*The Sun Room is everyone’s favorite for its thick, double futon, big, comfy, wicker chairs, and tons of light giving you the feeling that you are sleeping in a Hawaiian Treehouse (except ours locks securely and has privacy drapes).

*The spacious living room is cozy with hanging paper lanterns and rattan lazy-boy chairs. You can watch one of our CD's, read a book from our shelves or choose a game or puzzle.

Our yard has too many varieties of flowers to list. Grab a vase and you can make your own tropical display to enjoy throughout your visit. Feel free to check for a ripe, juicy pineapple, or maybe you like to try passion fruit or a strawberry guava. And do not forget your camera so you have our flowers to enjoy when you get home.

We would be glad to help you plan your itinerary so you make the most of your time. We can suggest our favorite places to go, shopping and restaurants, local beaches, volcanic heated ponds, day trips, and directions from the house.

Good Evening Laura and Family,  I wanted to express to you my thanks for making your lovely cottage available for our family gathering over the Christmas holiday (2007). It was the ideal setting and experience with the foliage surrounding the property giving the sense of remoteness while the slight sound of the crashing surf in the background was an added pleasure.  The frequent downpours provided a welcome symphony as it crashed onto the corrugated roof.  Robin and I truly love your selection of furnishings and the use of opaque roofing material to bring outdoor lighting indoors. Thanks Again. The Waterman Family****************
