The Zen cottage had a great island vibe. Close to the beach and only a few minutes away deon the grocery store in Waimea. Prices were a little lower than other places on the island, and even though the house was a little older it felt very homey and comfortable. As with all of the island the roosters are nearby to greet you in the morning. I would stay on this side of the island again at Zen Cottage if returning.
