A wonderful location for a family gathering. There are three suites, two downstairs plus the entire second floor is a magnificent master suite with a full distant ocean view lanai, separate indoor sitting area, huge spa-like bathroom and twin bedroom if needed. We were able to spread the family out among the suites with lots of privacy or coming together when we wanted. Each room has its own wifi and cable connected TV. Lots of space in the livingroom for all to sit and enjoy a movie together.
Kitchen is fully equipped, high end appliances. There is a small espresso maker and coffee grinder. The round glass table seats 7, with more at the counter.
Lots of beach equipment in the garage, with sun protection equipment as well. It is about a 10 minute drive to Anini Beach, same to Hanelei beaches. It is possible to take the beach path through the Hanalei Bay Resort, but is a bit of a trial to get back up the hill. We avoided taking a lot of equipment down there and used it for sunset gawking.
The golf course has its pros and cons. You have no back neighbor, so it is mostly private after 4 p.m. We would stroll to the 3rd tee box and enjoy our cocktails and the sunset over Bali Hai (Makana) while the grand kids cavorted. The mowers start about 6:30 in the morning, and can hear from the master. Usually not a problem with the time change, just keep that in mind.
All in all our family loved this house, and its proximity to beaches and services. Make a big haul at Costco, pick up incidentals at Princeville FoodLand or stores in Hanalei.
Thanks for a fabulous 50th Anniversary location to spend time with our family!
