#1 - There is a separate and additional Hawaii TAT (occupancy) Tax that you will have to pay above the amount listed. It's 14.95% so be prepared for that additional bill right before you come to stay.
#2 - The location is right on the beach. Walk out the gate and you're on the sand. Couldn't ask for a better location.
#3 - The house is the first 2 story home built on the beach in 1929 so while you can tell it's old it is charming. The kitchen & some of the bathrooms have been updated. The carpet has also been replaced with wood panel flooring. The grill area has also been updated with stone and granite. The Pool is great when the beach is windy or chilly.
#4 - Angelene the care taker lives on site and is amazing. Super quick to respond, extremely helpful and very friendly.
#5 - The house does not have any A/C so on warm days/nights you'll need to keep the windows open and turn on all the fans. We were there in February and only had a couple night that were a bit warm where we needed the fans.
