Our families rented this house for a week long family reunion with siblings/ families. We had 10 guests from 12 years to 65 years old plus my sister and DH who lived a few minutes away visited often. The house and location was perfect. Very easy to find and close to everything with a few minutes drive via car. The house has two levels - sort of an inverted house. The drive and top entrance comes into the living room or the kitchen door. With the master and another King size bedroom on either side of this level plus a futon room perfect for one adult or child. The lower level had a 3 single bedroom, A large pull out sleeper sofa and a separate queen sized bed type apartment with another kitchen. The second refrigerator came in very handy for our food storage.

We cooked several meals at the house and grilled on the gas grill on the lani by the kitchen. The pool was bigger than I thought it would be and even the sandy area was nicer than I expected. Everyone loved the large round hot tub too! We all fit in the pool and had a ball tossing around balls and playing with the included pool toys. The Tiki hut at the pool had a small fridge. To get to the pool you go one flight of stairs down to the grassy yard. Lots of room and very quiet!.

But hands down the best feature of the house is the balconies, namely the top balcony with a wonderful view of the ocean. Nice breeze and cooler temps than the coast. With two large tables and seating for 12 plus the bar area and 4 padded chairs it was great to gather here to eat, and visit each day. Plus the stars at night and the moon were outstanding! Could not have been better! I was worried it would be too hot to sleep- but even with days in the upper 80's the nights were perfect with the ceiling fans in the bedrooms.

Everything was clean- this is the tropics so there was the odd bug or two- but sitting on the balcony at night with the lights on under the eaves we did not have issues with mosquitos etc. Loved watching the geckos ( walking upsidedown) gather around the lights above us waiting for their bug meals. So cute! Hawaiian cardinals came to the balcony looking for some bread hand outs each day. A flock of birds roosted next to the house each evening. Loved the sound of the birds each morning too. A Rooster and his girls was often sighted around the property.

This house was so economical for a large group- better than a resort! Thanks Richard for all your help! We loved this house!!
