I can only write 1000 characters but would like double that because we were so disappointed by this place and would like people to know details of what to expect.
The host can get away with over charging for surf cottage/shack because of location to Hanalei. Not worth more than $200/night. No where in the description does it say the windows have ZERO glass, just screens! Two windows don't have covers at all, so the big house right next door looks right down into your bedroom. There is no door/curtain between the kitchen and the bedroom. Luckily, I had a sarong we hung up in the doorway. Stayed there during the recent big storm and had no way of keeping the cold wind/rain out. Felt like glamping for $350/night :( Also an ant infestation in the bathroom - again - no glass windows you will have bugs - lots and lots of bugs who come through the screens. Woke up eaten by bugs. Mattress looked at least 25 yrs old - super hard & uncomfortable. Won't be renting this place in future.
