The house was amazing- clean, spacious, great location, and really a beautiful property all around! And guesthouse was a great perk to have access to. Our family of 11 had a wonderful week and loved being so close to the beaches, and we watched sunrise and sunset almost every day from the atrium rooftop balcony! They even left us a nice welcome basket with treats because they knew there were birthdays among our group. My relatives are still raving about it all.
Some noteworthy cons: I was disappointed we weren’t notified about the landscaper schedule- they showed up for HOURS (it’s a huge beautiful yard) on Tuesday while my husband and I had gone hiking, leaving our baby with grandparents at the house (our first time being away from baby together) and they had to stay inside with her much of the day, which is not what you want to be doing in Hawaii. That really upset me at the time, because it’s such a simple thing to tell someone and we would’ve just scheduled our hike for another day. Also, I had to ask for both check-in and check-out details (though they were quick to send upon request)—but then the check-in code they sent was wrong, meaning after all the hours of flying, and hours waiting for rental cars, and finally getting to the house very late on the first night, the first members of our party couldn’t get in (and were frantically trying to get ahold of me while I was dealing with my own car rental issues). Thankfully we were able to resolve the issue fairly quickly and got inside, but talk about an unnecessary hassle. I can’t bring myself to dock a star however, because the house and overall experience really was so lovely! Thanks for an otherwise wonderful week for my family, we would not hesitate to book again.
