Fabulous cottage right by the most beautiful beach on the island. The reviews are true. Great Lanai complete with table, chairs and a reading/napping bed:) Loved the outdoor shower. Grateful for the A/C. Private and comfortable. Walked to the beach (yes 3 min) and to town. We hope to be back soon!!! Oh, and do not miss Holy Grail donuts.

Lovely property for a couple. Clean, comfortable, and an easy walk into town. Beach access is much closer. We would book it again.

Amazing, relaxing, beautiful....Everything you want in a true Hawaiian experience. The bungalow surpassed our expectations. Clean, walking distance to pier and village. Mahalo!

Really enjoyed walk-in to the beach from the house and being near enough to walk to shops and restaurants. Town has everything needed for a stay. Having air conditioning and fans was a bonus. Property well supplied with towels. Basic condiments helped. Fridge had water dispenser. Basic toiletries and hairdryer also available.

We had a lot of rain but the Lanai was heaven and access to the beach was close. The cottage could not have been any cuter. The kitchen counter space is limited but it just was a matter of getting used to. We can’t wait to return.
