This house is a good distance from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu which is both good and bad. If you are interested in doing lots of shopping, fishing, boating, etc, be ready to make the 35-mile, one-hour drive to the south side of the island. However, if you don’t mind the drive and long for relaxation, this house is absolutely perfect! Grocery store and several restaurants aren’t far away and the Polynesian Cultural Center is less than a 5-minute drive away. We enjoyed our luau there and did lots of our souvenir shopping there, as well. The house was well-appointed with beach towels, several condiments for cooking and comfortable bedding among other things. You will enjoy every moment of your stay here. Geoff is amazing and treats you like family. Mahalo, Geoff! Until next time!
