I would stay there again.

Wonderful location. Comfortable bed. Loved sitting on the balcony listening to the ocean which can be seen through the Palm Trees.

The air conditioning located in the bedroom is really loud. It is the main reason I gave it an 8 instead of a 10.

Overall nothing but good things to say about it! Very positive experience and very sad to leave it.

What a location! Right across the street from a gorgeous black sand beach. The sun rises are incredible and just overall a great cottage to stay in! It was very clean when we arrived and we had no issues getting in touch with the host if we needed anything. Will certainly stay here again.

The walk down to the beach can be a little treacherous for those who aren’t good on their feet. It’s definitely manageable but for those who can’t take big steps or climb down easily it may be an issue.
