Mermaid Cove is located perfectly on Keiki Beach. The tidal pool area is great for little ones to get introduced to ocean activities without concern of waves. The view is peaceful and great for sunset. The home is lovely and stocked well inside and outside for pool and beach areas. The kitchen is spacious and has two refrigerators, and also a large wine cooler for beverages. We loved having en-suite bathrooms for each of the main 4 bedrooms. There are 2 staircases: one to enter the house from the ground floor where the pool, parking and only entrance to the green tropical bedroom are to get to the main floor, and a second from the main floor to the upper primary suite, children's room and laundry. We did have some trouble lighting the gas outdoor grill and kitchen stove, and also getting ice made, but a call to the Gather office quickly got us a lighter to use to ignite the gas and a countertop ice maker. The air-conditioners in the bedrooms were needed for humidity/warm temp. The main floor gathering areas (sitting room, dining room and kitchen) do not have a/c, so were pretty uncomfortable later in the afternoon when the sunlight came in. There are not enough windows that open in the kitchen area to get a cross breeze, so we used the portable fans from a closet. The sliding wall glass doors allow a breeze, but the birds have learned to fly in to check the floor and counters for food, and 2 got trapped in different bedrooms. Was entertaining to catch them to release. Mahalo!
