The pictures don't say enough! This rental was all our own surrounded by lush tropical trees, plants and a chorus of birds to go with! From the photos we thought the structure to the right was the main house or another cottage but it's the laundry facility and the outdoor shower overlooking the pool. The interior is so spacious and had everything you would need in the kitchen, including a Vitamix blender for smoothies or cocktails! In a closet we found beach towels and a quilted beach blanket. We loved the wood ceiling and having all the windows and doors open to take in the sounds and scents of the lush area. There is a nice rotating fan to help circulate a breeze through. You truly are as far south as you can get in a remote area. The beaches are picturesque but surf a bit rough. We enjoyed the outdoor market in Kalapana, the "hub" of the community. (Uncle Roberts Kitchen and Bar are rather primitive and outdoors but no sparing on the Aloha or yumminess of food and drinks.) We would have liked a curtain over the bathroom window to pull at night. There's a neighboring property that could have a view into the bathroom if they were exploring their property I suppose. If you are looking for a retreat to unplug and take in the beauty of the island, slow down your pace, and breathe this is the place for you. No cell service but for a few miles away but the cottage has wifi. Bring your own computer/tablet etc as their is no TV either. (We didn't need it) The geckos are adorable and enjoyed seeing them about. The birds are so incredible in their harmony and very active at night. I enjoyed it and found it easy to fall asleep too but my husband needed earplugs-they are loud! This was a delightful stay and recommend it highly! Mahalo for sharing this treat with us Ben!
