This home met our top three needs: 6 bedrooms, on the beach, a big open space (living/dining room/outdoor porch) for a large group to gather and spend time together. In those regards this house was absolutely perfect!
On the downside, the location was 1 to 1.5 hours drive from just about everything we wanted to see and do. This is partially that the road on the north end of the island is "out" and so you must travel all the way south to Honolulu and then back north again to get to the NE part of the island. Also, the traffic is horrific. We spent a lot of time in the car.
Additionally, you should be aware that Hawaii have public beaches where you can tent. For us, that meant homeless tents next door to the house. While you can get loud music, dogs barking, and an ambulance which has to provide care with any neighbor, having a homeless encampment literally next door was a bit unsettling.
The house was definitely older. And while there were some beautiful upgrades (such as the bathrooms which were awesome), it does need additional fixes and improvements in a few areas. For example: The metal screen doors were difficult or impossible to open and close, chains for ceiling fans/lights were broken, brackets holding door screens open were broken and hanging down at eye level, kitchen faucet was loose, pots and pans needed replacing, standing water in the tub, some of the jets in the hot tub didn't work, and at least two mattresses needed to be replaced. Again, all minor things that should be easy to take care of would make the overall stay more enjoyable. We provided a complete list to the host so hopefully those things will be remedied before your stay. On the plus side, the beach access is wonderful, the view is wonderful, and there were games and puzzles available which we enjoyed.
Like anywhere, our trip had our good and not so good parts. However, it's Hawaii so it was easy to find beauty and joy. There was eleven of us in our group and we had a wonderful stay.
