I would highly recommend this place if you're looking to escape the city life. It is affordable but doesn't skip on the amenities: well equipped and it has a great bed if you love sleeping on a "cloud," I would imagine a cloud would feel like that bed! Great beaches nearby with close to no one on them. We had trouble with our phone service (t-mobile) when we were in the studio but we didn't mind it at all. There is a wifi connection under "Kepuhi," you will find the signal is strongest near the bed and patio. It's a quiet community, quiet hours from 10pm-8pm. There is a security guard constantly going around the grounds which made me feel safe but I don't think you will have anything to worry about since it is the "friendly isle" as we saw the locals leave their cars unlocked with their windows rolled down in town.
The location is about 30 minutes away (19.5) from the main town, Kaunakakai. But there is another town called Kualapu'u (20 min away, 12 miles) which has a tiny grocery store and a great restaurant called Kualapu’u Cookhouse (480 Uwao St, Kualapuu, HI 96757). The portions are huge and there is a coffee shop next door as well. It is also a 5 minute drive to Maunaloa town where there is a small market open daily to 5PM.
This place was great. It came well equipped with kitchen supplies to eat and cook with. There is a stove and microwave but no oven. Basic staples (salt, pepper, oil, garlic paste, onion and many other seasonings) I bought a few of these things oh and there's wine for the next guests too. =) Speaking of that, it came well equipped with alcohol.
There is also a cooler underneath the bathroom sink and ice pack in the fridge if need be and a community grill too!
If you feel like staying in, there are dvds you could watch as well as cable tv or board/card games you could play.
This place was clean overall but minor things could be clean like the patio rail and screens.
