Kelly was very prompt to respond to our initial reservation request. The pictures were very accurate but don't describe how great this place is. During our stay we found out no new building is allowed in the area but this is a new place because it is considered a remodel I guess but residents told us it is new other than probably the foundation which allows it to be deemed a remodel. (Kelly would need to confirm or deny this). Because of this I think this place is a hidden gem for the area. Everything was very nice and completely new. Clean is an understatement. Everything was very bright, clean, and organized in the home. Great to have in-property washing machine and dryer as well. Several beach towels are provided along with two masks and snorkels and two boogie boards. We had a blast using these things at the beach just a couple minutes walk away from Hukelau Beach. After a quiet night sleep we could walk around the corner to a neighborhood breakfast/lunch cafe and eat with some locals. Speaking of locals, several big time football players came out of Kuhuku High School's football team roughly 7-10 minutes away. Football is big here. Go catch a Friday night game and you won't be disappointed. Long's and Foodtown Grocery Stores are close by to stock up when needed. Grab a shave ice at Angels right next to Food Town for a nice treat to cool off. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Hawaiian Temple is 5 minutes walking distance away and so is BYU Hawaii and The Polynesian Cultural Center is about a 3 minute drive away. You're close enough to the North Shore to get to those sites easily and quickly. Grab a Chocolate Haupia Pie at Ted's Bakery when you go by the North Shore or stop in a grab a great lunch at the food truck cafe (several trucks in one spot) across from Shark's Cove. Visit the botanical garden and see the Waimea Water Fall ($16 per person - little pricy for what it is but very pretty). Wear your suit and swim in the pool of the falls. So many hikes close by you need to stay for months to do just a fraction of them. When driving to the North Shore look off the side of the road (ocean side) near Shark's Cove and you may see several people stopping their cars to get out and see a Sea Turtle sun bathing - we saw two in one day.
Basically the property is AWESOME and close to so much. When you stay here you'll leave happy no matter what your interests are. Go out and enjoy what the area has to offer then come home and crash in a beautiful home...and repeat as many times as you can! Loved it! Can't go wrong with this place.
