Summary: Location, location, location!! Such a beautiful spot on the island with beach access right across the street! Beach 69 is only a few minutes north of the house, and it’s the BEST! The beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, snorkel gear, cooler, and cooler tote bags made our beach days very pleasant! Plus the Manuela’s Malsadas food truck is parked at the intersection of Puako Beach Dr and the highway every day. Mmmmmmm. The home itself was just right for our family of 3 adults. The Nuwave cooktops, outdoor grill, and toaster oven were plenty to cook meals on. The AC kept the bedrooms cool, and the super huge fans in the living and dining room kept those areas enjoyable also. (It’s just plain HOT there, so this was essential to us.) There is a great collection of books to read and a couple board games as well. The backyard lanai has a huge rod for hanging towels and suits to dry. The outdoor shower is fabulous also! I did not realize this was a shared property when I booked it, but don’t let that dissuade you. We never felt awkward or lost our sense of privacy. Thank you, Jan and Johnny, for sharing your home at such a reasonable rate.
