First off and most importantly, let me say that Stacie and Mike are great hosts and really just down to earth, nice people. We really enjoyed our stay with them. We had pretty severe weather in the area for several days and our space on the lower level actually flooded due to the incredible amount of rain. This actually happened when we were away and Stacie and Mike had all of our stuff moved to the upper unit by the time we got home. We really appreciated them being there and taking care of our belongings for us.
The space is as advertised. As you can see on other reviews, the bedroom is rather small, but we didnt spend any time there other than to sleep so that was not a problem for us. The living area is spacious and the kitchen is very nice as well. The view of the sunrises through the windows facing the water are spectacular and I could really sit for hours just watching the waves crash on the reef.
One thing to note is that though this property is on the water, there is no beach immediately in front of the house. There is a large rock seawall that can be a bit treacherous to get down to the water. I would advise you not to try to climb down it as I slipped several times on my one attempt. Also the water in front is very rocky and not great for swimming. For us this was a non issue, as there is no shortage of public beach within a very short distance. One small beach that we used for swimming and fishing is only 6 or 7 houses away. There are several others within a mile or so in either direction of the property as well.
Overall, the area is fantastic if you want beautiful sunrises, great not-crowded beaches, and incredible scenery. It really doesnt take long to get to Honolulu or Pearl Harbor anyway. We went in to the city nearly every day and it took about 40 minutes or so.
