The owners take great care for this place. It was super clean and had everything we needed. The location is amazing. We rented kayaks for the week and were able to get in the bay right from the property (be advised this is not for the feint of heart as the entrance is rocky and you need to time with the waves). The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We watched amazing sunsets from the lanai after snorkeling in front of the house. If you want a relaxing vacation in a house right on the water, this place can't be beat. Mahalo!

The location is perfect for anyone wanting a great view/location without the crowds. 30-45 minute drive to the tourist area with restaurants and tours. But enough casual local restaurants for great casual meals within 15 to 20 minutes. Be aware no AC.....cooled off ok at night but can get hot during day. Very casual home....nothing fancy...but everything you really need. We L9VED our stsy

We loved how close to the ocean the home was, the boys had a blast fishing 🎣 the views are spectacular. Loved hanging out on the lanai with the breeze.
