Beautiful Home! Perfect Location! We didn't want to leave!

Stayed: April 2013
We are a group of 2 families with 2 One year old infants. We arrived at the home very travel weary from staying on the Volcano side and driving with unhappy babies. The care takers had the Brand New Pack n Plays all set up in the bedrooms, and Brand new appearing Child booster seats all set up as well. It made transitioning our travel weary infants to the new home very very easy. To anyone traveling with infants and toddlers, you know what a big deal that is. :)
The home itself is beautifully remodeled and decorated. The photos on this site do no do it justice. The beds are comfortable and the house is very clean. Both kitchens are very well stocked with nice appliances and cookware. We cooked all of our meals during out 10 day stay except 2. Costco, Walmart, Safeway, and Target are all very close. It was easy to have what we needed.
We did buy 2 baby gates that we left at the house to keep the babies away from the stairs which are pretty steep. The baby gates worked perfectly. It was nice having 2 living areas as well. We were able to have meals in either area depending on when kiddo's were napping. We also bought a 3rd pack n play to take to the beach which we left at the house along with some sand toys as well.
The BBQ on the front ground floor lanai is very nice, as is the patio furniture. We had many meals out there. I thought it was going to be noising because of Alii drive being right there, but the tropical shrubbery blocked the area nicely from the road and it was very comfortable and relaxing.
The roof top lanai and hot tub have an amazing view of the ocean by day, and city lights by night. When the clouds from the volcano allow, the sunsets are beautiful from up there.
The air conditioning works very well in all of the bedrooms (which are most important in my opinion) and the down stairs living area. The upstairs living area AC had a hard time keeping up, so it was often hot in there during mid day, but cooled off nicely at night with the windows open.
It would have been nice if the caretakers could have turned on the AC the day we arrived as the house was 98 degrees inside upon our arrival and it took most of the day to cool it down.
The owners are very helpful and prompt in responding to questions or requests. House is close to everything but just far enough out of down town to be quieter. Magic Sands beach is just 1 mile south down Alii drive.
We had a wonderful stay. I'd recommend this house to anyone
