What a great place to stay! If you have a family with kids, this place is perfect. We love the North Shore so the location was perfect for us. Hanalei Bay is just a few minutes down the highway and there is a great beach about a 15 minute walk down the road. Probably my only complaint, which is no fault of the owner, is the mosquitoes/biting gnats. If I went out onto the lanai without bug spray, I got eaten alive! Otherwise the place and location is AMAZING. No air conditioning but that wasn't an issue for us and is clearly stated. Plenty of big windows and fans to use. The rain storms sound amazing with the "jungle" setting out your window.
