We loved this house. For us, the location was ideal. Our family of 9 fit very comfortably into this house. And it was very private, which is what we were looking for.
We found the kitchen great. While older, the pots and pans were big enough to cook for our large group. Not many spices beyond salt and pepper, and a little oil, so if you will be cooking, you might want to grab what you need. And there isn’t any coffee, so if you need/want some the first morning, pick some up before arriving.
There were a few geckos in the house, which we thought was great. They would run up the walls and the kids loved them. There were also some large cockroaches. While we didn’t love them, they are very common in Hawaii, and not unusual to find in homes there.
Having a washer and dryer there was great. Make sure and bring some laundry detergent. The dryer takes a little bit of time to dry everything, but if you don’t stuff it full, it will get the job done.
John was a great host. We had to cancel our trip twice beforehand, 1 time the day before we were scheduled to arrive because of COVID. He rescheduled our stays both times without any problems and we didn’t loss any money. He made our stressful and disappointed mad dash to change everything so much easier.
We would definitely stay here again.
