This house is fabulous and the sound of the ocean permeates throughout. An oversized lanai is great for catching ocean breezes. It is very well equipped and has a ‘newly built’ feel. The kitchen has professional appliances, pots/pans/every kitchen tool imaginable. The mattresses are very comfortable and each bedroom had its own bathroom. The house was very well stocked with luxury shampoo & conditioner, body wash, toilet paper, paper towel, laundry detergent, dish washer detergent, hand soap, etc.. They even had yoga mats and binoculars. Every space, inside and out, is deliberately planned for optimum enjoyment. Even the beach gear was highest quality: Tommy Bahama.
Our absolute favorite activity was finding turtles on the beach out back early in the morning and watching them return to the ocean. You WILL see multiple turtles every day.
Exploring the ocean’s edge and multiple tidal pools was fun - they had fish, little crabs, and sea urchins.
A nearby General Store is quaint but has nearly every needed essential as well as great coffee and home made chocolate chip cookies.
Here is a point I did not know: the ocean that abuts the property is not a wading beach (except for very adventurous and fearless folks). But there is beautiful Hapuna Beach which is a nine minute drive, that has wonderful white sand, and beautiful sunsets! Take a right out of the property and at the end you will find a great place to snorkel (terrain is a bit tough but worth it)!

Three generations family vacation. The house, amenities and setting were just great. The pictures really didn’t do it justice.
Would love to return someday.

My family really enjoyed our time here. Now we are spoiled and can never stay anywhere but a house on the beach. My kids loved running down to the beach every morning to see the sea turtles which made their appearance every single day of our trip. The house itself was as described and had everything we needed to enjoy our trip. Only wished it had a pool and larger tvs but this would not deter us from returning.

Incredibly well-appointed home, has everything you need. Sparkling clean, great layout, gorgeous setting. Amazing snorkeling directly off the beach. but only for the experienced as you need to understand tides and how to navigate urchins!

I have stayed here before and was so happy to have dates that could sync up again with my travels. This is a lovely home that wraps around a stunning old growth tree, with a verdant lush backyard, but that is also just steps from the ocean. The best of both worlds.

This amazing home and property is just what the photos look like. Fantastic location and home with everything needed. Kristen, the property manager, was so easy to communicate with and quickly addressed an issue with the broken refrigerator/freezer. She went above and beyond to make our stay worry-free. Mahalo for a much-needed getaway in such a gorgeous home.

This house is perfect for family and friends with easy access to the beach. Saw lots of turtles every day and the snorkeling was superb. Great lawn for relaxing and viewing the dive boats off shore
Very well equipped kitchen and the bedrooms were comfortable
The house has a ohana suite which our younger family members enjoyed having some alone time
Lots of beach toys and close to hapuna state park so lots for everyone to do.
