This house was absolutely beautiful. The location exceeded our expectations...right on the ocean, house very clean, and within walking distance to two beautiful beaches. We rarely had to drive anywhere. Great snorkeling at both beaches. We appreciated all the beach towels, chairs, and umbrella that were provided. There is a grocery store within walking distance which was convenient for extra needed items, but I would suggest doing most of your shopping at the Costco right off the freeway as you head to Northshore (I would highly advise to save money). I would also advise Ted's Bakery just up the highway a bit by Sunset Beach...yummy homebaked goods. The only suggestion I would make as far as the rental unit goes, is to fix the electric gate by the street - we would have liked to close it every night for safety/privacy reasons. We noticed most homes along the coast in this area had their gates closed. If you want a quiet, laid-back, spend quality time with family, read-a-book vacation...then this is the place for you! It truly holds the essence of Hawaiian culture and relaxed lifestyle, definitely worlds away from the busy city of Honolulu.
