The hale location is in a great location away from the city. It's close to a small grocery store if you forget something, close to a great taco place, Longs Drugs and PCC is only 5 minutes down the road. The large grass area in the back is a wonderful space for games and, of course, the beach is right outside the back door with fresh water showers for clean up. It was a joy to wake up every morning to the blue waves and the last thing to see is the silhouette of the palms against the sunset. Sit on the upper lanai to relax and enjoy the view. Plenty of beach area to build sand castles, go crabbing at night and warm water to frolic in. The host had beach towels available, sand toys, chairs, boogies boards, and a small Styrofoam ice chest...even umbrellas for those short warms rains; but we just ran out and played in them with the grandkids. There were 12 in my party and I wondered if we'd feel like we were on top of one another in the hale, but we did not. There was plenty of room for all of us and each room had air conditioning. I appreciated that the lower floor was designed to be open. It kept us altogether, which is what I wanted and my dream. In addition, I appreciated that there are two set of washers and dryers. It came in quite handy with so many towels and children's dirty clothes we went through. As my mother said when we first walked in, "This is a dream house!" ...and it was. Designed and decorated tastefully. We fulfilled our dream of bringing our ohana together after 7 long awaited years and made many joyful memories. We would recommend this place to anyone. Mahalo nui loa to our host, Joseph, who was always in communication with us. Aloha.
