This little cottage is super clean and cute. It’s a studio, with a partial wall dividing the sleeping and bathroom area from the living and kitchen areas. The owners have maximized the usable space so it doesn’t feel small, and it felt new and fresh when we walked in. The kitchen includes a hot and cold water dispenser, so filling water bottles to take on our adventures was easy. Coffee drinkers will appreciate the K-cup style coffee maker and the provided pods. The living area has a leather couch that reclines with buttons and a TV that was big enough to enjoy but didn’t dominate the room. The bed was big and had a wonderful mattress, and the shower was roomy and modern. It was nice to have LED lights that could adjust separately for the two main areas, and the white noise machine made it easy to sleep near someone who snores. The hosts were very nice and helpful, responding instantly to my questions and offering fresh towels and anything else we might need. They gave us complete privacy, even though we were next door to them. The location is less than 15 minutes from just about anything in the area: snorkeling, surfing, food, airport, boat tours… and an easily walkable half-mile from the beach. Next time we need a place to stay on the Big Island, we will look for this place first!
