We LOVED this house, it was the perfect place to celebrate my 50th birthday. The pool is fantastic with its volcanic grotto waterfall features, the beach accessories (chairs, towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards) were wonderful, the master suite upstairs is sweet!!! Great kitchen and lanai and just all around great house. The road is a little busy but the wall makes you feel isolated and far from anyone else. Technically you can walk to a couple nearby beaches but there are MAJOR muddy climbs down to those beaches -- not for everyone! A quick car hop down to Hanalei and many other locations though :) We'd recommend this house in a heartbeat!
