Just got home from 12 nights at the Beach front Bungalows and all I can say is WOW! This is quite a bargain and the house is remarkable! I will start with the fact that I booked the house and then had to change the dates and add a person, and Gloria handled that quickly and with no headaches - thank you!

We arrived a bit early but were able to get into the house. We went off to the grocery store, and came back and met Gloria. She was right next door. We never had contact with her again, but that's because we're pretty private independent people who don't need any hand holding. If we needed her, we knew where to find her and how to contact her, and I appreciate that she respected our privacy. I almost called when the tropical storm warning was in effect, but we made it through and were glad we were on the west side of the island!

The house has everything you could possibly need - chairs, towels, boogie boards, snorkels, fins, masks, watershoes for enjoying the fantastic beach. If you want waves, they're right in front (back?) of the house. If you want to have a mellow float, walk a few hundred feet to the right - the beach is nearly deserted during the week and not very crowded on the weekends, but clean and has lifeguards.

The beds are comfortable, the yard is lush, spacious, secure, and secluded - we spent countless hours under that grand hau tree swinging in the hammock enjoying the breeze and the sound of the surf - even in the rain!

The location is away from the crowds, which was exactly what we wanted. If you're looking for a polished neighborhood, this isn't it - but we never felt unsafe or unwelcome. It's just a mix of properties, some that need some TLC, and most - like this one - that are well-kept and simple.

The interior of the house is clean, bright white, and comfortable. We did have a resident anole (we named him Ricky!) that insisted on living behind the fridge - we kicked him out, he snuck back in repeatedly. But he was cute and didn't bother us at all! WE also greatly appreciated having a washer and dryer, and all the hoses outside for washing off the sand.

All in all, this was a fantastic experience. My niece who lives on the island came to visit and said she would never leave the property if she lived there - high praise from a local!

A wonderful time, and great memories! Mahalo, and we hope to be back!
