The house is as described, we had the upper portion of the house, great breeze constantly no need for air conditioning. Could sit out on the lanai and watch the dolphins play in the water. The equipment that is provided is above par, had no trouble navigating with the kayaks and the snorkeling equipment.
Sunsets were beautiful, we even got to see a wedding at the neighbors.
Only drawback, is you do share the equipment with two other houses and the lower apartment, and the cottage next to the house. It was first come first serve, however we did not have any difficulty getting equipment.
Will definitely stay there again when we return to Hawaii.
