The pictures do not do the cottage justice. The place is amazing and the host goes above and beyond for the guests. We stayed here with our two boys, 12 and 10, and could not have asked for a better Hawaiian experience. The sounds around the cottage made it the best sleeping environment you could ask for. It is perfectly located for any adventure you could want on the east side of the Big Island. We are hoping to get back someday in the future. 5 stars is not enough!
