So we had a wonderful stay at Cheri & Scott's beach bungalow. The bungalow itself was very clean and comfortable, but what made it really special was the wonderful attention to detail that Cheri & Scott brought, from the multiple tropical flower bouquets to the great and very tasty treats that awaited us, there was even some very cool coconut flavored type soaps - it all made for a amazing stay and complemented the wonderful surroundings.

As for the property and location, it can't be beat. It's not a well-tread touristy type place, there aren't any 'super resorts' nearby that trash the place up - it has a very cool, local type vibe, from the awesome store at the end of the driveway (run by a family who have been there since the King gifted them the land!) to some of the best shave ice and dining on the island. And don't forget that an amazing beach is like 100 yards away (50 yards of which include the beautiful and amazingly landscaped back yard..!). For us, it was a launching point for our multiple adventures, from stand up paddle boarding on the relatively calm surf of lanikai beach to kayaking to the 'mokes' to lounging around the garden and grilling fresh fish for dinner. All very cool.

And Cheri & Scott were great hosts. They were the perfect mix of super helpful hosts that were not intrusive in the least bit. We enjoyed visiting with them and we even got the chance to do a wonderful pre-dawn hike to the pillboxes with them, all very awesome and something we'd highly suggest to anyone else if you get the invitation. And as for things to do around the island, they had great suggestions.

If you're somehow on the fence about booking this property, we can highly recommend it - it was hard to leave! Thanks again Cheri and Scott!
