Lovely but overpriced
The views from the cottage are stunning. Watching the sunrise and sunset out on the lanai while listening to the crashing waves of the bay was a highlight of our stay. There is easy parking and access to a secluded black sand beach via the property next door. The cottage is small yet cozy with a modern interior and thoughtful touches. The bed is small and not the most comfortable. The fully equipped kitchen and propane grill make it easy to prepare food at home, however the offerings at Hana’s two small stores and even the farmer’s market are extremely limited. If you plan to take advantage of the modern kitchen appliances, take Roberta’s advice and grocery shop before embarking on the road to Hana. Roberta is a communicative and responsive host and a great source of information on the area. We split our time in Hana between this cottage and the Hana Maui Resort. Surprisingly, we paid more per night for the cottage than for our ocean-view bungalow at the resort. The bungalow was quite a bit larger, more luxurious, also had a large lanai with a breathtaking view, and was located on expansive golf-course like grounds complete with full resort amenities. The cottage was lovely, but there are better options out there for the price in my opinion.
