The house was perfectly located! It was walking distance from 2 beaches (Magic Sands - 5-7 min; popular for boogie boarding [didn't try snorkeling], Kahalu'u - 15-20 min; good snorkeling). Walking did have to occur on the side of the road but there were a lot of people doing so during our 5 days. In addition, it was a short drive to restaurants and attractions (coffee farms, Captain cook, etc). Our group interacted with the hosts upon arrival and they were incredibly friendly (we saw them in passing during the remainder of our stay and they always asked if we needed anything). The house itself was very functional with plenty of towels, ample kitchen materials, toiletries, and a welcome snacks (pineapple, mac-nut chocolates). There is no laundry available but the hosts offered to do a load per day. Would recommend!
