HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
First of all, Paul is an amazing host and was the best part of our stay. We did not meet him in person, but his communication and accommodation of us was beyond five stars. We travel a lot, and Paul was most definitely our most impressive host. We are extremely grateful to him.
The house itself is wonderful! Extremely clean, high ceilings, modern decor, comfortable furniture.
We loved the fenced in pool area. We never actually swam in the pool, but we spent a lot of time lounging there and playing a fun ring game (ring attached to a long string, you have to try to swing it onto a hook...I've seen it at some bars before). The view out there is spectacular!
The beds were really comfortable. The bed in the master bedroom upstairs was a really plush, soft, luxurious pillow top mattress. The beds downstairs were firm and supportive. The sheets were soft, heavy sheets that felt very fancy. There was a great mix of pillows, including big and poofy, firm, fluffy, memory foam, etc. The towels were also really nice and plush, and he supplied high quality huge beach towels. There are AC units in every room which is a rarity and boy, we loved that luxury! The hammock out back was really relaxing as well. We loved the big sectional sofa for lounging in front of the TV after a long day. We also appreciated the washer and dryer in unit, which came with laundry detergent. The washer is huge!
We didn't end up going to the beach during our stay, but we noticed a lot of nice beach supplies for snorkeling, hauling kiddos, etc.
Oh, and the kitchen!!! So nice to have a fully stocked kitchen.
Finally, the location was perfect. We spent a few weeks in HI before staying here, and spent a lot of time on the beaches. We were pretty beached out by the time we arrived. We really appreciated the view of the mountains instead of the beach, and loved how close we were to shopping, hiking, and other activities. That being said, it's like a 5 minute drive to the beach.
Overall we LOVED our stay here and absolutely plan on staying in another property of Paul's each time we come back to Hawaii.
