The house was wonderful. The problem was lack of communication from the property manager. Our second rental of the home and primary reason for our return is the access to beach. To our surprise, on 2nd day of our week stay, armed policemen threatened to arrest our family due to the beach was closed. We were not aware beach was closed due to storm cleanup (downed trees). Management company did not inform us the beach would be closed the week of our stay and sounds like it will be closed for couple more weeks. Contacted management company of this issue and still have not heard a response from them,

Thank you for returning to this home for a second stay. Repeat visits mean so much to us, and it's wonderful to hear the house continues to feel like home for your family. We know the beach is a big part of what brings you back, and we wish we had shared an update on its conditions before you arrived. Your feedback is helping us keep future guests better informed. We're glad Eilis on our local team could support you while you were on island. Our remote team is now reaching out to you directly to make things right. We truly value your loyalty and would love to welcome your family back with Gather for many more weeks by the shore.

This home, the property, the adjacent snorkeling cove made for a memorable and outstanding experience for our family reunion. So well stocked, comfortable beds, great outdoor showers, beach equipment. It would be tempting to never leave the area - but the wonderful Hawaii island needs to be explored.

I want so badly to give this place a 5 star rating due to the fact that all amenities were amazing! The house is furnished beyond any VRBO i have ever stayed at and everything is so comfortable but I just can't as we struggled with several issues. First the instructions upon arrival failed to allow us in, we struggled to find any keys in the dark and could not get the property manager on the phone for an hour to help us. None of the information sent from VRBO matched the actual instructions like Wi-Fi passwords or where keys were to be found and once we were provided access the book inside with all the information did not match anything we had been sent in welcoming texts either. My biggest issues were with the outdoor lighting all over the yard and not being able to find a way to turn them off overnight. As there are no curtains in any of the rooms there is no way to have privacy at night or block lights from shining in your eyes. Therefore very little sleep over the course of our stay and an inability to have any privacy once the sun went down. I love this place, have dreamed of being able to stay here when i got married for years...I thought it would be a fabulous time, but it failed in ways I could never have imagined. This makes me sad as it is a beautiful place to stay with an amazing amount of things that are fabulous about it...just wasn't restful or easy for me at all.

This house is incredible in so many ways, the pictures (even though they are beautiful) do not do it justice. It is beautifully appointed, clean and steps from the beach. There is everything you need there and more. The surrounding area is generally quiet, it is important to note the beach is not private so it can get a little busy and loud during the day. But it doesn’t matter because the water is pristine, the snorkeling is fantastic and the house is so comfortable to return to and relax in. There was even cornhole and other games provided as well as ample bath products. We did not want to leave!! Check in was straightforward and instructions were clear. This was a much needed family vacation and we enjoyed every minute of it.
