We had a wonderful time staying at this property! The description was accurate, it was easy to get to, and the beach access was right there. Some comments on other reviews and some notes from our experience:
-It is close to the road and you can hear the cars. It was hot while we were there so we had fans going around the clock and that drowned out the road noise, we didn't even notice it... until... every few minutes a car with subs would go by. We didn't know people still bumped that much anymore lol. It didn't go late though, the road quieted down a bit when it was time to sleep.
-There are a ton of things already at the house that you could need. We rented equipment from Maui Vacation Equipment Rentals and they coordinated with the property managers to deliver the items ahead of our arrival. We also stopped by Walmart on the way there to get items we didn't think the house would have. Come to find out, it had nearly everything. Extra fans (we like fans), beach toys for kids, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, umbrella, etc. We should have taken an inventory first because we didn't need to buy/rent all the extra stuff.
-The reviews said that there were only two AC units (in the bedrooms). Perhaps there has been an upgrade since those because there were 4 units: one in each bedroom, the living room, and the kitchen. They kept the house a great temperature even though it was high 80's outside.
-The back side of the property is paradise with it's own private yard and a shower to rinse off when you get back from the beach. The kids loved exploring around the yard, finding coconuts from the large palm and lizards galore, all while we could see them from the deck and kitchen.
-The master bathroom could use some more privacy. There aren't curtains/blinds and though it would be really tough for someone to see in, it was uncomfortable watching the cars/people go by thinking that someone could see in.
-The beach is a 30 second walk down a private path. The access was very easy, though the trail could be maintained more (large dead palm leaves that had fallen had to be moved so the kiddos could easily walk it.
This was our first time renting a house in HI instead of a hotel and we will never do it any other way now. Having multiple bathrooms, outdoor shower, laundry room, privacy, etc. was such luxury compared to a hotel. Overall, the property highly exceeded our expectations and we will definitely look to rent from here again!
