We really enjoyed staying in this fun and wild house. The cottage was made by the hosts, and is a sort of indoor-outdoor house, in a little beach neighborhood right by Captain Cook bay and great snorkeling.

The space is organized into 4: an open air front porch/kitchen, a livingroom, a bedroom, and an open air (but visually protected) bathroom. The house is a combination of Balinese carved wood panels that are outrageously beautiful and surfboards and various and sundry other fun tropical, Hawaiian things mixed in with structural elements like corrugated plastic for some of the roof. You could hear the ocean extremely well from the whole house, which was magical. It was all of about a half a block away.

You could walk to two community beaches, borrow a kayak to snorkel, and it was 3 miles from magnificent snorkeling beside the place of Refuge. It was also maybe a 15 minute drive to restaurants and grocery stores and the like, which were in the town just up the steep hill/cliffside. And we loved the coffee coop right up the road.

The hosts were nice and accommodating and tried to make everything good for us. Unfortunately, we could never get any hot water in the shower, which was disappointing at this price. I am quite sure that this will be fixed before the next time someone stays here. The only other thing travelers should be aware of is that the house isn't bug-proof, its quite open air. Compared to most places we've been it had surprisingly few bugs, but there was an enormous (harmless) spider and we did have some ants and caterpillars on the counter in our bedroom.

Overall, a fun and interesting place to spend an evening. We would have spent more time there if we could have.
