A very cute little apartment, done up beautifully with some incredible views. You can see sea turtles and from what we've heard, whales during whale watching season, right from the lanai. The decor is perfect for a little beach house and the location is perfectly central from almost everywhere on the island. Don't expect any interaction (apart from booking and pre-travel emails) with the host as it's self check in and check out (his number is available if you need to call but there's no personal touch). Though the apartment has air conditioning (which is pretty helpful in the summer), it is only in the living room, not in the bedroom. Well equipped with beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, a cool bag/box and ice packs. There is a fully functional kitchen for those who'd like to cook. For us, just an electric kettle and a mini fridge would have worked just fine too. Make sure to leave the doors in the front and back open while you're in the apartment so there's some cross ventilation and a chance for the apartment to cool down before you go to bed at night! The apartment rules are to leave all used footwear at the door, so I would have expected the floors to be much cleaner to be able to walk around barefoot. Bring your own tea/coffee/sugar/creamer as none is provided (apart from what we left behind for the next maybe 2 or 3 guests to use).
A helpful note to all future guests: there is a small grocery store/deli in the next apartment complex and they have basic groceries, alcohol, some medication and first aid stuff and they make some pretty good sandwiches too if you'd like to get some like we did the night before we left for a very early hike. There's a gas station just down the road for those who need to fill up rental cars before returning and lastly, there's a nice place to get burgers, steaks, ribs and a drink about a 5 min walk away, called Beach Bums BBQ and Grill (they also have live music in the evenings and are right by the harbour. Happy holidaying!! Aloha! :)
