Excellent home, location cannot be beat. walked to the bay every morning(just a short little walk to the right when you leave the home) and then also just a short little walk around the corner and across the street to all the wonderful food the town has to offer. It gave freedom to our teenagers to walk in and out of town(or ride the bikes provided) or head to the beach! Our younger kids loved the ease of getting everywhere and the neighborhood kitties they got to help care for. Joan was the best host and so welcoming and kind. We saw rainbows and waterfalls daily from the front porch-this home and area is truly magical.

The house was lovely and the air conditioning was a very nice perk. It was well-stocked with beach and home essentials. The house is located very close to many of the Hanelei Bay restaurants, shops, etc. but is also in a quiet area, which is nice for evenings. It is also close to the beach. We enjoyed the cats and our host was very accommodating, especially when a communication mix-up changed our plans unexpectedly. I definitely recommend this home.

We loved our time staying at Joan's home. We are really having a difficult time back to real life and not being there anymore! The back lanai was a lovely spot to relax and read, rain or shine. We appreciated all of the beach gear, and our kid absolutely loved taking care of feeding the cats. The place is very spacious, kitchen is wonderful as is the AC! We hope to return soon.

Let me start my saying the property owner seems very nice and is very responsive. The house itself is weathered, in need of an update and a deep cleaning. It is very well located, right near town and about an 8 minute walk to the beach if you’re lugging equipment. I would recommend you like cats if you stay here. When we arrived there were about five plus cat beds, scratching posts along with tons of cat nip on the porch. The property owner had it moved when I asked but the outdoor doesn’t feel very clean and floors aren’t mopped and the furniture is not very clean. Overall we didn’t spend any time on the lanais or anywhere in the backyard because of this. That was quite disappointing. The house is well laid out and the size is comfortable but again, it doesn’t didn’t feel very clean. Wish I had a better review for it and hopefully it will get a deep cleaning in the future.
