While the house does have some wear, it is a wonderful place for a family vacation. The beach felt refreshingly private and is just steps from the back door. Our family, ages 11 up to 70, had a fun and restful time! The youngest would wake up early, run out the door and immediately start playing on the beach.The house has plenty of cookware and utensils, plenty of lounge chairs on the patio for sunbathing readers, plenty of toys (sand toys, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, volleyball), beach chairs to go by the water, and plenty of beach towels. The host thoughtfully had everything we could possibly want or need. He also quickly responded and took care of us.The house doesn’t have a/c, but with plenty of windows to open and plenty of fans all over the house, we felt comfortable and slept comfortably.While the house is in a fantastic location as far as distance from iconic Oahu tourist experiences, the road in front of the house can be difficult to turn onto due to traffic. If we were leaving the house during heavy traffic, most of the time, a kind motorist would allow us to cut in. Our family alternated tourist days with rest days. We spent an entire day at the Polynesian Cultural Center, zip-lined through Kualo Ranch one morning, visited Pearl Harbor (highly recommend the submarine museum), toured North Shore, ate as much Hawaiian food as we could get. Make sure to check out the food truck park in Kahuku. Aloha!
