Fabulous house with an ocean view and a short walk to the beach. Wrap-around lanai (patio) was the highlight of our vacation! We ate every meal on it, had coffee in the morning, cocktails watching the sunset and just listened to the waves at night. You can see Spouting Horn in the distance and we saw humpback whales breaching. Older home but light & airy and filled with character. Comfortable furniture (including beds), well-stocked kitchen and book shelf. Huge front lawn gives you privacy and layout makes it all around feel private. Can walk to the Hyatt & Shipwreck's beach one direction and Poipu the other. One evening we walked to Poipu beach around 7pm and there were 38 honu (sea turtles) basking on the beach! Every day we saw at least one Hawaiian monk seal on the beach. We never had to contact Laura with questions but she checked in anyway to make sure we were happy. We were very happy with everything and highly recommend this house.
