The home is in a great location for reaching the north shore and the west shore. The lunch trucks at Kaluku, were great ... we expecially loved the Thai food. Really enjoyed the 2 loop hides in the foothills less than a mile from the home. The shorter one was a nice variety of plantlife. A monk seal often hangs out on the beach across the street from the home and then 200 yards northd.
The large, open area on the main floor provided good table space, etc. for our 3 generation family of 16. The home was very functional and we enjoyed using the beach towels and the boogie boards. The home is dated and could use some work but was functional. No dishwasher but by using paper plates keeping everything clean daily was easy. We used the large capacity washer/dryer daily for the beach and other towels.
Kawela beach, just west of Turtle Bay, was a fantastic place with virtually no waves. Great for kids learning to swim with shade nearby and some large turtles on the west side of that quiet bay. It is fairly quiet and picturesque .... the site of many movies and TV productions such as "Lost".
Fawwaz was a great host and responsive to our questions.
