We'd assumed the house would be cottage-sized but it was enormous and gorgeous—it's a historic Japanese-style home that has been renovated and expanded and felt very luxurious! The location is super convenient for visiting Waimea Canyon and the towns along the South/West Shore, though if you're looking for complete privacy or wilderness this may not be what you're looking for since it is on a residential street. Check-in was very easy—it involves stopping by a property management place for the keys but it's only a block away. The house had everything we'd need and more, including a selection of local snacks. We felt very pampered and loved the outdoor shower!
