It was five star for us. We had chirping birds, and a great view of the water with whales leaping with Maui in the background. The cottage, with its small, simple kitchen was charming and adequate for us. Although Linda and Marty live right next door, we had complete privacy. However, it would not be five star for anyone who expects a modern unit with fully appointed kitchen and inside dining table. And, if it were raining hard, it would be necessary to stay inside to be out of the rain, where dining would be cramped, and one would get wet getting to the bath house. In sum, it was our most cherished place among the five places that we stayed at during our vacation, but it is not necessarily the best place for everyone or in all weather conditions.
