This was the first time my family and I had been to Hawaii and I took quite a bit of time searching for the perfect rental for my girls and I. I chose this rental because of the location, price and photos posted. I wanted a place that wasn't in the hustle and bustle of the city, and really, really love the ocean and wanted to be as close as I could get. "c We had a flight that got in late at night. The instructions Jacqui provided to get in to the unit were accurate and detailed- we had no problems. When we first entered the rental, I was a bit worried about the size; I have two teenagers, an 11 year old and myself. However, this was a short-lived concern. We weren't hanging out in the unit during the days and there was plenty of room for sleeping, eating and watching TV at the end of the night. The property was exactly as it is in the photos. It was clean and very "cutely" decorated. As we explored, we discovered that the unit had everything we would need, from a fully furnished kitchen to basic toiletries to extra sheets & blankets to beach toys, boogie boards & snorkel gear. The location to the beach was the best; about 20 steps off of the lanai and you are there!!!! Falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean, and waking up to the most beautiful sunrises--- paradise for sure. Being there in August, it is hot and humid. You will want to open the windows for cross ventilation. This side of the island is a bit windier so there is plenty of breeze through the unit when the windows are open. There are also a couple of fans that are provided, and are all that is needed. I will say that the bathroom doesn't get much of the breeze because of where it is located in the unit. Ladies, if you want to do your hair and make-up I wouldn't do it in bathroom. There are plenty of other mirrors in the unit you can use. We did not use the pool; there was a beautiful, warm ocean right outside our place so why bother with a pool? It seemed that the pool only received morning sun and could use some work. There was a sea turtle on our beach the second night we were there-- so cool! Almost every morning, there were tracks in the sand indicating the turtle was there, although we didn't see him again after that second night. The reef is quite large and during low tide, you can walk out to the edge. You will want to wear reef shoes as there is quite a bit of coral when you get out far. The grounds were very well kept and beautiful, and there is security on site BUT we did not have issues that required the services of security. The parking spaces are pretty tight,...
