We just returned from our stay at Julie's place and can truly say that it was a slice of paradise! The photos don't do it justice....it's absolutely lovely. Our friends who are native islanders told us that the beach next door was one of the best snorkeling spots in Hawaii, and they were right. And the location as far as proximity to everything else was perfect....short distance to the more tourist spots and fine dining, as well right near the more relaxed areas to the south with locals and charming coffee shops (which is where we spent our time talking to locals). We stayed with our 4 year old daughter and the house was perfectly set up for us with her...pool floats and sand toys, ETC. And the kitchen was set up as a playground for me, with everything I could need...including actual sharp knives, a detail a lot of places forget. It isn't air-conditioned, but the fans and many windows and screened doors make it completely comfy to be in, even with a 4 year old. All of the linens were fresh and abundant, and the washer and dryer were essential to our stay. Thanks for truly creating a relaxing haven for our trip Julie!!!!
