The beach shack was exactly what I was hoping for. It is located on a very nice road along the water that has many openings for public beach access. I enjoyed early morning runs and watched the sunset every night. The neighborhood is obviously wealthy and I never felt unsafe out on my own. Everybody is very friendly. There are sea turtles bathing in the rocks (usually later in the day) and we even saw whales one night in the sunset. The location of this shack is what makes it so special. It is beautiful. There is no traffic in the area but you are within driving range (10-20 minutes) to some delicious restaurants. Waimea was our favorite for food.
The shack itself is very clean and had everything I needed (extra blanket, towels, ninja blender, etc) The air conditioner works great. There were geckos (so cute!) and maybe 1-2 roaches (I only saw them outside the house, NONE in the house or shower).
There was only one bike for us to use during our trip so if you are coming in a pair you may want to rent another.
Would I return? Absolutely. I’ve never felt so relaxed from a vacation before, this trip was exactly what I needed! We were there for 8 nights and loved every moment. Highly recommend.
