The home is really beautiful. Right over the ocean with close, quite beach access nearby. It was wonderful that there were kid floats, boogie boards, snorkel equipment, chairs, etc. at the house for us to use. Love the outdoor shower to get all the sand off. The deck with the wall of windows that open onto were so amazing. Loved hearing the waves crashing all night.
It would have been good to know that the town of Laie is a dry town, and you cannot buy alcohol anywhere including restaurants. Also didn't realize that the home and back deck are attached to the next door unit, so it's like a duplex. If your neighbor is out on their deck at the same time as you, it's a bit awkward since there is no wall or division really, just a railing.
