They were still putting the finishing touches on the room when we arrived, so we dropped off our bags and went out for lunch with a friend. When we got back we were informed there was going to be a "soiree" that night, just a few people. From that description we didn't foresee any issue and went out for the rest of the afternoon, coming back with some snacks for the soiree.

The soiree actually developed into a full-scale college-age+ party, that naturally moved to the pool later in the night...after we went to bed. That wouldn't have been too big a deal, but the room in this listing is less than 8 feet from the pool...and without any AC you can't close the windows.

I would recommend this spot for young families who like to eat out often. The room has a double-size bed and a twin which is set up like a sofa. We didn't feel comfortable in the kitchen if others were there, and there wasn't a clearly defined location for us to put our food (we stayed for 7 days) in cupboard or fridge.

All the hosts were very friendly though. Thomas can keep some later hours, and the living space is right out the doors to this room - TV, exercise bike, etc. I'm a heavy sleeper once I fall asleep so it wasn't too big an issue on my side of the bed. If there's outside noise (like the yappy dogs across the street or the bird-feeder next to your window) you either have to deal with it or close all the windows, but then you're in a sealed, sunny room in Hawaii with no A/C.

Overall I wouldn't stay again but appreciate the hospitality this round. Mahalo nui loa & aloha.
