Veronica is a very responsive host who provides a beautiful place in a beach-side resort. The actual view from the bed and lanai is the ocean. Small kitchenette has 2 refrigerators, a microwave and a hot plate, which makes staying for multiple days much easier if you really don't like to eat out every meal, but there are great restaurants within walking distance as well. Veronica supplies a set of beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella and there is even a snorkel set for use. A short walk down to the beach and there are lounge chairs and you can even snorkel right there. The facility is nice and the grounds are well kept. The only problem with the facility is the spa....the jets only last for 8 minutes and it takes a special talent to get them to go on (smack it with a flat hand, it seems to be air pressure that works). It took several days to figure this out, hahaha. There is a pool side bar and live music some nights. It was great to sit in the spa, have a drink, and listen to music. Or you can sit on your lanai and enjoy the view while listening to music. The reputation of Hawaii living is how expensive it is, and it really can be. But when you get off the plane, stop at Walmart on your way home and buy your food. Not a lot, as the kitchen is small, but enough to get you through a couple of days at a time, Then, the items you don't find at Walmart (like meat), you can go buy at one of the two grocery stores down the road. Highly suggest the Hukilau Lanai for a nice meal (make reservations before you leave for your trip), the Bull Shed has a great steak and lobster dinner that is big enough to be shared (you can add an extra salad), and Street Burger has the best burgers on the island, again with huge portions. All of these places are within walking distance. Overall it was a lovely, relaxing stay and we would definitely book through Veronica again!
