Reviewer Comments:
The location is perfect for a couple's getaway, you can't be closer to the ocean and the cottage was perfect for two of us. While the couch is also a pull out bed, it may be a bit cramped for 4 persons, unless it is just two kids (but then you don't really have much place to be inside the cottage if the couch is pulled out). Overwhelmingly positive experience with only the couple of negatives that were cited in many of the prior reviews (e.g. no surprises). On the positives, amazing location and views (and the waves crashing on the rocks), quaint cottage, lots of outdoor space for eating and relaxing (nice gas grill and patio furniture), nicely decorated in hawaiian style, newish appliances and everything worked as intended and plenty of kitchenware, etc., lots of gear so you don't have to rent (beach towels, chairs, snorkel gear, rock shoes, boogie boards, a couple of costco longboards, cooler bag, etc.), bed was very comfortable, wifi worked great if you have to be on it (we didn't turn on tv or use netflix, etc., not our thing in Hawaii). While a bit tricky, I paddled out to surf break right in front of house every day from rock pile in front of cottage, mainly a long boarding spot so costco soft tops were fine. Sandy beach/snorkel/surf area (bay) is a 5 min walk south, Magics is a 20 min walk north. Only couple of negatives (minor in my view) are no AC (it got surprisingly hot, even with all the fans going, and I am pretty tolerant of heat) and some island roaches (management is on top of it, you are in the tropics so it is what it is). Amazing place and I would definitely recommend to couples! Hopefully will be back again soon for a longer stay!
