This is a beautiful property, and the photos do not do it justice. The interior spaces are large, spotless, and beautifully appointed with so many thoughtful touches. Everywhere you look inside and out there is something pleasant - art, etched class, a well-chosen piece of furniture - to see. Both the owners and the property manager are lovely to deal with and made us feel looked after even with a hurricane rolling in. The house is a short drive from the beach in a peaceful community away from the tourist madness, very private, and quiet in the evenings; we loved preparing meals from the excellent sunshine markets while our children swam, eating them in the airy dining area, and stargazing at night. The day we spent "in" when Iselle blew through was a pleasure - try saying at about any other property - reading and watching movies in the comfortable living room that was cozy while at the same time being large enough to dance in should you choose. You do need a car, but within 5 minutes' drive are several wonderful restaurants, an outstanding fish market, and beaches for swimming, snorkeling, boarding, tidepooling, whatever you wish. If you like to bike the terrain is level and there are several places close by worth exploring. Families with very small chilldren should note that there are sliders all around the house that open onto a courtyard with a pool, and one of the bedrooms is in an ohana suite that locks off separately. This was not a problem with our 10 year-old, who loved the privacy and is a good swimmer. We spent much more time here than we thought we would on this trip just because it was so relaxing and pleasant. Thanks to Mark and Kristi for all e love they've poured into this home!
