This 3 bed house is really a great place in a great spot. The living area is old style vaulted which is lovely. The place is dated, but it feels island-y so that really isn't a problem. Coming from ultra modern San Francisco it is quite a change, but a welcome one. The walk to beach is about 10 minutes and the local beach is Kahekili beach, which is great for snorkeling (though there are better). The beach is much better than Kaanapali (which is frankly awful) and is a great place to be based. It was never crowded. As for the house: There were ample boogie boards (no waves so we didn't use them). There were ample masks and snorkels for adults and kids (we didn't use because we brought our own) and a pair of fins (we had our own). Plenty of towels as well. There was a small beach umbrella, which does the trick for two, but we brought our own sand anchor and would recommend either your own umbrella with anchor or purchasing one. There were also a couple of coolers (which we used) and various other items. We did bring our own water shoes and those are essential for kids and less confident swimmers. The house had a fully stocked kitchen including many basic ingredients (no olive oil, but we left our extra bottle). There was also trash bags and dishwasher soap, as well as laundry pods (we never did laundry). Bathrooms has soap and hand soap as well. Shopping was really limited to groceries, which was incredibly useful. Carol had a bottle of wine for us when we arrived. Parking was easy and right next door. We used the car to go to farther beaches and the Safeway (about 10 minutes away). The lanai was very pleasant with a good gas BBQ. All switches were thoroughly explained with sticky labels (actually quite a good idea). The TV and entertainment area was lacking. No way to connect to the dated stereo system (bring your own UE speaker for hanging out). And the TV channels on DISH were not HD (funny how poor the picture quality was until HD). Also no premium channels and the only way to watch movies was a DVD player. So no movie nights here. A couple of issues. The proximity to the highway was just loud enough to be noticeable but not enough to disturb sleep. The windows are old style glass slats which don't do a good job of noise damping or insulation, but do a good job of airing the house out during the night. There was AC but we don't like AC and didn't need it during out trip. Daytime high inside was 84 and overnight that dropped to 80. AC usually causes someone to get an earache so this is a blessing. The sprinkler woke us up a couple of times. Carol was an excellent host. She restocked the washing pods when we ran out and was...
