Everyone needs to spend time at this beautiful cottage. It is so relaxing and peaceful, and every amenity is thought of. The quiet hospitality of this host makes you realize how much she appreciates the space that she has created. Sharing the amazing outdoor shower with geckos, smelling the most potent tropical flowers, listening to the fantastic Coqui frogs and Big Island rainstorms, and lounging on the black sand beaches (next to the stunning and heartbreaking lava flows) is a life-changing experience. Several great restaurants are close by as well as an eclectic local-run restaurant/cafe/ smoothie bar that welcomes everyone. Every single person that steps foot on the Big Island must come to Chewy’s paradise and feel the aloha that she has created. It is perfect and unmatched anywhere on these beautiful islands.
