The location of Andy's house was amazing. The deck overlooked the water, and it was fantastic to watch the waves crashing and surfers take off at Waimea Bay. The water was a bit rough while we were there, but snorkelling looked like it would be amazing from the rocks in front of the house.
3 tables bay was just outside the front gate, and was great for the kids, even when the waves got up (they got pretty big on the last few days of our stay). Sharks Cove was a 5 minute walk along the footpath, and was fantastic snorkelling, it was even good in the tide pool, which was a bit safer for the kids.
Beautiful Waimea Bay was a 5 minute walk in the other direction.
The supermarket and amazing food trucks were a few minutes walk, just in front of sharks cove. Andy's place was about as good a location as you can get. We enjoyed BBQing on the deck. There was a lovely warm water outdoor shower to wash the sand off. The house had 2 bathrooms, and was well stocked and had everything we needed. We found the laundry down the stairs and in a shed on the right hand side of the house. The master bed was very comfortable. There were some swim toys and snorkelling equipment available for use. Communication with the property manager and Andy was easy.
We found the stay super relaxing, and wish we could have stayed longer. Much better staying here than at a resort. We loved the house! Next time we are in Hawaii we will be back, thank you :)
