A bit off the beaten path, this was just what I was looking for. Leave the porch door open and fall asleep and wake to the sound of the turf. Just yards away is a great overlook from which to catch the sunrise with a fresh cup of coffee and also the access trail down to the Kehena black sand beach. The beach (clothing optional) attracts an eclectic mix of locals and travelers. Fortunately, the cottage has private, off-the-street parking.

The cottage is clean and well-kept. Wifi, fridge, an outdoor grill, and coffee maker provided the essentials for a quick getaway. There's easy access from the cottage to a lava flow outcrop, tidal pools, and several other beaches. There's good cellphone service less than a mile away (right as you exit the property).

Susan and Andre were just a phone call away and always helpful with directions, suggestions, and other information. Hope to return in the future.
