Jessica gave very detailed instructions which made settling in easy. The condo was just as described and adequately supplied with basic products needed for the week. The deck was wonderful- we had a special song bird who sang his heart out each day looking for a partner. The location was convenient for hiking and taking a boat tour of the North Coast, our first priority. Traffic was very light since the high season had not yet begun, but the water was temperature was lovely. I think going when we did was a good choice because nothing was crowded. Jessica supplied beach chairs and boogie boards and good descriptions of the various beaches and was very honest about the hazards. Never having been there, we really appreciated having guidelines as to safety. The location also meant we could tour Waimea Canyon on a day trip. The community pool was nice and the barbeque grill made cooking in the pool area easy. The condo was hot in the loft area in the early evening but did cool down at night. Shops were in walking distance but drove to many attractions. I would love to go back! Thanks for hosting us- we did indeed get both rainbows and waterfalls.
