One of everything in the kitchen which was nicely appointed. Great family area and a long hall with 4 great king, one double queen room which were very private with full baths and a TV. Fabulous large master! Beach wave view was wild and beautiful. Nice tide pool off to the right. Small backyard for the kids. Close to Na Pali and other points of interest. In a quiet neighborhood which we respected!An excellent stay.

Seven adults ranging from 37 - 72. The photos were very accurate. The views were stunning. The home was so very clean and excellently stocked. We cooked several meals and every tool we could possibly need was there. Each member/couple has their own bedroom and it was private when we wanted and gathered in the living room when we were social. Met often in the hot tub at night under the stars. Did loads of laundry! My kids set up the ping-pong table and played a few games. Location away from town and private but close enough for a morning coffee. Six of us took a helicopter ride. Highly recommend. Such a great and efficient way to see the entire island!

This was one of the best vacation properties we have ever enjoyed. Beautiful home with everything and anything one could possibly hope for. Neat and tidy as a pin, we opened all the windows and sliding glass doors to let the warm breezes and the sounds of the waves run through the house. Just amazing. The beach is 10 feet off the house.

This is an incredible property, and one of the most peaceful and serene locations that you can imagine. The house is very large and open. The layout will allow for privacy if different families are staying together. The rooms are large and comfortable, with A/C units in each bedroom. The beach is a very short walk down a few steps, and the snorkling in the ocean over on this side of the island is breathtaking. Just a wonderful stay... thank you! PS - I'll upload some photos of the sunsets we took from the back porch.

We had an amazing time at this house. Beautiful ocean front property in a quiet neighborhood. It is an hour drive south to do most excursions. Hot tub was not working until our last night but the owner sent someone right away to check it-fortunately that was the only thing that didn’t work. The kitchen came very well stocked and the view was amazing! We all had a wonderful time there!

We started relaxing the moment we arrived. Three generations played on the beach, snorkeled, feasted and relaxed together. We hope to return soon.

Beautiful home in a fantastic location.We cooked in most nights, which was ideal, as it is a 20min drive to Hanalei. Well stocked kitchen allowing us to enjoy the process. Very spread out family room, allowing for lots of people to sit around and watch the game or play games. Great big kitchen table.Very comfortable beds. Quiet neighborhood. AC units in each bedroom were appreciated.

We had a great time staying here. It was a great house, had everything we needed, it was nice to have the AC units to keep rooms at a comfortable level. The location on Tunnels beach is amazing, views are great, and property is really nice. It was a wonderful house to stay at!

Clean, spacious house with well equipped kitchen.Loved the layout of the house where 3 generations enjoyed time together but could also retreat to a different part of the house to enjoy quiet rejuvenation time when needed.Walked along the beach to Tunnels Beach and enjoyed the beach and gorgeous sunsets.Headed in other direction along the beach and enjoyed many different tidal pools with a totally different view and feel. We really liked having the outside shower to rinse the sand off before heading into the house.Whether relaxing on the beach in the beach chairs & umbrella provided at the house or enjoying the ocean view from the living room, dining area, kitchen or outside deck we always felt like we picked the perfect place to enjoy our family vacation together.

The house is a dream! Spacious, clean, beautifully decorated and the view is spectacular. It feels like you are in your own little private piece of paradise. The host was easy to get ahold of and checked in on us multiple times to be sure all was going good. Ideal for a family or group vacation. It was everything we could have wished for and more. We hope to be back one day!

Highly recommend a stay for a group—we enjoyed the property with our multi-generational group. We walked down the beach to snorkel and also loved relaxing at the house. Sandy’s Supper Club’s Chef Andy came to the house and cooked an amazing dinner in the great kitchen. A stay. Thank you.

If I could give more than five stars I would. This house was absolutely perfect. It was clean, had everything we could ever need and more inside and was in the most perfect location. My husband and our six children had an absolute blast here to end our Christmas and new year adventure island hopping in Hawaii. We loved walking the beach to get coffee in the mornings and spending our afternoons and evenings alone on the beach. The hot tub was a perfect place to cool off with winter waves a picture perfect background. The host was extremely communicative. Over all A!

Incredible views, beach, snorkeling, tide pools, all were wonderful. The most well appointed kitchen, in any Vrbo home we have stayed. Plenty of room for the whole family. Rooms were lovely beds were perfect for a great nights sleep with the sound of the waves.

The home is situated on a stunning, dynamic, and beautiful beach. It was perfect for our family get together. Plenty of room as well as privacy for all. Among my favorite details: the hammock between the trees, the outside shower, the well supplied kitchen, spacious living area. This home was a warm and gracious backdrop for our days of swimming, exploring and relaxing.

Amazing home and best location on earth. Was perfect for our family and my sister’s family. The ocean was perfect for teenagers. Not sure it would be as great for younger kids as the calm part of the ocean is a bit of a walk but it was a perfect set of waves for teenagers. The hot tub was also lovely on the day it rained.

This was an outstanding property. My family and I truly enjoyed our time there. We appreciated everything from the quality of the home to how it was thoughtfully furnished. This is truly a superlative home and was a treat to spend a few days there. The owner was extremely accommodating and did a great job of communicating to us prior to and during our stay. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

We loved staying at this beautiful house. Perfect views of the beach, very well equipped with everything we needed, helpful property manager. There was no ping pong table that we could find and the twin beds are more like a couch, but otherwise everything was just as promised. The beach our front is very rough in the winter, so you definitely need to walk down to tunnels or Ha'ena to get in the water.
