The location can’t be beat in the laidback town of Puako close to awesome beaches/reefs (what a nice discovery!). It's the best part of staying here. And John was great to communicate with! Note that the AC is in the living room, so it does not cool the bedroom (which is a separate room in the corner). We tried our best to cool off by opening the windows. But in late July it was definitely hot. Also the shack could use a good cleaning all round (from the shower outside to patio table/bench to sit in the patio). All in all this is an ideal place to crash in. You might be disappointed if you are looking to hangout for extended periods during your stay. Don’t miss out on the walk (or bike ride) to the end of road. Some amazing coastline there.
