This house has a great location. Not only is it on the shoreline (rocks, so be careful they are slippery) but is a mile outside of the town of Paia and is on the road to Hana. There are several beaches close to Hana and if you like boogie boarding with the kids, the beach by the youth center has free parking and is the best. There is a sandy beach about 300 yards from the house where the turtles hang out a lot of the time. The house is spacious with 2 bathrooms and even though there was 7 of us, there is a back garden and balcony so you don't feel crowded. Be careful when leaving the house in your car as you enter right onto the road to Hana. There is a mirror so you can see cars coming along the street. There were a few bugs in the house, not a lot but some so make sure you keep the screens shut when going in and out. We swept the floors everyday to minimize and food particles that would attract the insects. Paia is not a large town but has enough restaurants that you can eat a different place most nights. We enjoyed Charlies especially and it has music on the weekends. Mama's fish House is only about 2 miles from the house and is an culinary experience but is expensive (figure $100 per person) and you have to book in advance. And I mean a month in advance for dinner. Definitely recommended this house.
