I am pleased to write this review on Rick and Inga's cottage. We are originally from Hawaii and typically stay in Waikiki when we come back home to visit. What a nice change to stay in the country this time. The drive to and from the cottage afforded spectacular views of the ocean daily. Staying in their cottage in Haleiwa gave us the peace and quiet we were looking for. The accommodations was just perfect. When you first enter the unit, you will be awed by the vaulted wooden ceiling, and open floor plan. It has updated modern amenities such as stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, and he washer and dryer, as well as clean cabinetry with all the bells and whistles (pull out shelves, lazy Susan, lighted cabinetry). The kitchen is fully functional in case you wanted to cook a full meal. Also the water source is reverse osmosis, as well as filtered drinking water. There is a pantry that holds anything you would need for the beach, such as beach chairs, umbrella, mats, sunglasses, hats, scuba/snorkel gear. The entire living room is filled with huge picture windows which opens to a lovely garden and lush landscaping. The entire unit is filled with lots of available lighting. There is a lot of comfortable seating areas to read a book or browse magazines provided. The furnishings and decor were absolutely charming, antique chic. My husband really enjoyed the daily showers outdoor. It was nice to wash off all the sand from the beach equipment and ourselves before entering the property. The TV room was very cozy and comfortable. There was enough pillows, towels, extra blankets, paper supplies, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies available. What made it even more exceptional was the warmth, and Aloha that Rick and Inga had showed us when they welcomed us. They were very friendly and showed genuine care for us and our needs. We would highly recommend this place and would consider staying again.
