Wow, this was really like being in paradise. Beautifully decorated cottage amidst lush and tropical surroundings with amazing ocean views. How fantastic to wake up every morning to birds chirping and look up from bed to see the vast pacific ocean! Falling asleep every night to coqui frogs. (it was rough the first night but you really do get used to it!) The deck was amazing with plenty of seating, a soaking tub and grill. Everything we needed was provided to have a comfortable stay. Not much ripe fruit to pick yet from the orchard but it just wasn't the right time, however, the orchard was lovely to walk through and see all the different trees. There was some construction near the property but it wasn't too annoying as we were gone most of the day anyway. The views of the stars at night were unbelievable!! Paula was very nice, communication was timely and she gave us all the privacy we needed. Just a minute stroll to a beautiful waterfall. Hike to Waipio lookout and down into the majestic Waipio Valley, but make sure you have a ride back up the hill, it was a killer! Short trip to Honoka'a for a few nice little cafes, groceries, shopping, catch a movie, gas etc. Waimae was a little further drive about 30 minutes but they had more restaurants, options for groceries, laundromat, etc. I highly recommend this cottage and will definitely stay here again in the future. Mahalo!
