Definitely bring earplugs as most people suggest in Hawaii! There are lots of peacocks and roosters and sometimes the neighbors are a bit noisey. There is a beach just down the road that you can snorkel at. The view is absolutely gorgeous! The bed itself isn't super comfy, but the pillows are amazing! A better kitchen than I even have at home, but we were not here often enough to utilize it much. The weather was pleasant enough we never used the A/C. It's a 45-75 minute drive to Honolulu, but it's a great home base and the drive is beautiful.
