This is a beautiful little cottage, well furnished and equipped--very good bed which is critical.
Distance to beach and steepness of path is a big drawback. This is a view cottage, not functionally beachfront. View and privacy are terrific. Construction quality is first rate but functionality of kitchen is not optimal.
Kilauea is a nice little town with a restaurant, excellent fish market/lunch spot, small market at Crossroads and a few boutiques and specialty shops. The 20 minute drive to Hanalei for more options is fine during the day but a little stressful at night.
This is a perfect spot for a couple who want privacy and a view.
