We loved our night at the Dolphin cottage. It was such a lovely, bright, fresh space with a view of the ocean. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable.
Our hosts were quick to get back to us with great communication from beginning to end. They were very accommodating and flexible with helping us with both checking-in and check-out times so we could enjoy as much of our short time in the area that we could, which we really appreciated.
It was conveniently close to the entrance to see the lava viewing so it was great to only have to drive a few minutes back after a day of exploring and the trek in to see the lava flow at night. At the end of the street is a great little community area with Uncle's ( Ewa club) open air bar, a couple of little food bars and a general store. Just note that most of it closes around 9pm so if you are going to need food or supplies after that in the evenings make sure you pick it up before that or you will probably need to drive back in to town.
We relaxed at night on the front balcony with the sound of the ocean and field of stars. It's right across the street from where you can climb down to a beautiful black sands beach that seems to be a popular local spot. For those with young kids, the beach does seem to have strong rip tides so just check it out to know if it will fit your child's swimming skills before they go running in. A short drive away is a warm pool by the ocean that is perfect swimming for all ages.
We wish we could of stayed there a few days instead of just one night but hope we will be able to make it back there again some day.
Thank you Susan and and Andre for sharing your wonderful place.
