If you have a chance to stay here during your trip to the Big Island, do it! Everything about our stay here was wonderful and we so wish we could’ve stayed longer than we did. We loved waking up to that breathtaking view every morning and picking our own fruit for breakfast. I think we made avocado toast just about every morning we were there 😅
The cottage itself was perfect for a couple and Dan & Paula thought of everything you might need while there! The kitchenette was fully stocked and had a hot plate/toaster oven/microwave/coffee pot. There was a grill on the porch (near to the ever so relaxing soaking tub). They even provided beach chairs and towels for when we decided to venture westward for the day.
As far as weather goes, it would rain on and off throughout the morning in short spurts and usually at night as well. It was so relaxing to fall asleep to the rain. It’s also nice and cool up there at night, so even though there’s no air conditioning I promise you will be comfortable! I’m usually always hot at night but the ceiling fan and floor fan kept me very comfortable. I had to actually turn the floor fan off the first night because we woke up freezing.
There are quite a few mosquitos, so if the mosquitos love you like they love me be sure to bring repellant! We wore it when we would hang out outside or go pick fruits and all was fine. The cottage also has screens behind each sliding door and windows so that you can still enjoy the breeze without being eaten alive!
We so enjoyed our stay here, it was truly a highlight of our trip. Hopefully we can be back someday!
