My wife and I made this our base for our Honeymoon trip to the Big Island. After traveling as much island as we could, I can't find a place I'd rather stay than right here at the Bali Cottage. The Park right down the street is amazing all times of day for sunbathing or excellent snorkeling and isn't overly populated due to parking constraints. The cottage itself was perfect to relax and sleep, open air but enough fans to keep us cool during the hotter parts of the day. Karen has a kayak we took out for a spin and some snorkeling gear we were able to use. Excellent place located in a little slice of heaven, highly recommended. I will note there is a LOT of nonthreatening and mostly unobtrusive wildlife running around (spiders, lizards, ants, bees, mongoose) if you're not into that kind of thing. Didn't phase us at all.
