May Rose Cottage is a magical garden wonderland. The place is tastefully appointed with everything you could possibly need and a few extra touches (i.e., somewhere to hang wet beach towels, swimsuits, and wetsuits outside). Spotlessly clean - everywhere. Everything works well (fans, AC, Wi-fi, streaming, all kitchen appliances, shower, etc) and we had marvelous home cooked meals after a day's scuba diving or exploring. The location is excellent - close to many things (including fabulous snorkeling and a great heritage site!) but far enough away to feel you are not staying in the middle of tourist mania. As other reviewers have mentioned, the photos really do not do this place justice. The garden is a marvel and we were compelled to photograph several of the exotic flowers. The sounds at night are a wonderful symphony of nature - frogs, geckos, etc (yes, the occasional car but barely noticed due to the nature symphony!).
John and Nat are great hosts - available but completely unintrusive and discreet. We did multiple days diving with all sorts of schedules (both day and night diving) and always enjoyed coming back to May Rose Cottage (there's an outdoor shower in the garden where you can rinse off salty gear!). We would highly recommend staying here. You really feel you are "living" in Hawaii versus just visiting.
