We enjoyed our stay very much. The ac is a big plus for us since most places on Hawaii don’t have it. The proximity to the ocean is great, but note that the house is right on the highway and the road noise drowns out the surf. There is no dining area other than the bar and stools at the kitchen. There is a dishwasher, but there are so few dishes and glasses that we needed to hand wash everything as we went or run the dishwasher nearly empty (which we just couldn’t do because of the waste of water and energy. This was not a big deal for us, but just want others to know.
