Booking to check out was a breeze. Royal has made everything as easy as possible and communicated well with us for any questions we may have. The place had all the necessities you need! We cooked everyday with music on (cd, radio and BT connection in the kitchen) and we packed our food and didn't want to waste time waiting to be seated in a restaurant. We did bring ziplocks from home to pack our food, would have been good to have tupperwares. There's a BBQ grill but due to the rain, we didn't get to use it. He has coolers to pack everything up to go which was great. The place was clean, bed was comfortable, white noise was amazing, beach gears were all there. Do bring the beach umbrella for the rain, not the sun. We loved watching sunset at Hanalei and it rains intermittently so it was helpful to have the umbrella. Grocery store is nearby, lots of food trucks if you want a quick bite to eat. Drive to kapaa and lihue isn't bad and an hour and a half or so to Waimea. He also has books on the shelf for trails, places to visit and more. Parking is in front, no issues. Definitely recommend his place.
