Karon's place was exactly as described, plus more. We felt ourselves decompress as soon as we got there. It's just steps to a great beach with calm waves, and a relaxing lawn to sit in chairs. The cottage is very well supplied: everything you need for cooking, good number of towels, beds/pack-n-play and even sand toys for the kids. We stayed here with our three small ones, and found it very comfortable. The lanai is just perfect as well. There are plenty of great places to grab food, especially with the incredible food trucks all over this part of the island, as well as a grocery store nearby. We were less than an hour from everything we wanted to get to, such as hiking closer to Honolulu and making our way from the airport, to visiting a lagoon and parks about 10 minutes away. Should we ever return, we will definitely stay here again!
