Best thing was that Rainey texted us to let us know the place was ready early. That helped so much as we were navigating two children across the island and trying to figure out where we would be in the middle of the day.

The place made all the North Shore sites accessible and provided necessities. It was hot when we were there but Rainey provided many good fans and the place catches the breezes nicely.

There are a few quirks. The screens don't all fit perfectly and rain comes in the side windows so you have to leave them closed. We used some duct tape to close up the obvious holes and then had no problems.

As someone mentioned, the sleeping area has a low ceiling and even lower beam running the length of it. Didn't bother me but it makes the space just for sleeping, not hanging out.

Loved that there was a gang of about ten children that gathered in the evening in the cul de sac and played.

Sandy's sandwiches (the little green truck nearby) is sometimes not there on Sundays, in case you're looking.

With young children you won't likely use the beach that you can walk to (V land?). We drove the few minutes to Waimaea and Sunset for wonderful beach days. We had a lovely stay.
