I have a newfound respect and appreciation for Oahu after our stay here. The house was perfect for our needs. Being able to walk to Aki's beach was the highlight for us. We shared that spot mainly with turtles. Much of the time, we were the only ones on the beach. It's a perfect little spot. In the house, we really appreciated the high-quality sofa, TVs, appliances, and finishes. We made good use of the kitchen and cooked most of our meals for the week. As noted by others, the adjacent crowing roosters and barking dogs are a presence, but the white noise machines in the bedrooms masked the sounds entirely while sleeping. The barking dogs and flies (likely from the adjacent poultry) detracted from our use of the pool, but who needs a pool when you have that beach available? Cynthia was a kind host with excellent and prompt communication throughout. Highly recommended.
