This house was an exceptional rental, forgive me if I gush, but forget about the rest, if this house is available, book it. Wonderful living atmosphere inside a beautiful but minimalistic home well taken care of by dutiful grounds keepers. The waves break far enough out to create just the gentle sounds for sleepy time, which is quite comfortable with great beds and linens. We stayed in the middle of a very hot and humid summer and the ceiling fans in each room, combined with the roof fan and breezy windows made it quite comfortable. It is such a privilege to stay in front of the most desirable tide pool beaches in the area. It is uncomfortable at first with all the visitors to the beach, but once you realize they have to scramble over rocks at low tide for 20 minutes to get to your front yard, it isn't all that bad. Thank goodness for Cecilia and Lopaka, who keep firm control of who is coming and going, letting us worry about where to take afternoon naps, and not about uninvited guests. This house is a hidden gem, don't sleep on it, we have it bookmarked.
