Buck (and Winter the amazing co-host cat) was an amazing host! Great hospitality, made us feel right at home! This little cottage was the perfect Hawaiian getaway, with the beautiful view of the ocean from the lanai, the comfortable bed, open air design, Hawaiian decorations, beautiful gardens and partial outdoor yet private shower with lava rocks. It's very secluded and the coqui frogs sing you right to sleep each night.
This cottage is a must. We regret staying in a hotel the first night of our stay on the big island, this place has such an authentic Hawaiian feel with its natural beauty and location. We wish we could've stayed longer!
Buck gave great recommendations for things to do/see during our stay, all within 30 minutes of the cottage. The Kapoho tide pools (Buck had snorkeling gear for us), Kahena black sand beach (2 minute drive away), Uncle Robert's market on Wednesday nights, Kalapana lava ocean viewing are all a must do/see.
