It is a very charming old Hawaii plantation house. It is not a luxury place, but it is very spacious. It was clean, no bugs, no weird smells. We were there in the "winter" and it did not get too hot, but this may be a concern in the hotter months, with only one bedroom with an air conditioner. If you plan to cook, you will need to bring any spices and condiments. It offers a "real" laid back Hawaiian feel that is a short walk to the beach.
