This place had some real bright sides but with some maintenance and cleaning could be better. When we arrived there was a puddle on the kitchen floor due to a leak in the kitchen sink’s plumbing. Not sure how that wasn’t caught before we arrived. The hosts were responsive and the maintenance people were friendly and helpful, but we still had to deal with that for the first 2 days of our trip.
The place was also not as clean as we hoped it would be - there was someone’s hair ball in the shower drain, had to wipe down some of the drawers before putting away clothes, etc. The pictures definitely make it look nicer and bigger that it seems when you get there.
But that being said, still giving this 4 stars because the view and location are outstanding; and it’s hard to find that unless you’re willing to pay much more. With maybe a 10 minute walk to Sea Lodge Beach, 10 minute drive to either Anini Beach or Hanalei It’s centrally located for N shore adventures. It has a stunning view of the ocean and Kilauea from one side and the mountains from the other. We woke to an incredible sunrise every morning.
We also found 2 boogie boards, chairs, a beach umbrella, a soft-side picnic cooler, etc. for the beach, which were great to have.
