We were very disappointed with the pictures that did not reflect the room. It showed view of water, we were unable to view the water. The area looks shady, but was quiet. No TV with 2 kids was not the buisness. It was hot and muggy and no AC. It had roaches and was bite but something 2 times. I was grateful it was close to the airport.

Great stay in the middle of town, easy walk to the ocean. Quick drive to multiple world class snorkeling sites. We loved sleeping on the lanai.

This was a one night stay for our family of 6 before flying home early the next morning. It suited us fine for the night. Communication with hosts was amazing and easy. Very clean, amply stocked kitchen, linens, etc. Beach stuff to borrow (snorkels etc) for those who stay longer than us. Residential neighborhood location is amazing if you want to walk to everything in town. No AC so can get warm, but 2 ceiling fans and 2 portable fans. There is one interior room with 1 bed, and another room with 2 beds. The room with 2 beds is basically a screened in porch area, and there is an adjacent smaller non-screened lanai with chairs that would have been nice to hang out on if we stayed longer. It had an ocean view peek over the downhill buildings. Despite the screens, it had a very outdoor feel which was fine for us but maybe not everyone, and a few interesting insect friends (7 inch praying mantis!) got escorted out. Kind of a funky place, fairly basic, well aged but comfortable dining chairs, lots of character, on a 2nd floor above a carport (where you can park). If you are mobility challenged the stairs might be an issue. Mahalo to our hosts!

Check-in was smooth and the owners were very responsive and helpful. The decor was flavorful. The lanai room was fun for my kids. A few minor complaints: the windows had only screens so it was a bit loud and hard to fall asleep (surprisingly more traffic than the small neighborhood location would suggest, the toaster lever needed to be held down to get it to work, and the clothes dryer was crazy loud (but it did work). The biggest complaint were the numerous spider webs and big spiders outside in the backyard. No spiders were seen inside. Would recommend.

It was lovely, clean, beautiful view of the water, very safe, free parking, a wonderful place to wine down and relax, great coffee and comfortable beds, and lots of fresh air, I would recommend coming here and unwinding from city life. They even have everything you need to go to the beach or surfing, we where greet and welcomed by the owner with smile and open arms, that made us feel right at home, thank you, I will be coming and recommend this place to all our friends and family.
