Sadly we were not terribly impressed during our stay at the "Dolphin Cottage." The unit is one of three properties on the lot, and is not the master unit. This means that per Hawaii law, the owner would need to pay additional taxes in order to make the other two units on the property full rental homes. The solution reached by the owners of this property is to only provide a sink in the main unit and not in the other two. They advertise a "food prep area" not a kitchen in their ad...this is true, but it's very hard to prep any food without a sink in the kitchen. There is a sink outside, but it's not nearly as convenient.
We only stayed one night and found that it was easier to eat out at the fantastic Kaleo's in Pahoa, than try to cook without a sink.
The unit was OK, but seemed a bit thrown together.
There was no hot water for our showers in the morning which was quite disappointing...
