If you're looking to experience Big Island like a local then this cottage is for you. It's a quick 10 minutes to the airport and a good location for exploring the beaches or going hiking in the cloud forest. Great sunset views too. No wine and earplugs for our stay but the host did say they had recently switched their local help so maybe they are still getting up to speed. Also the overall cleanliness was not great but Maria & Shaheer were very responsive and quick to correct. One other note is that the listing says 8 guests but for the additional 2 that won't be able to use a bed we could only find an air mattress - just something to note if you plan on a larger group staying. It works well for little ones but we had a teenager who was not happy about it. We received a Google Doc with lots of useful local tips.
