I highly recommend this cottage for its beautiful location, and the convenience of having a beach, snorkeling, and spectacular views just yards from your front door. Imagine sitting in warm turquoise water and everywhere you look are majestic views of sky, water, and volcanic islands, and a volcanic ridge looming over you right behind the cottage, and often not another soul in sight. In contrast, you could be on a resort beach where everywhere you look are hotel towers, retail shops, and crowds of people. My biggest regret is that we didn’t spend more time simply relaxing on the beach and lawn right there at this cottage.
The inside of the cottage got too warm and muggy for our taste, despite all the fans blowing, however the lanai was consistently cooler than the rest of the cottage, and was the most comfortable place to sleep because of that.
