My husband and I felt very welcome when we arrived to this part of Hawaii. The description on airbnb and the website is spot on.
The area is beautiful with many many tropical plants and trees as well as the beautiful blue ocean. The black sand beach was fantastic. What a contrast the striking blue ocean and white surf against the black sand! There is so much to do just with in 10 miles. There are warm pools that are great for snorkeling. You can explore the lava fields , but don't forget the amazing Kilauea which is about 40 miles away.
Back to the Bali Cottage....It was perfect and has all the amenities that anyone needs. There is a lovely downstairs living room and kitchen (with everything you need to cook if you choose). Up stairs is a romantic bedroom and bathroom. There is a great balcony upstairs, where you can sit and relax (maybe with a glass of wine) and enjoy the view of the Pacific!
Also available are beach towels, snorkeling gear, water shows and coolers. There wasn't anything missing. Oh I almost forgot , there is a nice hammock and hot tub that are both very private.
The hosts have a great book detailing things to do and places to eat.
We found this very helpful.
My husband and I will come back!
Mohalo!
