The area around the cottage was lovely and peaceful. There was a bit of confusion about where to park but Doug was there to greet us when we arrived and clarified where to park. I will say that the wifi was pretty spotty since I believe it's connected to the main house. Fortunately, I didn't have to do any work during my trip and we were mostly out of the house during the day. We also unfortunately stayed during the coldest and rainiest time in Hawaii, so the cottage was a bit chilly. I don't believe heaters or space heaters are a thing in Hawaii, but Doug provided us with some extra blankets so we were very grateful and cozy at night. The bed was super comfy and overall we enjoyed our stay.
