For us, two grandparents, adult son, and a family of four (4 and 7 y.o.) this house was a perfect home for the Thanksgiving week. Beautiful, elegant and well-crafted. Airy inside with tall ceilings (with the occasional gecko padding along upside down), lots of windows, beautiful materials and furnishings. We especially appreciated the ocean-facing side of the house opening completely, flowing seamlessly to the lanai, pool and jacuzzi and outdoor living room.
The master bedroom is the only bedroom in the main part of the house, while 3 bedrooms (1 master and 2 smaller) plus 2 bathrooms are in an air-conditioned bungalow a few steps behind (also plenty pleasant inside); lush greenery outside. For us this arrangement worked nicely, giving lots of space and extra room for quiet time. It also was handy in the morning when some would wake early and could go to the large living space in the front house without waking the rest in the back 3 bedrooms.
The pool got hours of use everyday, and while not heated, it was plenty comfortable once you hopped in and swam for a bit; the heated jacuzzi was also good for warming up. A slender path that runs through the community is all that separates this home from the lava rocks and surf splashing out front. Keiki sandy beach, a short walk along the path, was also fun for all and shallow, protected enough to wade and swim in. There are some fish too (mostly in the rocky edge areas), but look out for the occasional stray sea urchin in your path. And only a short drive to Kahalu'u beach for snorkeling.
Inside the posh kitchen were plenty of useful cookware, cutlery (Wusthof knives, nice), plus other items for cooking, and a grill on the lanai.
Close enough but not too close to town and stores.
All in all a beautiful, special house in a great spot. Thoughtfully remodeled. Geckos, mongooses and many kinds of birds shared the property. Made for a memorable and very relaxing visit.
