Kaia and Darren are great hosts (they even shared fruit from their orchard), and the cottage is charming. We loved the great kitchen, very comfortable bed, roomy studio with high ceiling, the outdoor porch/lanai, the quiet at night and even the early morning roosters! (Bring ear plugs if you want to sleep past 5am). The location is secluded and quiet. The windows are mostly open air (screens rather than glass), but the fan works well to cool the room. The hosts live right next door but the view from the porch is private. Our only concern was with cleanliness and mildew in the bathroom, which the hosts are working to address -- it is hard to keep things clean in a rain forest!
