The location of house was great. It is on the property of Paia Inn which is nice as can utilize the amenities and maid service. It is close to town and the beach. I was concerned about the beach access as had been mentioned in other reviews but it was totally manageable for us with our toddler and older parents. We saw turtles everyday, and several evenings they came up onto the beach.
The enclosed garden was good for my toddler although we had to be careful of the stairs leading from house to garden. The private garden leads out to a communal garden for the Paia Inn which has sun loungers and tables to sit at and the beach access is from here.
The house had some beach toys, chairs and umbrellas which was nice.
We were 6 plus a toddler and the house was spacious enough for us all, however we spent most of our time in the outside living area, garden and on the beach!
We had a great time :) Thanks!
