What an amazing location that is right across the street from two fantastic state beach parks (Carlsmith and Richardson), one for swimming and the other with great snorkeling and rock jumping activities. The house is delightful and a perfect landing spot for our 2 week visit. It really did feel like living in a bamboo treehouse with the panoramic wrap around porch. The hammocks on the porch were put to good use, and the steady breezes made it feel great to be outside and kept the house cool enough inside (there is no AC, like most homes in HI) with the windows open, even in the middle of the summer. It's very much an open floor plan so sound travels easily throughout the house - it worked fine for us since we did not have young children or infants with unpredictable schedules, but do know that it's not easy to seal up the noise in any particular area of the house as you can pretty much hear everything going on in the house when others are moving around or making noise (would recommend sound machine if you're a light sleeper or trying to block out noise). The house had all the amenities needed, and we actually cooked most nights and entertained friends multiple nights. Jim, the property manager, lives next door and was so friendly, responsive and helpful with every question/request that we had. Scott was lovely as well. We hope to come back again very soon and highly recommend this space for all!
