What a special part of the Big Island and great location. The cottage was simple and met our needs. Andre and Susan gave us good advice to do our food shopping in Hilo before coming because nothing much there. Very easy place to feel away from it all, even when Kilauea was on the verge of erupting and fissures nearby were spewing lava. Andre kept us informed throughout which was appreciated. If you want to be a bit off the grid right off the ocean during you Big Island stay, this is the place. We will definitely be back!
