What can I say, our visit to Hawaii was made even better staying at Uncle Howard's Hale. The house was comfortable, spacious, had all the amenities all in a beautiful setting. Each bedroom has it's own private lanai or patio and bathroom. The living room has a comfy couch and several chairs and the kitchen was well equipped for all our needs. There's a great lanai and smaller one off the living area which were super relaxing and the game room was a nice place to hang in the evenings as well.

Waking up everyday to a gorgeous sunrise and having coffee and breakfast on the big lanai was a memorable experience. Each day we were blessed with geckos and lizards which brought us a lot of joy, especially for the kids. Even when we had down time, which wasn't a lot, the kids still had things they could do around the house (thank you Howard for the coloring books and crayons). The neighborhood was safe and quiet, that is if you don't mind roosters and frogs. :)

The snorkeling gear and boogie board worked out great for our excursions to the beaches. We didn't really use the bicycle or surf boards but it was nice knowing they were there at our disposal. When the solar panels weren't heating the water enough due to rain, Uncle Howard came and turned on the water heater for us. No more cold showers!

Howard is a really cool guy who gives you lots of space but is also there when you need him. His suggestions on places to visit worked out great and we were happy we listened to his sage and gracious advice.

I would highly recommend this house for families with or without children. All the upper lanai's are secured with gates that unlock from the stair side and there's also a gate in the living area at the top of the stairs. The only issue was the king bed in the upper room was really hard and not super comfortable. Other than that, it was the most comfortable and beautiful place I've been to on the Island. Thank you Howard!
