This is a beautiful house in an amazing setting overlooking the ocean. It's set into the hillside ~ 2 miles from the ocean, with a gorgeous clear view of the ocean. We sat on the balcony every morning and evening and could see whale activity every day. There is a private lava pool in the backyard which is beautifully landscaped and very peaceful (with quite chilly water when we were there in Feb - but there is also a hot tub up on the balcony). The house itself is equipped with everything we could possibly want including 'beach toys' for kids and adults. The house is in a residential area, so wonderful for a family or if you want a beautiful setting to relax. Martha was a wonderful host and always just a text away if we had any questions. Overall: A+! Mahalo!
