Sandy Beachfront Cottage

It feels similar to a cabin. Please know the laws about green turtles before you go... they are on the beach every night. It was exciting to sit and wait for them to come ashore.

As a place to stay while experiencing Hawaii the cottage was incredible.With the trade wind breeze and sound of the surf 30 ft away thru the abundant windows it could have been a hundred years ago. Having quiet without the sounds of traffic, air conditioners and lawnmowers is rare. Very clean and well equipped including some beach items. Had turtles on very first walk on the beach!Would actually live here!

Beautiful view. Wonderful beach! Lots of turtles as described. Lovely grounds out front along the beach. Lots of beach toys and towels, etc. The kitchen was nice. Parking was a nightmare but that’s not on the cottage manager. There was construction. Redo of pipes under parking area. I do think the description wasn’t totally forthright. It is a cottage cut into 4 units. When we arrived, We had to contact cottage manager to find out which cottage, turns out there were 3 cottages and that was when we were told we were in an upper unit, up stairs. This was not mentioned in the description. Neither was the fact that the cottage was 4 units. I did indicate that we were older people. Dragging luggage up two sets of stairs was difficult after having to drag luggage across the front lawn due to the construction. Stairs were in need of some repair. Lots of walkways were blocked or unusable. WiFi was spotty. Some of the windows along dining table area are in need of repair. Beautiful area!

Check-in was very frustrating. Less than an hour before check in we still had no check in info. They did not respond on the app, I had to contact vrbo to get a phone number and track down the property manager. She was rude & the call was not a great start to our trip. On the listing it said it had a washer/dryer onsite, it turns out it is outside/downstairs and shared between several units (they since changed it in the listing). The unit was sticky & dirty, I killed several bugs within the first couple of minutes there, there was long dark hairs in the bathroom, and the rugs looked like they've never been cleaned. There is very little privacy and we had to move furniture to try and keep the curtains closed so that other units were not looking in where we would be sleeping (the shutters are fixed open and cannot close, blowing the curtains open). The blinds to the bathroom are broken & people can see right into it. We did not feel safe there & decided not to stay. The construction going on, is a big issue, we were not made aware that the parking lot was being torn up, so parking was not close. I will say, the view was beautiful from this unit, but absolutely everything else was absolutely unacceptable. VRBO was also awful to deal with, this was our first time having an issue after years of using them worldwide, now that we know how awful their customer service is when issues arise, we do not recommend using them.

Great location, beautiful view, clean, quiet and well appointed cozy unit. We had a terrific stay. Thanks!
