The place is in the typical Hawaiian natural setting from the patio of the house you can see the ocean and creek with thick woods. Birds chirp all the time. The living room is big and we feel that we were warmly welcomed. The only complaint my kids had was the weak wifi. However, I and my wife felt that we'd be better off without it. ^^ If you want a quiet and natural place, this is it. The host was prompt and very responsive as well.
