There are several first things you will notice. Darren will greet you at the home with a huge welcome to his home and to Hawaii. You will note that pictures posted online do not do justice to the home and property. It is so much more spacious. The interior is nicely laid out and spacious. The pool area is large with plenty of room in the pool and in the deck patio area for entertaining. He has provided a nice welcome package of local food which is delicious. He provides you with a notebook which lists a complete summary of local attractions, restaurants, beaches, grocery stores etc. He goes through the book and explains things in detail. You then walk through the property and are oriented to everything you need to know. I found it very helpful to have light switches and appliances labeled. Some of the appliances like the gas grill outside has complete instructions labeled. During our visit it was hot and humid. We opened the house up during the day and with the cross breeze and ceiling fans the interior was very comfortable. My wife and I had the master bedroom and only one night did we require air conditioning. The other bedrooms used air more often. We had a party of eight adults and a toddler and thought there was more than enough room for all of us without feeling crowded. Several members of the party work in restaurants and really enjoyed preparing meals in a kitchen which they thought had very high quality appliances. We did many activities away from the property but always appreciated coming back home and relaxing around the pool or in the main living area with a large screen TV and an assortment of apps for viewing programs of your choosing. No cable but plenty of choices. There are so many special touches it is difficult to recall from plenty of kitchen ware, towels, bathroom supplies, water toys, snorkeling gear etc. The eight adults have stayed in many short stay homes and really felt that even when you take Hawaii out of the mix this was the best.
