Our host made us feel very welcome! The location was wonderful - right on the ocean. The waves lulled us to sleep when we turned off the air in just the master bedroom. We closed the door and kept the AC on in the rest of the house. We spent much time outside. There was something for everyone… and more! We used kayaks, life jackets in different sizes, floating rings, beach and sand toys, places to wash off sand, places to sit in the shade or the sun, beach towels, fins and snorkels, a grill, and three different outside lanais. Inside we enjoyed a well equipped kitchen, plenty of beds and towels, the decor as a collection of art and items of interest, the book collection with the ability to trade, and the book with expectations and additional activities listed. We also liked the guest book as it is fun to see where people are from who stay there. The people in the little stores across the street were very friendly and we shopped there for last day souvenirs! We found a place to snorkel down by the Hauuka public beach just about a 1/4 mile away and some hiked a trail just up the road. We used this home as a family vacation spot so three generations could be together and yet go off and explore as desired. This worked very well! We would come back again, which is one of our highest forms of recommendation!
