8/10 Very good

Lovely property with excellent location in relation to the beachfront. Good-sized room (Maile) and comfortable bedroom and pullout bed mattresses. Very tropical vibe and quiet. Wasn't impressed with the fact that there wasn't even compimentary teas or coffee. Nor with the fact that the parking is very inconvenient and difficult for a larger vehicle. To have rented a vehicle to explore the island and to have to park it for the duration of our stay because it was impossible to get in and out by day (never mind what it would've been like at night). Motion-sensor activated lights along the driveway for evening drive up to the house or for a stroll up the long path to the house is an absolute necessity; not quite sure why that hasn't been priotized.

6/10 Good

The room was clean. What I didnt like is my bathroom wasnt in my room. The bathroom was the least clean part I litteraly found someones contact lense in the shower and someones pubic hair on the shelf to the right of the sink and I paid a $100 cleaning fee at the time of booking. If you're charging for cleaning make sure its actually clean.

This is a funky place. The driveway in makes you feel like you made a wrong turn, but the actual buildings are nice, well groomed, and well maintained. As for not driving past the driveway, look for the tiny, tiny old church across the street. There's a little beach literally _right there_, with a small sand area, a very protected swim area for the kids, restrooms, foot shower, picnic tables, etc. Surfer somehow get through the rocks on one side and make it out to waves. Owners/operators are extremely good and detailed with instructions. CVS and misc. restaurants are about a mile in one direction. Touristy stuff is about four miles in the other direction. One odd thing, for me. The bed is like three feet off the ground. If you're under five feet tall, you will honestly have trouble getting into the bed. A step stool would be nice. This is a great sunset beach.

Very comfortable and quiet. Loved the location far from the hectic Ali’s drive and close to Kahalu’u beach.
