My husband and I had our honeymoon here - it is indeed a very special place. We stayed in cottage 4 and felt very safe. For this cottage, there are indeed no shared walls so it felt very private. If you utilize common sense, the ants are not a problem at all. In the description of the place, it discusses that this is a rustic cottage and that there are animals on the premises. We did not have a problem with this at all and found the whole cottage community very charming. I've seen some reviews complaining about the parking - we rented a car and were able to find free parking on the street without issue for our whole 10-day stay. In fact, Tommy greatly helped us on our first day find free parking and know where to go/what to do. Check-in and check-out were easy and the expectations were very reasonable. The prime reason to come here is that you're able to stay in a quiet, rural location in Oahu and be located literally right next to the beach. We watched a gorgeous sunrise right from waimanolo beach. If you want to experience what Oahu is really about on your vacation and really get into the culture/magic outside of the city of Waikiki, this is a perfect place to stay. I'll never forget our time here - thank you!
