Wonderful host! The house has all the amenities you could ask for to include air conditioning, washer/dryer access, full kitchen, bath and a half, paddle boards, snorkels, beach towels...everything you need for your home away from home...very clean! It is a minute walk to a military recreation beach that has a restaurant and bar and great beaches. Great value and experience for a family trip to Hawaii, especially if you are looking to just spend time on the beach and play in the surf . The house is out in the "country" about 45 minutes to Honolulu. There is no road that goes all the way around the island.
