We absolutely loved, loved, loved the property. You feel like you’re on your own little tropical planet when you are at the there. Michael was nothing short of an absolutely amazing host. He’s quick to respond and always willing to help. The property is a tad far from some of the touristy places. However, that’s exactly why I rented it. If you’re going to the North Shore plan for about an hour and 15 minute ride. If you’re going to the east side of the island, that’s about an hour. Returning to the home was always a highlight for us. We found Makau to be the best beach on the island for us. It’s right down the street and if you go during the week, you feel as if you’re the only ones there. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for some peace and quiet and a true getaway. We were there with five adults and four kids, we never felt cramped at all. We all loved having the pool. Our kids were in it by 8:30 AM! The Sunsets from the lanai cannot be beat. Magical spot on the earth.
