Our family of 4 stayed here for the last leg of our trip. It was the perfect place to slow down from our adventures, and relax. We have dear friends in Captain Cook, and this location was an easy 15 minutes to them.
This is everything you’d expect from a 5-star rating. Clean, spacious, good beds, good linens, well-appointed, artfully decorated, stocked full-sized kitchen, and more. The lanai is divine. Note: you have a parking space, a gated community, and a washer/dryer here.
There are only two conditions to note, in case you/your party have sensitivities.
1) There is a unit above this rental, and depending on if, and how many, people are up there, it can be loud. We were unlucky and had over 10 people from at least two families (all ages) that were active/loud all hours of the days. It was regular footsteps, suitcases, cooking, movement, not yelling/partying. But the construction is thinner than a hotel (for example), and it woke us up early in the morning and kept us up late at night. We didn’t think talking to them would change much. I also think it wouldn’t be as bad with a single family/smaller party.
2) In the primary bedroom, the Mitsubishi-style AC unit blows air right across your heads on the bed. Just be aware in case you’re sensitive to that. You can either sleep with your heads at the other end or cover them with blankets.
All of the pros of this stay far outweighed those two cons, and we look forward to staying here again when we return. Mahalo
