Had a great time it rained a little bit, but the kids use the pool and the hot tub. Hot tub cover wasn’t on, but I found it over the other side of the wall. Had lots of towels and plenty of beach towels. Only thing we didn’t have was washcloths. The house was very clean and well stocked.

As we were a party of seven, there was plenty of room for us to spread out and enjoy! We had a door lock issue while we were there and the Makana team took care of it promptly and courteously. The house was beautiful and spacious. Also left a small item after departing and Makana offered to mail the item to me. Great customer care :)

The downstairs was open and made it easy to all gather together. The upstairs was great for our kiddos and us. The master bathroom was amazing with a HUGE shower. It was clean and well maintained. Having the beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards was so convenient. We all highly recommend and loved the location being so close to Hanalei Bay! Can’t wait to come back and stay here again!
