Everything other then the weather was great. Thanks

The house itself was very nice and in good condition. The location of the house is a 2-3 minute walk accross a street and then a park. The view of the ocean was partial. The view is blocked on one side by another house and the other by large trees/shrubs. There are powerlines going directly through the view. The part most frusterating to us was the lack of items we felt should be in the house. There was no handsoap in one bathroom. The BBQ was out of propane. There was a limit to the number of washes on the washing machine. There were only 5 dishwasher tablets. We had to supply more toilet paper. Literally, there was not enough TP in the house! No extra garbage bags. These are all things that should have been included. We did pay $4000 for the house. We felt that the $10 in extra supplies should have been included. Also, the first things we had to do when we got there was 1)pick up the chineese containers from the back deck (presumably from the cleaners' lunch) and 2) take out the garbage. I really felt that the cleaners should have taken the garbage cans to the street. I'm on vacation and didn't want to take out the garbage. So overall the house was fine, the view was not as good as we had hoped, and we felt the house management was being cheap with the standard supplies.

Pictures posted are accuratly reflected from views from the house. BBQ was left on by prior guest, tank was last replaced 30 days ago. Guest called to have replaced and was immediatly brought a new tank. There is no limit on number of washes on the washing machine. Extra garbage bags are located in the pantry extra TP is located under sinks in bathrooms. We do recycle soda cans and have in a trash container in the garage. Please dont mistake the recycled cans as trash as we are trying our part to keep the island clean.

Location for this house is perfect. Cross the street and you are at the park. It was perfect for our family with kids in that the house is really nice but not so super nice you are afraid you will ruin it. It is very comfortable and accomodating. It is much bigger than the pictures make it out to be, with plenty of space to spread out. Layout is a bit querky in that the downstairs and upstairs definitely feel seperated, but it works well as there are different places for people to hang out and have space. Bathroom, Kitchen, Appliances, everything worked and was good quality. It's a bit bare when it comes to cooking and dishes, as in there are 6 coffee cups, 8 plates, 3 cereal bowls, utensils for 6 or 7, we ended up supplementing with paper plates, cups and bowls. On the other hand there are beach toys and boards for 12, so what it lacks in one area it makes up in another. There is plenty of parking and a garage. Noise at the park on the weekend nights went fairly late, but wasn't really disruptive. I'd highly recommend this house for a family that enjoys the beach... Highlight was watching the Sea Turtles surf the waves at Brennecke Beach, and watching the fish up close at Baby Beach, as well as the children getting up each morning and chasing the roosters around the park... you can see the grass from the deck, so we let them just run and run and run...

Thank you for such postive comments! Extra dishes and pans are lcoared in the adjacent cabinets and new sets of untinsils added.

The unit was very conveniently located, although the actual view was a bit misrepresented in the photos. The actual view is of power lines, a street, and a parking lot for Poipu beach. Inside the unit, it was lovely. The linens were great, and they had wonderful amenities including boogie boards and things for the beach. Owner may want to consider using a different local person as a contact, as we were 8 people and notified the local caretaker that 2 of the toilets didn't work (1 had no chain connected to the handle, and the other just had water pouring out of the tank if you tried to flush it). She said she would get her husband the handiman right on it, but 8 days later, we still only had 2 toilets. That's a shame in such a lovely home. Another tip would be to open up the house before guests arrive. When we got there, is was completely closed up and hot, hot, hot. Lunches were the best. Bouchons in Hanalei, the Snack Shack in Old Kaloa town, Duane's burgers, and Puka dogs were all good. There was a great restaurant past Princeville overlooking the Hanalei River with the freshest Sashimi we had during our trip. Kipu Ranch is lovely, and we explored it by ATV, kayak and hiking. The best beaches are in Hanalei Bay. We rode in open helicopters, took the Zodiac trip to see the Nepali coast, trip zip-lining, and each adventure was terrific. The luau at the Plantation was a fine experience, but go for the entertainment. The kids had a blast.

The maintenance request was made as a non emergency request and has been fixed. Unfortunately the request was miss communicated as non urgent. The guest had my personal phone number as they were greeted upon arrival and told if they needed assistance to please call. The photos of the house have been taken directly from the property.

What I liked best about the unit I rented was the location. My advice to someone else staying at this unit would be: 1) There aren't many towels, about 6 bath towels and 2 beach towels in total 2) The dishwasher is really heavy and can easily fall to the ground or injure someone that's not expecting it's weight. 3) The bathtub in the master does not plug up. 4) There are not shampoos or conditioners but there is ample body soap
