My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Violet's vacation home. It's exactly as advertised, and I loved the beach view on the Lanai. Violet provides you with beach essentials - chairs, towels, umbrella, boogie board - which is very helpful.
A wealth of good cafes, restaurants, creameries / shaved ice, and gift shops are under 10 minutes away on foot.
One minor inconvenience: the AC units in each of the living and bed rooms are controlled by a 4-hour max timer. So if you're home all day, or need the A/C overnight to sleep, you have to turn it back on every 4 hours. This is because the utility bill apparently goes through the roof if guests leave it on all day and night.
