We were very pleased with the location of Marti's home right in front of the beach. At night you can sleep with the door open on the second level and hear both the surf and the wind blowing through the palm trees. We loved the authentic Hawaiian decor and coziness of the home. We were also welcomed by a guest basket filled with Hawaiian fruit and sweet treats, a really nice touch. When the front door lock broke, Marti had her handyman there practically within 10 minutes! I've never been able to get that kind of service back home. We really enjoyed the privacy of the location and even though there is a condo with pool next door, it was very quiet. This home more than met our expectations!
