Julie, the owner of the house, is among the best hosts I have ever dealt with. Friendly and prompt, she made sure everything was taken care of.
The location of her house is amazing. Waves crash feet below (and occasionally a little above!) the stone wall that separates you from the ocean. You can watch the dozens of surfers in Kahalu’u Bay as you lounge around in the pool. Lots of outdoor space, close to grocery stores, and only about ten minutes from downtown. Julie’s handyman/neighbor/friend Sid also makes for a memorable stay - he brought us fresh fruit several times and offered surfing lessons!
The house itself is nice and comfortable. The pictures are accurate. It has clearly been lovingly used by a family (as opposed to the pure vacation rentals often found on Airbnb), and to us that made it feel more like a home. I was there with a family of five and we didn’t want to leave!
