Great stay at Leila and Mike's place! Magical setting for sure - first time we had all been to Hanalei and its a special place for sure. There were 9 of us and the house was perfect for the clan. Very clean and over the top loaded with beach gear and surf boards so the kids loved that. The porches that look out over the mountains and waterfalls extra nice touch. The road is not a problem at all although walking to the beach or town requires you to be careful as there are no sidewalks and shoulder is tight. Much easier to drive the 1 minute with the gear to the parking for beaches. The beach must be one of the nicest in the world - perfect for kids to learn to surf and much better than anything we saw on the south coast of the island. The dogs next door can make a racket at feeding time but otherwise they kept quiet at night! The layout of house is ideal for the big families to get together on the upper level to eat and socialize and the breezes up there are lovely. Keep in mind one of the kings is downstairs with a half bath so when two couples show up there could be a fight for the nicer bedroom upstairs. There is only one full bath in the house upstairs which at first seemed to be a problem until you realize the two outdoor showers are better than any indoor shower. The downstairs common area where kids can sleep is nice but could do with one of the portable ACs to cool down as doesn't get as much fresh air down there in evening. Overall loved the place and the setting and for sure will be back!
