If you want to relax on the south end of the big island close to some great natural wonders, this is the place for you. Our family rented both cottages for a week and loved the convenience to the Hana Hou restaurant next door and Panalu'u bakery across the street. Patty was a great host, providing ice each day and advice for places to see. Directly across the street is a road going up the mountain for beautiful views of the coast. Whittington Beach Park is minutes away. The Panalu'u Black sand beach is 10 minutes away and the road to south point is close in the other direction. Volcano National Park is about an hour up the road and there's plenty to see and do there. Patty provided access to a washer/dryer to help with our laundry. We enjoyed sitting in the private yard behind the cottages to start and end our days. Thankfully, the restaurant opened at 8am, because the kitchen noise would have been hard to sleep through,but we actually got used to it. The bath rooms are clean and hot water worked well. To top it all off, there's a grocery store across the street for whatever you need and the USA's southern most bar a few blocks away. This is a great deal for the price.
