What a fantastic experience. From the moment I walked in the door—which I have sometimes braced myself for, especially when travel-weary—the stay was superb. The communication, directions, check-in were a breeze, and the place was completely immaculate upon arrival (a challenging thing in Hawai'i, where mold grows like, well...mold). Had a small glitch with the internet which Derek attended to promptly (turns out it was farther up the line at the company), and which afforded me the lovely opportunity to meet him and Jac. They are lovely! I have rarely had such excellent, responsive, and welcoming hosts. The location is splendid; I would have tea on the lanai watching birds each morning, and I would walk along the park and watch rainbows touch the ocean from across the street. I was able to explore across the north shore, walk to several local coastal areas and around the golf course for beautiful mountain views.
A tip: attend to everything in the house rules/instructions, as they are for your benefit! For instance, whenever I am in Hawaii I bag and seal every bit of food that is not in the fridge, keep things as clean as possible, and take out and/or seal perishable garbage ASAP. Bugs are plentiful in such tropical climes. I never saw any ants in this space, however—a first among several places I've stayed on the islands. Also, be aware that, as it is Hawai'i, there are roosters everywhere which crow at all hours of the night, and there is a resident overhead; if you are a light sleeper you may wish to bring ear plugs for the first night or two as you adjust (true for nearly any place in the islands).
