle is awesome - only $35, will get you an all day shuttle pass and Kalalau state park pass (you can hike the first 2.5 Mi of the Kalalua trail which is spectacular and should not be missed; 5 miles round trip, bring your hiking boots!). Use the island shuttle as this will help reduce island traffic and vehicular emissions so that the beauty of the island can be shared by all. Can’t wait to come back again soon.
