Matt was an excellent host, in every way. He responded promptly to all my questions, was welcoming and caring. I arrived just ahead of the tropical storm, and he, and his manager, Laura, did everything they could to make me feel safe and comfortable. Matt called to make sure I arrived safely, and Laura felt more like an old friend than a property manager! The Rainforest Cottage was perfect for me. It was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated ( including beautiful fresh flowers), and much care had been taken to make everything "user-friendly" and anticipate a guest's every need. The outdoor shower is heavenly. Although the cottage is in a quiet and safe subdivision, the yard surrounding the cottage made it feel as if I were in the middle of a lush forest filled with flowers and birds--wonderful privacy with the convenience of kind neighbors and the amenities of Pahoa nearby. Aloha spirit is alive and well at the cottage ----Mahalo Nui to Matt and Laura!
