Incredible value in paradise

My family of 6 (4 adults, 2 teens), just spent two glorious weeks in this house. When we first found it on VRBO, we knew we wanted it and hoped it would be as good as it looked, it easily surpassed our expectations. We arrived around 9 in the evening and Larry was waiting with info in hand (so sorry we kept you waiting Larry!). First thing we all noticed was how clean the home was, spotless. Next thing we noticed was the sound of the crashing of the waves! During our stay, we found the home and outside gazebo were fully stocked with everything we could possibly think of, and more. We were pleasantly surprised to find an outside bathroom - very handy for keeping sandy foot traffic to a minimum and for running down from the gazebo rooftop. There is a Safeway close by which made it easy to stock up. Past guests have left items too so we didn't have to purchase everything, we left a few things for the next guests. Thank you 'Denise' and girlfriends for leaving your Oahu revealed book behind, great reference. The views from the front yard, beach, top of the gazebo, from our upstairs lanai...incredible. We were lucky enough to see whales almost daily from our front yard (binoculars came in handy). The water out front is shallow and safe but rocky. We brought our own water shoes but there are some at the house, in addition to snorkel gear, flippers, boogie boards. The crashing of the waves will lull you to sleep but if you are a light sleeper like me, the roosters start around 4 am...keep earplugs handy. This is no reflection on the house, roosters are everywhere on the island. Larry was gracious enough to let us have a later checkout as we had a late flight, much appreciated. So hard to leave this house, we can't wait to return. Thank you Larry!
