Really enjoyed our stay. It wasn't perfect but was just what we needed. Very close to many things we wanted to do, and we had use of the pool and house. The up-side was there was nobody to bother us at all and we could spread out and come and go as we wished. It was very quiet most of the time. We loved the chirping of the coquí frogs at night and enjoyed the visits from geckos. The only traffic noise was early morning rush hour so ear plugs are a consideration if you aren't an early riser. Like most of Hawaii, guests will probably need a car because most places you will want to go can't be reached on foot.
