To Future Travelers:
This really is a great place! There were things we liked and things we wish we would have known about before hand.
We were a party of 7; 3-adults, 3-kids (9, 6, 4 and 17 months).
The description of the place was accurate, but I felt like it was missing a couple key points. The description said that there was a studio apartment on site. What we didn't realize was that the apartment was about 3 feet away from our front door. With the open window style of house, that was apparently a problem. The couple who was in the studio apartment didn't like the normal family noise of having small children and they complained about us. Once we got the complaint, then we felt like we needed to "shush" our kids constantly to keep them silent. That was unpleasing, as we were on vacation.
The other thing, and even more important part I wish I would have realized was that in front of the studio apartment was a lily pad pond. When I have an 17 month old who is unpredictable I couldn't let her play outside, as I was constantly worried she would fall into the pond. I wish I would have known about the pond before hand. I definitely would not have rented this place if I had that information.
To be purely informative:
The open windows are a thing in Hawaii. Most of the reviews we read that it wasn't too bad with the ocean wind coming through. Our first two days there was no wind. It was 87 degrees with 95% humidity and so it felt like 99 degrees without a wind. That was tough and we sweat constantly. The remainder of the trip it rained every day (thankfully). Even with the rain though, it is so hot. They had a fan in each of the bedrooms, a freestanding fan in the family room, plus a ceiling fan in both the family room and the kitchen. So they were well equipped with fans, but it was still Hot! The floors even had a layer of humidity on them, because it was so hot and moist. My clothes, even after washing were still moist. When I vacation to Hawaii again, I will pay extra to find a place that has air-conditioning.

The other point, as purely information, we did see cockroaches on day 6 of 8. By this point it wasn't worth trying to change our accommodations, but it really did gross us out. I just think it should be known.
The decor in the house was super cute. We loved the open concept of the design. We didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Loved that! We used the kitchen for family meals. It was a decent kitchen, not home, but ok for a vacation. There were plenty of white shower towels and colorful beach towels. We felt like we were in Hawaii. It looks exactly like it is shown in the pictures!!
The Outdoor Shower was AMAZING! It was hooked up with warm water and all of us Loved that! As you're showering you can look up to the lush green mountainside as your back drop. That was AMAZING! This was probably my favorite part of the whole property.
There are chickens around. I like chickens so they didn't bother me. My father-in-law was bugged by them since there was poop everywhere. Beware of the poop! First lesson as we arrived was to warn the kids not to step in the poop. My 4 year old had unknowingly tracked some into the house. After that it wasn't a problem. The roosters were crowing as early as 3:30AM, one night, but mostly around 5:30/6AM and the sun was rising about 6AM and there are no black out curtains, so we were up bright and early! But the sun sets early too, so we went to bed at a decent time, so we weren't too tired.
The only time we could see the ocean was when we were standing in the back corner of the yard. "Ocean View" is a stretch. In the backyard they had the type of tree that grows their state flower, the plumeria I believe. My 4 year old would gather the fallen flowers and bring them to the dinner table as decoration. It was charming!
You are only a 5-10 minute walk from the ocean (no beach per se). The closest part you get to the water by walking was a park-like area with a retaining wall where the ocean water hits into. There weren't any great beaches within walking distance from the house. But you are a Short Drive to many Amazing Beaches. For that fact, we really liked our location. You're not too far from the north or from the south. I would stay close to this area again. We thought it was perfect.
We are sharing our thoughts like we would to our dearest friends. Good luck in your search for a place to stay in Hawaii! It is a wonderful place to vacation!!
