Great location. Clean. We did not need to contact Faith for anything as we didn't have any issues at all!
The unit is in a peaceful gated community. Shared driveway but the neighbor is very friendly in case their car needed to be moved to get into the garage. Only happened one time.
First floor is an open layout with a kitchen, dining room, living room (cable tv), laundry room, and full bathroom. Three large ceiling fans. Four large sliding doors facing the beach. A backyard with bbq charcoal grill. Also has a hose to rinse off or walk to the side of the house to the community pool area that has a shower.
Second floor has three bedrooms that share a full bathroom (open two sink and private shower/toilet). A masters bedroom with a walk in closet, full bathroom and tv. All bedrooms have ceiling fans. There is a portable A/C unit in one of the bedrooms but can be moved to any other bedroom with a sliding door. The ocean breeze and fans were good enough to cool everyone off except for one in our party that seems to run hot all the time. lol. Two of the bedrooms and the masters bedroom each have a sliding door to access the lanai that spans the ocean side of the unit. Great place to relax with chairs and a nice book or drink, etc!
Wifi worked really well for the ones that need to stream netflix,etc or if someone unfortunately needs to work a few hours :(
The rarely crowded beach out in front is rocky but has pockets of open areas for kids to play in during low tide. Just walk a minute over until the rock area ends for an endless sandy beach that is safe for kids. Some great snorkeling in the area just swim out a little. We went spearfishing a few days to feed our family with some fresh marbled hawkfish and some convict tangs and also was fortunate enough to catch a nice size octopus just a stone throw away from shore. We didn't get to surf or paddle board but we saw a few locals doing them.
The closest food source is Ted's Bakery (great pies!) which is about a 5-10 minute walk from the house. Closest market is Foodland(across from three tables/sharks cove) which is about a 5-10 minute drive and also has various places to eat.
Search for Ted's Bakery on a map online and it is a perfect estimate on where this awesome rental is and the distance from places you plan to visit.
Only minor issue we had was the lighting for the dining table at night is somewhat dark. We solved it by moving a lamp over from another room :)
Overall this was an excellent place to stay and would stay again in the future.
Mahalo nui loa Faith for being an awesome host!
