This place exceeded our expectations. Our first time at the island for 10 days, and we found the place to be the perfect location. After visiting most of the other beaches and areas, being next to the Kahalu'u beach park (for reading, shade, sun, and snorkeling) and Magic Sands (~1 mile away) for sun, body, and boogie board fun was just perfect. None were better. Other beaches were just too crowded or didn't offer enough of difference to justify going more than once. Rayshel was a great host and has a beautiful, clean place with new wood floors and great decorations. We followed her online "guide" of the area and found it to be very useful and spot on. The lanai was spectacular surrounded by plants and palms. She has a cushioned suspended chair that is a dream for reading. We will recommend this place to our friends and hope to re-visit sometime.
