Summary: The Cottage was a wonderful respite for our trip. As others have said, there were some gnats that were present in the bathrooms and on the outside of the house (that swarmed at night), but we found that if we left the light on inside, the gnats swarmed to the window and left us alone on the deck. And, it is after all a tropical environment, so while we saw the occasional cockroach outside, there were none inside!When we arrived, our code didn't work, but the person on the other side of the emergency line helped us out since there was a photo shoot before we arrived.We loved the bathroom, and the kitchen was well equipped. We could have used some ziploc baggies to store food or other things that we couldn't finish eating, but we found most of what we needed. The A/C units (2) were perfect for the size of the house, and it was great to have a washer and dryer there. Bring your own dryer sheets if you want; while there were laundry pods (thank you!!) there were no dryer sheets. The views were one-in-a-million. The waves crashing on the lava rocks below were loud, but lovely. The yellow tangs greeted us each day out off the deck as they were hanging out in the reef beyond the deck. There were lots of surfers each morning, so if you like to sleep with the window curtains open, beware. I only wish that this had another bedroom with bunk beds or twin beds so that our kids could enjoy this house! We will definitely come back to this in the future - we had a great time!
