We were surprised that Amanda and her family were not there to greet us but they had some friends do so. The location is beautiful, surrounded by ocean waves and cooler than Honululu with nice trade winds The local beach is private and lovely. The home space was a little smaller than anticipated and crowded for a party of 6. Ideal for a party of 4. It was nice to have an outside shower with warm water to wash off the sand, however there were no garbage bags or toilet paper available in the house. If you plan on attending a luau and show at the PCC, book it yourself in advance. I would recommend a more traditional luau on the beach instead of the formal show at the PCC.
