Great stay overall and excellent location for treks in and around Waimea Canyon. It is off the main hwy but I disagree with the other reviews that stated it is loud with dogs and cars. It was pretty quiet and what you would expect living with the locals. If you are used to sleeping cool and have been on the fence about whether or not to get a place with AC in HI get a place with AC. Luckily there is a window unit in the room with two twin beds so that is where my husband and I opted to sleep. Tough for romance but we got some sleep! The cemetery across the street is quite beautiful and very serene. The bathroom and kitchen appeared to have been recently renovated as The host mentions in another post. But, we were not able to locate the washer and dryer or beach chairs and coolers which were mentioned in other reviews. Perhaps they were removed during renovation.
