The Aloha cottage was a great place to stay and a very convenient location. The beach was nice to sit and watch the whales in the distance and during low tide, you could walk along the beach and play in the water. The community was very nice and friendly as well.
The kitchen was well stocked with spices, oil, lots of cooking utensils, pans and even some food storage containers, though I would recommend buying some zip lock bags if you plan to pack lunches to bring on your daily adventures. The fridge had an ice maker which was great as well.
The living room area and reading nook were awesome. My kiddos made little forts in the nook and under the stairs. The decor throughout was very nice as well. There were plenty of blankets and bath towels available and 6 large beach towels.
The master bedroom was nice and the blackout curtains were nice to have as well. The bedroom, living room and upstairs fans kept us nice and cool as well.
The bathrooms were cute and met our needs and we didn't have any issues with running out of hot water.
The upstairs reading nook and tv area were a hit with the kids. They loved the large bean bags too.
The lanai was amazing and the traffic noise really wasn't an issue. We barely noticed it. We ate most meals out there and it was a great combination of sun and shade with the part that was covered and the retractable umbrella. The community was nice an laid back and everyone was polite. The cottage was close to one of the pools and a quick walk down to the beach as well.
The beach accessories were so wonderful to have as well. 4 portable beach chairs, a very large hard cooler and a smaller hard cooler as well as a couple of soft coolers which were great for drinks. There were several boogie boards, 4 sets of snorkel equipment, some pool noodles, a floaty and some balls. It was great not to worry about renting this stuff while on the island.
We had a couple of questions during our stay and Ryan was quick to respond and super friendly. Overall, we had a great stay and would book again.
Mahalo!
