This place was perfect for us- we rented both cottages. They used to belong to our family and we were in town for a graduation luau, and the house next door was the central house. So we could walk right over! Houses are nice and comfortable - but they are vintage and in the local neighborhood- so if that’s your jam, this is a good value.

Nice little house. Its very close to the Hinoli surfspot. You can hear the highway and airplanes, which is a little bit sad. Also it was not completely clean. Would go again.

Welcome to Rooster Inn

One of the blankets look like someone blew their nose on the under side of it, a yellow discharge, sent pic to manager. A rat in the attic particles falling through the attic entrance onto the bathroom floor, sent pic to manager. Sleeping can be a little difficult, Kochi frogs at night and roosters start crowing at 3:00 am till Evening So I said Welcome to the Rooster Inn.
