Maria's place was spotless and just the right size for our family of four with 2 young kids. It's furnished with minimalism and comfort, as advertised. There were just enough dishes and towels, etc., with the surprise of snorkels and an ice chest but not much other beach equipment, which was fine as my boys loved the salt water pool on-site. Maria had everything we needed to cook, including a rice cooker, 2 hot plates, microwave, toaster, and toaster oven. Breakfast on the lanai was a treat, with views of the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. Everything was very walkable. We discovered that Waikiki Beach (just 3-4 blocks away) is especially pleasant before 8am, pretty empty and not too hot, with shade from the hotels. Maria was very responsive by text, as was the onsite staff at the Island Colony.
