This is a charming, funky place to stay. It is a short walk to incredible ocean activities such as snorkeling, SUP and kayaking. The nearby ocean access is widely considered the best snorkeling and diving locations in the state of Hawaii. The Bali cottage is nestled in a tropical setting near the coast. The cottage is not completely enclosed, so bugs and some rain can enter. It rained hard the night we stayed there and we were completely comfortable in the sleeping area. We didn’t mind a few wet spots in a few areas. Bug spray is provided because there were mosquitoes on property. The cottage has ample fans to help create airflow that deters the little buggas. The decor is amazing. The surfboard collection is awesome, I was highly tempted to make some offers on a few of them. There are many lamps, unique decorations and furnishings. The outdoor lighting was charming. We really appreciated it’s uniqueness. We found the outdoor kitchen well
stocked with updated appliances. It does appear to be a work in progress, living in Hawaii does require constant maintenance. This experience isn’t probably for people who are expecting a sparkling clean resort but this is a great place if you are looking for something different and want to explore the Kealakekua Bay and surrounding area.
