This older home was comfortable and roomy. It appears that it can accommodate as many as six people, if everyone can share the one small bathroom.

It is in a good location to get to Hana Bay Beach in a couple of minutes (the beach across the road is useless except for the sounds of the pounding waves. It is black and very rocky with strong currents.) Stores and restaurants are close, too.

The grounds are beautiful with flowers, lime and banana trees, and lots of birds. The housekeeper chopped down some bananas and gave us some, along with limes.

The kitchen is large and fairly well-equipped. Note: There is no dishwasher or garbage disposal, if these things are important to you. It needs some things, like more flatware. There are only 4 forks. There are lots of tall glasses and wine glasses, but it could use some shorter glasses, not plastic ones, for juice and drinks like Scotch.

The house was clean, although the living room furniture could use a cleaning.

The small living room could use a table to put drinks on.

The hardwood floors (bamboo) looked newer and were gorgeous.

We loved the desk area - spacious to set up our computers and work on planning activities. The WIFI worked well, even during heavy rain storms, as did the stereo equipment. There is a CD player, but only one CD. So you would have to bring your own. The TV stations were adequate.

It rained for two days and had the coldest day on record. And, of course, we could not figure out how to close the windows. When it was cloudy, the house to me was very dark except for the desk area. I could not find any more blankets. We just layered up and put towels over with us.

It was nice to have the beach equipment - umbrella, chairs, etc. We had brought our own snorkeling gear.

We found the narrow "deck" difficult to use. My husband is 5'9" and barely could sit down on a small chair that we took out. Taller people would have to sit sideways.

The road in front of the house could be quite busy and noisy at times with loud trucks, motorcycles, and people blaring car radios. People drive much faster than the posted speed limit, so I did not feel comfortable walking along it.

It would be helpful to know what to do with the recyclables. We found a bin next to the washer and drier and put things in there, but did not know what is acceptable to recycle there.

All-in-all, a good visit.
