The cottage is fantastic. The view, and especially sunsets, are beautiful. To be up on the hill is a little cooler and a little quieter, but you are still only a ten or fifteen minute drive to shops, restaurants, and the ocean.
The place is well laid out, from the carport that keeps your car from turning into a furnace, to the laundry area, to the super functional kitchen and living spaces; the bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable, and the outdoor spaces--shower, hot tub, lounge chairs, patio for eating--are just icing on the cake. On a property with a couple of other dwellings, it feels completely private and secluded, yet there is someone nearby if you need anything.
Speaking of whom, Anna was awesome: willing to help with tips or any supplies that might be lacking. Super laid back and flexible with anything we might have needed. And quick and easy to communicate with.
In short my stay was fantastic and this will be the first place I look to stay whenever I am lucky enough to get back to Hawai'i.
