Gary's place has over a dozen truly excellent features and he is a terrific host. The location is ideal for access to two of the best beach and snorkeling spots on the island: Kahalu'u and Magic Sands (La'aloa). The local mall with supermarket, stores and restaurants is a great place to find everything you need for your stay. And once you return to the studio with your fresh catch or groceries, the kitchen supplies and condiments are superb. We enjoy a mix of grilling fish and dining out when we are in Hawaii, and at Gary's place, everything you need is at hand. The studio is comfortably spacious. The bath, beach, and laundry amenities are all top-notch. The ocean views from inside the studio and lanai are exactly as advertised, and never cease to delight. Gary is a host who has thought of everything and a long-time resident who is very knowledgeable about the island, should you have any questions.
