Miracle Hale was a perfect house for our group. The pictures really don't do it justice! Everyone in our group had space plus some. Having a pool, hot tub, grill, and a functional kitchen was awesome.
The pool was nice and clean and if anything got in it there's a skimmer to use. There's a cleaner they keep in it so it stays clean the whole time you are staying there. Not sure if it's chlorine or bromide but the water in the pool was great and didn't seem over chemically.
The hot tub and grill were both on the newer side and great to have.
The hot tub is on the newer side and was great to use on some of the cooler nights we were there.
Only thing to be aware of when you are planning to use the grill is it's not in a spot where you can get much light on it so if you plan to grill after dark, be aware of that. It worked out ok for us, but just be aware. You can move it so the porch light shines on it a bit.
The pool was clean and really nice to have when we wanted to just relax. The patio/pool area is very big and there is plenty of seating and tables for everyone.
The bedrooms have A/C units so if you need to have that they are available. Personally, none of our group used A/C because the open air of the house and bedrooms was perfect for all of us. The house is airy and comfortable and spacious. The beds were also really comfortable.
Inside dining table and plenty of outside deck/lanai seating and space.
Tess was super responsive to any questions I had, with great communication.
You don't have to worry about trash/recycling as Ron comes by every few days to take care of it.
If you need something or something isn't working (we just needed a working can opener), Tess will take care of it.
There are some Hawaiian hot chili pepper plants in the yard - proceed with caution - we are hot heads and my husband and I ate one and were very impressed with the heat those things have!
The kitchen is well stocked for an airbnb... not a whole lot of spices and no condiments since no one can leave much due to COVID, but what they had worked out great. If you are planning to do some meals in, I suggest going to Costco and getting stocked up so you don't have to make a lot of trips to the store (the costco had some really good Ahi!). For our misc. needs we went to Safeway. I went to Walmart once and almost immediately left - but I don't really like Walmart - the touristy people I ran into getting groceries there were jerks so I just left and went to Safeway.
Buy bags of ice to keep the ice bucket in the freezer stocked.
Water bottles for the water cooler can be purchased from Walmart for $1.50.
Location, Location, Location! Everything was so easy to get to from their place. 2 miles to Kahalu'u beach for snorkeling and surfing, to the Farmers Market (Wed-Sun), downtown eateries, etc. Hint: you can park in the Farmer's Market parking lot for free - you do not need to park in the little adjacent lot and pay a ransom.
Very close to the Hwy to get to all of the other beaches along the coast both ways. There is also a little minit mart/gas station (76) that is less than a mile away. If you go there checkout the Ahi spicy jerky they have in one of their fridges - it's very unique and delicious.
They also have a bunch of boogie boards you can use, along with various snorkel gear, and a cooler. 2 of our party was able to use fins that fit them so we didn't need to rent those.
If you want a pool floaty I would grab a cheap one at the ABC store or Walmart or whatever.
We would definitely stay there again if we have a similar size group and go back to the BI.
