The house is a perfect location: walking distance to Foodland's Grocery store and nearby food trucks; Shark's Cove and Three Tables snorkeling; Banzai Skate park; and Ke Iki Beach, which is large and clean with white sand and clear water, and usually empty but for a handful of locals. We stayed during June and July and the waves--apparently huge for surfing in the winter--were never too rough for swimming (my seven-year-old nephew was fine to play in the surf all day.)

The house sits up on stilts on a short hill overlooking the water. The grounds are lush and untamed--with chickens and some cute little pigs running around--with a driveway that can fit 2-3 cars. The interior is beautifully set up with three bedrooms (comfortable and clean queen and king beds); an open style kitchen with gas stove, new fridge, dishwasher, and kitchen amenities (there's a weber grill); a full bath with shower as well as a lovely outdoor shower (both with great water pressure), with a view of the water; a living room with new and comfortable furniture and rug, and a complete media system, including hi-speed wifi, a very large flat screen TV, Apple TV with HBO, Netflix, and iTunes access, as well as cable connections for music; and a lanai (porch) with a big comfy day bed for breezy naps, high chairs to take in the ocean views and incredible sunsets, and a six-person dining set for outdoor meals. Well-lit with overhead ceiling fans. Linens, towels, beach towels, hangers, and extra fans were all new and nice.

The property owner and manager were easy to contact and responsive to all of our needs.

I can't recommend this spot enough. Great value. I hope to return in the future!
