We had what could be considered a series of comical (if it didn't happen to you!) disasters trying to get to Hawaii, culminating in arriving about 2am via a $130 40 mile taxi ride to Marc's place. (TIP: remember to arrange for your rental car place to be open when you arrive.) We were so happy to get to the nice place and even happier the next day when Marc and family enveloped us in true Aloha, helping us solve our rental problem and making us feel welcome. The dogs greeted us at breakfast outside while we took in the view. The house itself does not have a view per se, but we found it easy to take the little outdoor table and move it to take the view in on the little hillside overlooking the vast Parker ranch land. There is also a little bench there. The house is nice and simple, with clean comfy beds with quality bedding and towels. The kitchen is small for prep area, and tight for food storage, but packed with all you need. The house is part of a tight group of houses including Marc's family home and his neighbor. We felt very comfortable with the nice kayaker neighbor also, and all was very very quiet. (Save us arriving at 2am that first night! ha) It felt private even with neighbors nearby.
