Apr 28, 2022 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Nice hut but not what we expected First off, I can tell Joe put a lot of love into this property and it shows! The hut looks like it was man made and with a lot of love and care. Unfortunately, we had to leave early due to the mosquitoes and cockroaches being a big problem. When I read the description of the house, I was under the impression that it is completely screened off from the outside elements but there are openings everywhere and my partner and I became a feast for the mosquitos by the first night. We thought we could bear it but when the cockroaches were discovered in the middle of the night, my girlfriend broke down and I had to book a new place that would offer a bit more shelter. I also found it hard to sleep the two nights we did stay as we were so close to another house and driveway where a lot of people would come and go. All of this with no window to close made us feel like we had little to no privacy. ##### Edward C. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter B., Cranston, RI USA Mar 29, 2019 #### Great place, great host! Joe is a great host! Super nice guy, and available but not intrusive. The Li'l Red Tropical Farm Cottage is spacious and clean, and well appointed with everything you could need, even for a long stay. ##### Peter B.

Amazing location being so close to black sand beach and the local aloha!! The cabin is bigger than the pictures show with an incredible shower and king size bed.

May 4, 2018 #### Loved everything about the property and the area.. This cottage was a wonderful place to stay. Loved the openness of feeling like you were sleeping outside, peaceful and quiet. I understand not everyone is a Frog fan, but to have those frogs serenade you to sleep every night was amazing.. We enjoyed all the beaches, the scenery. Seaview area was our favorite. Sunday night at the park was very cool, and being able to walk and enjoy the local life was great. Wednesday nights at uncle Roberts was really cool to. All the amazing food to pick from, music, vendors, all in all, we loved the entire trip. Didn't have much relaxing time, was a little business trip too, but we will definitely be back.. got some Property that needs built on. So we will be back for sure. I highly recommend this cottage, cozy and comfortable. Slept like a baby every night. We hope to stay here again on our return.. Thanks for everything Joe!! Amazing place... mahalo 🌺🌴 Drew & Deanna ##### Deanna J.
