The best aspect of this rental was the location, one block from the beach. Gorgeous beach, like a postcard! I was disappointed to find ants crawling out of a cabinet and into the coffee machine. No home brewed Kona coffee for us. Suprisingly, in this quiet little hamlet, there is a a McDonalds. The house has a second bathroom with shower outside which was handy for washing off sand. Plenty of windows meant the place stayed cool without any A.C. Balmy breezes and quiet broken only by birds chirping. Nice little back yard with hot tub and a covered area. The house was mostly clean but grease and hairs in the silver ware drawer were a turn off. Back bedroom smelled and rewashing sheets and blanket could not get rid of the smell. Don't know if it was just from the previous renter or a constant smell.

Comment by Owner/Manager:

We always leave or number and email and ask guest to call us immediately to address any concerns as it will be taken care of right away. Unfortunately the owner's cleaned the unit themselves after last guest and was not up to par. Professional cleaning crew went in to remedy situation and any odors.

We had fun thanks for a good time.

Island Country was exactly that...we enjoyed the country life of waking to the singing birds and the quiet neighborhood. Our host, Kia'aina was very friendly and helpful, meeting us at the home and making us feel welcome. A very nice touch was a welcome bowl of fruit, cookies, coffee and local goodies. The home was abundantly stocked with everything you could think of and more (as good as home). The house was cooled by the tradewinds which blew all during our stay, keeping the home cool, supplemented by the numerous fans. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the lanai and the girls thought they were 'big shots' by sitting at the bar on the lanai to have their breakfast. The evenings were spent on the lanai, girls in the jacuzzi and the adults enjoying the peaceful solitude of the country or playing pool in the garage. Our only regret was not getting to the beach...we're saving that for our next visit. Thanks to all of you for making our visit a very pleasant and enjoyable one.

The place was a little out-dated but it was very convenient.
