Staying at this oceanfront cottage was great! The location was perfect - gorgeous views just steps away and far from the hustle of Hilo, plus easy access to the Volcano National Park (~1 hour away), and where we took a lava hike (just 15 minutes down the road, and our main reason for visiting the Big Island). The cottage is lovely, well-equipped and the lanai was wonderful. This cottage is situated fairly close to two other cottages on the property, so if you are sensitive to noise or looking for a remote getaway, this might not be the place for you. However, we did not spend much time in the cottage and the other guests did not bother us - plus this cottage is situated in a way to give you utmost privacy. My mom found the trail down to the beach right in front to be too difficult and the surf down there was a bit rough, but it was lovely to be so close to the ocean and many other beaches nearby. The hosts were wonderful, gave us some local tips, and it was really nice to have laundry on premises. Highly recommended!!
