There were only three little things about this rental I would change, and I changed one of them myself. First, there is only one mirror in the place and that is in the bathroom. My wife suggested another mirror in the bedroom where she could put on make-up. Next, the coffee maker was a little four cup coffee maker. The first morning I had to make four rounds of coffee for three of us. I went into town and purchased a large 12 cup coffee maker and left it there for future travelers. Now it is awesome! Finally, the internet connection is spotty. Your Wi-Fi router is actually in the little house next door and getting a signal in the cottage, especially the bedroom, is spotty. I had zero cell phone coverage at the cottage so I needed Wi-Fi to connect to the outside world. I hope Andre buys a Wi-Fi booster to increase the signal to the other houses. Also, one night another couple checked in and promptly turned off the router which left us with zero Wi-Fi for the night and early the next morning. A sign telling the people in the house with the router, telling them not to turn it off, would be great. Now the positives, and there are tons. The cottage is remote. It is about 20 minutes from Pahala, the closest small town. It is about 40 minutes from Hilo. There are plenty of restaurants in Pahala, a couple of grocery stores, a couple of gas stations, a pharmacy, a Burger King and Subway, and a lot of hippies. It feels like a throwback to the 1970's and we loved it. But as mentioned above there was no cell signal for Sprint, or any tower it could get a signal from. Thus the need for a powerful Wi-Fi signal so you can use Wi-Fi calling on the phone. The place was clean and spacious and beautiful. The lanai overlooked the ocean, which was across the street, and Andre was extremely responsive when we needed thing like toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels (we were there 8 or 9 days). They live about a mile away and the response time to any issue was quick and they resolved them. Swimming anywhere on the big island usually involves lava and thunderous waves and very little sand, except in Kona. However, there is the clothing optional black sand beach about 20 steps across the street from the cottages and the sand is beautiful, although it did take some effort to get to the bottom and the beach. Down the road eight miles is a tide pool that is heated by a volcano outlet. The water is extremely calm, very warm, and there are fish to see if you snorkel. Down the road three miles in the other direction is Uncle Roberts which happens every Wednesday night and is a concert/flea market/food fair and drinking spot. There is almost any type of food imaginable here and...
