Amazing Views! No comparison with anything I have seen. You feel as if you are on the prow of a ship with the ocean surrounding you. We arrived on a high surf warning day, and it was magnificent. The total fold-back glass wall leading to the deck is a wonderful feature also.
There is no air conditioning and many of the windows do not have screens. We did not have any mosquitos, but a few flies and moths made it in. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs as you will hear the roar of the ocean in your bed. This can also be a big plus! We were comfortable with the inside temperature in late February with only the screened windows open.
The interior is comfortable, with moderate casual beach-house decor and somewhat dated bathrooms. Bedrooms are spacious. Lots of beach supplies, toys, yoga mats, books, etc. provided. The owner lives across the street and is accessible.
There was no coffee provided, so bring your own if needed. The town of Laie is completely dry, so consider that when buying groceries or making reservations. We enjoyed Roy's at Turtle Bay a few miles away.
There is a short walk to a pretty private beach area which was deserted, but it was too windy for us on our visit. Ask for detailed directions as we had a little trouble locating the unmarked path.
The drive from Honolulu is easy and has gorgeous scenery.
