Overall: The house is cute and in a very quiet area, listing pictures are accurate. Yes, the view is incredible!Disapointments: The listing says the black sand beach is a 19 minute walk away - not true. The road is closed going down to the beach (and it's a STEEP dirt road) so it's closed to the public; there was no TV (I didn't notice this in the listing, my bad); no curtains so it's quite bright at 6:30 am; check out requirements include taking out trash, washing dishes and beach towels (should be part of cleaning fee); no internet service once you leave the house as well as no cell service at all until you get into Waimea which is 30 minutes away; not close to dinner restaurants. Some of these disappointments would have been deal breakers for us.Pleased With: Kitchen is a good size (but a little outdated); very thankful to have bottled water, gatorade, coffee, etc. provided; beds and pillows are comfortable; good internet in the house; good communication with the property manager.BEWARE: We were given two addresses...the listing address starting with "44" is wrong in several places - GPS directed us down a very dangerous one-lane steep CLOSED to non-local traffic dirt road into the Waipio Valley. We were in a sedan and incredibly fortunate we made it back up the hill (locals told us that was nearly impossible, many people have had to abandon their cars). Only the address provided in the Arrival Information Driving Directions (starting with "48") is accurate.
