TEN STARS!
This place is a jackpot! Jeff & Shana have though of EVERYTHING. An easy access lockbox to get the keys, a full stocked home with all the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry basics. All you need to do is buy food! EVERYTHING else is there. The view is stunning from the balcony: a rainforest, mountains, birds, its phenomenal. And you're right next to the ocean! Their condo is like stepping into your friends house to house sit. The beds are extra comfortable, the place is so spacious and perfect. Two couples can easily have ample space here. There is plenty of parking, it's quiet but lovely with active people on the main roads in the subdivision. There is a golf course seconds away, you're right next to town which is less than five minutes by car. You're less than 10 minutes away from Hanalei Bay, Lumahai Beach, the bird sanctuary, and about 20 minutes from Ke'e Beach and the Kalalau Trail.
Beach towels? Check. Beach chairs? Check. Coolers for day trips, water bottles, laundry detergent, check check check.
The hosts are very responsive but do not intrude on your vacation in any way. This place could not have been more perfect.
Grocery store is around the corner. Restaurants too. Check out Walmart for good grocery deals.
Ladies: There are swimsuit stores that are about 1000x better than anything I've ever seen on the continental US and they're 5 minutes away from the condo. "Scrunchie Butt" is THE style everyone is wearing. :) Don't be caught in the uncool bikini style I brought. :P Do yourself a favor and pick up a new amazing suit in Hanalei.
Best trip ever. :) Thank you Shana & Jeff!!
