Cottage was so Hawaiian and comfortable for me and my 2 grown daughters. I could walk to Teds for coffee in the morning and we could all easily walk 5 minutes to sunset beach. We rented bikes also to take advantage of the bike path right across the highway.
There are neighbors in the back that use same driveway but it wasn’t an issue. The roosters do start crowing pretty early but it’s part of being in Hawaii bc the feral chickens are everywhere. And yes we could hear some traffic, but nothing crazy like living in a city.
Anderson was very helpful - visited us the same day when we couldn’t figure out the TV and the lights/fans.
All in all I highly recommend the cottage and would stay here again.
