    Pictures are accurate and can’t really capture the beauty of the view and outdoor lanai area!Very comfortable home. AC in bedrooms worked well at night. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals. Grill is hard lined, so no worry about propane level. Plenty of dishes and serving platters/bowls. Pool and hot tub (not jetted, but nice and warm) stay very clean with whatever filter system they use. Opening up all of the doors on all sides when you’re home is lovely! Outdoor dining table is perfect for meals during sunset. Path in front of home to Queen’s Bath (small beach) is easy and a great place for a nice swim (watch out for urchins!).Very convenient to airport, Costco, Target, groceries, restaurants/shops on Ali’i Drive. Washer/dryer worked really well. Great pool towels and flat, sand free beach towels provided. Big closet with beach/pool equipment/toys left by previous guests (we contributed, too!). Check closet before renting any equipment. I was worried that pond/fountain would mean more bugs, but that wasn’t a problem at all. Sound of water flowing over rocks and into pond is so relaxing. We felt very safe in the gated neighborhood. Having a code (rather than keys) for all of the doors was very convenient. Communication with management about any questions we had during our stay was very efficient and thorough. Loved this home and highly recommend it!!
