We have stayed in Hanalei several times and this house was the most convenient for walking to coffee, shopping, markets and restaurants - Literally a 3 minute walk! We found the house to be very comfortable, although we did feel it was in need of some freshening up (new stove and oven and kitchen floor mats, specifically). We loved the cats (luckily we are a cat-obsessed family!) and they kept us entertained. We cooked a lot during our stay and had some issues with a couple of appliances due to their age, but Joan was responsive and couldn't have been more accommodating. I expect these appliances will be fixed/updated for the next guests. We enjoyed all our meals on the back lanai. We would have liked the backyard to be better appointed with some seating because it was a lovely setting. We ran out of propane after the first dinner, so we didn't use the grill after that. (The extra tanks in the garage felt empty, but maybe they weren't). The roosters didn't bother us. Anyway, all in all we had a great time in our Happy Place, Hanalei! I hope we left the home in good shape for the next guests. Thank you, Joan!
