    The checkin process was exchanging COVID vaccination information and getting the key code. Once I we unpacked and got groceries we felt like we were at home. The place was clean, safe and private. The TV broke and was replaced in less than 24 hours ! Great trip ! First in 1.5 years and would do it again in a heartbeat. The waves lulled us to sleep every night.

    The view from The Cottage is spectacular. Ocean right out the back door. The cleanliness, or lack thereof, is another story. Floors were extremely dirty and lots of cockroaches, alive and dead, inside the home. Great location, homes needs a thorough cleaning.

    We loved staying at this cottage. The lanai hangs right over the ocean - listening the the crashing waves and seeing the beautiful sunsets every night. Our favorite part was watching the surfers out in the bay and walking right the best snorkel beach on the island.

    I will attach my comments submitted to the other agency, but let me add that your short survey asked all the right questions, and we gave you full ratings. 1. You fully delivered on what you advertised. 2. Your management company was suberb.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was lovely and very convent for getting around. I went walking over to the bay park every morning to go for a snorkel ( only 4 houses down) and it was truly lovely. It was charmingly decorated,with a huge cal king bed that was super comfortable and a well supplied kitchen. The freezer ice maker worked great, I loved that there was a vita-mixer and coffee grinder so I could enjoy the fruits of the island. Loved the two person shower as well. The views are beautiful and I really enjoyed watching the surfers and yellow tang right from the deck or the lanai. I do have to mention that it is loud with the waves pounding on the rocks and hot and humid as the black lava rocks are heated by the sun all day and radiate back heat and moisture all night long. I hate a.c. but with the loud surf, heat and humidity it would be a great option to be able to close the doors and have air flow at night. It was an extra nice feature to find that the house had snorkel gear, two foam surfboards, beach chairs, towels, bags and a cooler for your use.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great, as always. My wife and I have been staying here for at least 12 years. However, this year we missed the old "Funky" doors. The renovations to the kitchen and bathroom were a pleasant surprise.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great. We were able to walk down to the bay each morning and snorkel. Believe we saw more fish/eel/sea turtles there than anywhere on Kauai or Hilo. The waves at night can sometimes wake you up during your slumber but easy to go right back to bed. They had surfboard, noodles and beach towels helped out. I would def stay in that area again.
