3.5 / 5 — Incredible location, but half the house was unbearably hot We rented both halves of this house for a family trip of 20, and the experience was genuinely split down the middle. What we loved: - Location is unbeatable. A tiny walk to the beach with awesome views. - Beach chairs and umbrellas provided — a huge perk that saved us hauling gear and made every beach day easier. - Beds were fantastic. Everyone slept well (on the cool side, at least). - Laundry setup was great for keeping up with swim gear and towels after long ocean days. - Surprisingly quiet despite being right next to a bar. Never heard a thing. What needs work: - The AC situation on one side of the house was rough. Most of the units were broken, and with the Hawaiian sun beating on that side all afternoon plus the tropical humidity, it felt like sleeping a notch below a volcano. Multiple fans barely took the edge off. - The host said they "fixed" it, but it never really improved. They brought in window AC units to compensate, but there weren't enough of them and they couldn't keep up. - Toilet paper was rationed in a way that felt a little early-2020. With 20 people, a more generous supply would go a long way. - One unit smelled strongly of weed for the first half of our stay. - The trees you park under are very messy — expect sap, debris, or worse on your rental. Bottom line: If the AC worked properly on both sides, this would easily be a 4.5 star stay.

This house is incredible. It served our needs beyond measure. The host was very responsive and kind. We even had an AC issue that they quickly resolved to our satisfaction. It is very close to the beach where we routinely saw seals and turtles and where we waded in the water and sunbathed. I would absolutely use this Host and this location again.

We loved this property........had a large group so had both units. They were very clean and updated......lovely units. Access between units was a few step walk across a deck. Plenty of room/beds for our family of 16. We loved having easy access to the beach ....walking distance to surf shop, bakery and even other shopping within a mile.Highly recommend this property and the host and would absolutely stay here again.

We loved the area! It was so convenient to the great beaches!
