The two-story structure has a king bed and private bathroom on each floor. The second floor has a full kitchen while the ground floor has a kitchenette. Both levels come with their own lanais.
The 40ft long saltwater pool is naturally heated and ranges from 5-6ft deep. There is a bbq grill at each house and plenty of parking along the driveway.
Wake up looking at the ocean or fall asleep watching the moonrise. Several large lanais where you can relax, eat and gaze out into the horizon.

This property is perfect for a group of friends or family. We traveled as 7 with our adult children and everyone had their own private space (4 bedrooms/ bathrooms) to retreat to for some quiet time). The kitchen, dining and living spaces are great with the man house able to hold everyone for a meal. The house is clean, well furnished and well appointed.The pool and deck/patio spaces are lovely places to spend mornings and evenings. The ocean front yard is amazing. We spent a lot of time sitting on the lava cliffs and watching the waves- even saw a couple whales spouting! The host, Susan, and property manager Tatiana were very friendly, easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. The location is excellent- quiet and peaceful, yet only 20-30 minutes to most places you need to get to. Easy drive to many beaches, parks and restaurants.

Very sweet location right on the cliffs. It was hot during our 8 day stay, very little rain so we did miss having AC in the midday, which encouraged us to head out and explore. Spent most afternoons in the pool due to the heat.Nene geese visited us, frogs galore loudly singing us to sleep.We planned to cook dinners, the main house kitchen is small and had enough gear, but barely. Expect to make do!The ohana upstairs and downstairs can be completely separate, which was great for us to have space for two families.
