Our hosts, Lloyd and Loring were so friendly and available, and gave us alot of suggestions for beaches, snorkling, eating. We used the beach chairs and coolers that were provided, and a couple of boogie boards were also available. Their home and the cottage are both "newer" and very clean and up-to-date. The neighborhood was a quiet small subdivision close to Waimea town, and being able to spend downtime at the cottage in a climate cooler than the shore (because of the elevation change from sea level to about 2,000 feet) was something we really liked (we live at 7,000').
