If you are looking for peace and quite, this is the place for you! Karen was a wonderful host as well as her son, Anthony, the property manager. The view, the water waves crashing right in front of the house, along with the privacy, was exactly how we imagined our first visit to Hawaii would be. The waves were high during this season, which meant limited times we could go into the ocean. However, having the availability to your own personal pool in this house meant we didn’t have to sacrifice water time. If you have kids or are not use to swimming in rough waters, this house will provide you the comforts of being at the beach without the risks. Keep in mind this house is a bit of a drive from Honolulu and Waikiki but getting to enjoy the sunsets every single evening more than made up for the drive! Karen was helpful in giving us a few recommendations on where to buy our groceries and some local entertainment. We are looking to staying in this slice of paradise again in the future.
