My little family spent 3 incredible months at this Waimanalo gem. After having lived on the island for 5 years we knew that our return visit had to be either here or the north shore, and I’m so glad we ended up here. The sounds of the waves crashing in the calmness of the night was equally as magnificent as taking the short stroll out to the beach for sunrise. Doris and Greg are such lovely hosts and I often looked forward to visiting with them at the beach in the mornings. The house has everything one would need to survive for an extended visit. The outdoor shower was my absolutely fav. The weather cooled during our winter stay but in the beginning it was warm enough that I took all of my showers outside. The beach 40 or so yards from your front door is generally a great spot for body boarding or frolicking in the waves. Our only complaints were the beds and the couches. The floor was more comfortable than the couches and we ended up picking up a couch at Salvation Army. One of the beds was well past it’s lifespan with springs all awry.
Ai Love Nalo is a must try for food you can feel good about. The poi bowls were my top pick, I couldn’t get enough. If you have kids the baby makapuu tide pools are a must. Just a few miles down before you get to the lighthouse.
