Propriété face à la mer: les étapes de la plage 2BDR

I usually book properties based on reviews, so I will try to be detailed, hoping this will help the next potential tenants.

Location: the plus is that you are very close to the beach...just behind the big main house on the property (no actual beach view), the negative is that the property is located right next to the public parking area that everybody uses when going to this beach. During the day - not an issue, but at night...oh my god! We stayed there for a week and every single night people had loud, very loud music there, they were racing up and down the street and creating extremely loud noises with their engines (older trucks with big mufflers, so it was crazy loud). There's a note in the house to call the police for this, but when we tried - they didn't care. Also, there's a lot of rosters running around, so be ready to get up around 4-5am every morning.

The house: very, very outdated. The pictures look way better. The couches downstairs are different than pictures - old, stained and just not pleasant to sit on. Pretty much all the walls in the house are dirty, covered with stains...definitely needs a new paint or major cleaning. The sheets and blankets are also old and smelled bad. It was cold at night and we had to use 3 separate throws since there were no actual blankets there. I guess the pillows would be personal preference, but for the 3 of us they seems so bad. We all had back and neck pain from the mattresses and pillows - just seems old and worn out. All the faucets and shower heads were white plastic - maybe not a big deal to somebody, but for the kind of money they're asking - I expected something a little better. The kitchen was so small that you can forget about coking a nice meal in there....just some quick breakfast maybe, but it's extremely small.

Overall - we were very, very disappointed with this property. You definitely don't get what you pay for.

This place is situated just off the beach (with it's own short path to the ocean, and a with a private sitting area on the beach) behind the owners home. It's homey and cozy and very comfortable (the ability to blast the AC and shut out the sun in the bedroom being key!). The lanai is off the second floor bedroom, which is great - keeps the mosquitos at bay. A grill, a great little kitchen and a private yard and outdoor shower make this a perfect place to hole up and ignore the outside world. The place is right next to the peer (some noise but it's happy beach noise) which is so convenient to paddle boards, rentals, tacos and more! And the surf is noticeably calmer on this side of the bay (versus the other end of the bay) making it great for kids and families to swim - but that could also be a time-of-year thing. All and all, a PERFECT stay.

We just returned from our second visit to Nathan and Nanci's guest house and will definitely be back. The guest house is small but perfect for our small family - the location could not be better. The house is well appointed and the kitchen has everything you need to cook meals there. Great outdoor shower and a short path to the beach, around the main house. I met Nathan, who was in the main house for a few days while we were there - he was a great host and was super friendly, with some good surf tips. For surfers, the house is situated as close to Hanalei Bay/Point as you can get and there is good family surfing right out front next to the pier. Thanks for another great experience, Nathan and Nanci! We will be back.
