A great place to get away from the more crowded areas of Hawaii. The cottage is set in a private neighborhood, across the street from a small community beach and down the road a bit from a kayak rental. Jump in the ocean any time you want. Kayak over to the Cook Monument to snorkel but do it earlier in the day before the tour boats arrive.The City of Refuge and Two Step beach are four miles down the road - great historical park and more snorkeling often with dolphins if you are into that. All that and one of my all time favorite front porches. Good place to sit and do nothing.
