Loved this home! It was perfect for our family, spacious, well-appointed, and had a delightful view of the ocean. We watched a whale from the wonderful front porch!
This is a 10 Star home! (but not if you must have A/C).I have limited space so: The view! Bring your binoculars. The house is spacious, comfortable, clean and private. The beds comfortable. The queen bedroom is small. The kitchen was well stocked. There is a large ice chest, beach towels, 4 beach chairs and a yoga mat in the house. The owner was responsive. We had a few minor issues and he had a local handy-man and housekeeper that helped us. Ron said that he was “new to renting”, so he didn’t yet have a “manual” for his house. The closest grocery store is 25 minutes north. The closest take-out was the Papa’aloa country store but their hours are limited. There is a mini mart gas station and train museum one block away.We had to take our garbage to transfer stations. We did not find this to be a hassle.The cons: Despite it being listed as having Air conditioning, we say that it did not have viable air conditioning. In order to use it, we would have had to leave the screen door open, and there are many small bugs and geckos. Bugs and lizards manage to get in even with the screens in place, but this is common in Hawaii. Also the long distance from beaches, groceries and take-out. I highly recommend this house! I would rent it again.
