This cottage was cute and comfortable, but had some quirks. For one, if you have mobility issues this one will be hard for you because to access the cottage you have to walk up a very steep and rocky hill with your bags. Other than that, checkin was great and easy - and they were very communicative! The actual cottage was clean and beautiful - the bed area was nice and cozy and surrounded by windows. That said, I felt like it was probably possibly people in the other two homes on the property could see into my bedroom area because there were no shades (not that I wanted to block the view or Hawaiian sun!) ... but being so close to other cottages and able to hear them talk made it feel less private. I was staying there alone, I don't know if I'd want to stay there as a couple for privacy reasons. The outdoor shower was great - I wish they provided some basic shampoo, but that's an extra so I don't hold it against them! The kitchen was stocked with basics and leftover things from past guests like sunscreen and bug spray. It's a basic kitchen with one countertop burner, microwave and toaster oven, so be creative if you want to do full cooking here. That said, there was a grill for use as well which was nice. They also brought me fresh fruit from the property which was wonderful. I will say going between the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom was a bit annoying... you have to go up and down stairs to each area... and keep putting your shoes on and off (no shoes indoors) because the walking path is tiny lava stones/gravel with stepping stones in between which hurt to walk on barefoot. The place was very clean and I hesitate to write this part because it's Hawaii... but I did had some unfortunate run-ins with critters. I went to use the bathroom around 10pm one night and encountered at least 5 giant roaches... which flew at me... terrifying. There were lots of geckos in the cottage, but those didn't bother me because they are cute and scared of me. The roach problem is something common in Hawaii so I wouldn't say it's just this cottage... but it made it impossible for me to find the courage to go to the bathroom at night! Luckily they all disappeared when it was daylight. The location of the cottage was wonderful and easy to explore the coast of Kona and Captain Cook. The stay was lovely but just be weary of bugs at night :).
