Karen was very gracious in letting us into the house a couple of hours earlier than we had initially planned for! I had messed up time zones and unfortunately my husband and son both got sick on the plane over and were feeling absolutely miserable, so hanging out in town for a couple of hours until it was actually time to check in would have been terrible for them. Thank you!

The property is nice and so is the house. It's quite kid friendly in that Karen has lots of toys and beach stuff for kids and kids are definitely made welcome, but we did have to put some smaller pieces of furniture and some trinkets out of the way, cause we didn't entirly trust our son to not tip them over or break them by accident. The kitchen was well equipped, and the beds were comfortable.

The only thing we really missed was a washing machine and a dryer. I had assumed that there would be a coin operated, shared laundry facility on site, but if you need to do laundry, Karen has to do it for you for $15. Given the rate for the place, I feel that the use of a washer and dryer should be included in the price. Maybe we just got unlucky with sick people and the rainy weather which made everything humid and / or wet, but I find it hard to imagine not needing to do laundry for an entire week in a climate like in Hawai'i.
