Lee's home was just as described and the photos capture it perfectly. There is an outdoor shower which is a big plus with all the sand & trips to the beach. You can hear the sound of the ocean at night. We did find that the beaches, sights, restaurants, and shops we wanted to visit were out of town... 20-30 minutes away. One fav area: Paia is 15-20 minutes away depending on traffic, a charming, town with great food options like Surfclub. Best food on the island: Mama's Seafood. Hint: go midday to get a table without a reservation. It's usually fully booked if you just call and check out the small beach w the giant turtle.
