We were pleasantly surprise with the cottage. It was as described, even nicer than we expected. It was quiet and peaceful. You don't even hear the neighbors. It was clean and moderately updated, especially the bathroom. The bedroom was neat and comfortable. There are ceiling fans and large sliding widows that adds to the coolness of being on the hillside.
The futon in the living room allows for 2 additional guest that can share the cost. Its so doable with 4 but real comfortable with just 2. The town of Lanai is a very scenic walking distance from the house. I found the groceries to be very close to what I'd pay in Honolulu, so I probably wouldn't pack so much the next time. The kitchen is fully stocked, the only thing it didn't have was a rice cooker, but cooking it on the stove was not a problem.
Karen kindly left us eggs, bread and bananas, of which we did use and needed.
The house also has wifi, which was nice to have, especially since phone reception is intermittent in that part of the town.
We would definitely recommend the house....we already did to our friends in Lanai. We would definitely stay there again.
