Katie
Fabulous cottage right by the most beautiful beach on the island. The reviews are true. Great Lanai complete with table, chairs and a reading/napping bed:) Loved the outdoor shower. Grateful for the A/C. Private and comfortable. Walked to the beach (yes 3 min) and to town. We hope to be back soon!!! Oh, and do not miss Holy Grail donuts.
Rowena
Great stay at Umetsu cottage. Exactly as advertised. Very central. Walk to the beach in 5mins and to town in 10mins. Would highly recommend for a couple looking for a relaxing stay.
Charlie
