My husband and I just spent 6 nights at the cottage and it was magical. The pictures are very accurate, the lawn is huge and the view is spectacular. We felt like we were all alone. At night we'd leave the windows open and the breeze came through the house beautifully- all you could hear was birds and waves. No traffic, garbage trucks, or people. The little cottage is so well equipped, they've thought of everything!!! As an example, there are 3 coffee makers so you have one that suits you! Its really amazing how well this place has been maintained. It is really worth the money. The beach in front of the cottage is rough with lava rocks everywhere and it is difficult to entry the water- but not impossible. About 50 yards to the right is beautiful Polo Beach. You can walk on the rocks or on the road- it's about a 2-3 min walk. On Polo beach you can swim and even rent chairs, kayaks, surf boards, etc. on the beach from the Kea Lani. You can also enter the Wailea Beach Walk at this point- which is a great morning stroll. We walked to the Kea Lani one night (3 mins tops) to pick up a pizza and bring it back to the beach house.....If you have a big group the adjacent house is also for rent from TVV and is BEAUTIFUL, new, and has a pool.
