What a lovely cottage. In the evening, during the few hours while the roosters are asleep, it's quiet and tranquil. Although the crowing starts pretty early, you get used to it and start to appreciate all the other birds you can hear from the cottage at daybreak. Geckos frequently come to visit on the lanai, and there's a great reading selection in the living room. The location is a good point to base any south and west shore adventures.
