This is an amazing place in an amazing location. It is basically across the street from the beach - super convenient. The provided beach gear is easy to get across the street and there were plenty of chairs for all of us. The bay is heaven. You can just float for hours. The water is clear and was calm the entire time. (Bring your reef-safe sunscreen!)
There’s a market a few blocks away and also several restaurants on walking distance. (Gazebo, Seahouse, Merriman’s, and a few other places we didn’t get to.
I am training for a half marathon and was able to run six miles, mainly staring out to the ocean. (A bit hilly so you’ll get some leg work in!). Most of the path is a wide sidewalk and, if you’re lucky, you might see some chickens or cats along the way! (Yes, there are chickens and roosters all over Hawaii. They’re so beautiful!)
The lanai/yard was relaxing and I looked forward to sitting out there with a glass of wine many evenings. The refrigerator is brand new and there is a reverse osmosis water filter thing which saved us from buying bottles and bottles of water. The provided coffee was yummy and the shampoo and conditioner was actually kind of nice! We stayed in a couple of nights because the house is so relaxing.
All in all, staying here saved us a lot of money and we had a great time.
