Elizabeth, her husband, and their neighbors are very friendly. Everyone was helpful with advice on places to go and things to do in the area. They have a bunch of snorkeling gear, a couple sea kayaks, surfboards and other gear that they were happy to let us borrow. Elizabeth brought us delicious bananas, and star fruit from hers and her neighbor's trees. She also had fresh fruits, cold waters, and freshly picked Hawaiian flowers waiting for us in the cottage on arrival. The cottage has so much character! There were bright little geckos outside to greet us (and a few inside too which helps with the bugs). The exotic bird sounds from the neighbor's birds did not bother us at all...they made it seem more tropical, if that's possible. Everything we needed for grilling was there! There are a few games, and a very cool collection of books! Elizabeth is really an amazing host! Their dog Lola is a sweetheart too! The pictures do not do their private beach justice at all. It is seriously breathtaking!
