This place is as lovely as the pictures, with a great lanai to relax on. Look for the short-cut that cuts your walk to Magic Sands Beach in half, though the walk following Kaipoi St. is nice, and not that far. The Beach Grill outperforms expectations - everything was delicious there. We used this as a jumping off place for rental car trips to Volcanoes National Park and Pu'uhonua O Honaunau, where we used the house's snorkeling gear to see a colorful array of fish. Not wanting to pay for a rental car for our whole stay, we were happy to find there's a Hele-on bus stop at the foot of the hill, which got us to downtown Kailua and to the airport for the rental car.
