Beautiful environment inside and out! Views were amazing! A coffee pot, working fireplace and a larger TV are the only things that would make it perfect! Highly recommend the home!
What an amazing view from the very generous screened in porch! Right on the water, looking east toward Squirrel Island and the bay. Great location! There was a bit of a glitch checking in but Ohana, both from HI and local were back with us within 5 minutes to fix the problem. Can't say enough about the level of service and responsiveness from Ohana and the property owner. The house has a bit of a strange floor plan but it worked for us. Only suggestions: the sofa is pretty uncomfortable and the TV is too small to really enjoy. But overall, we really loved our 2 week stay at this house. Oh, and don't miss having at least one dinner at the Newagen Inn. The food was excellent!
