The house was very nice. The AC didn't work as well as it should have, but Glen says it is being fixed this week. Also, the photos in the listing are outdated. And the road up to the house is very steep and it is challenging to maneuver the van around the circle drive. We managed to make it each day without incident. We learned to go up past the house, turn around and approach the driveway from above. That worked much better. Also, all of us were senior citizens and had difficulty going up the 20 or so steps in the front. We learned to walk up the steep drive to the back door and then only had four steps to ascend. That was much better.
We were surprised to see another VRBO rental by the Robinson's so close to us (the rear house). The renters took a smoking break in the patio between houses almost every night and the smoke wafted into the back bedroom. Also, they were a little loud on the patio and those in the back bedroom could hear the conversation clearly.
The beds were very comfortable. We slept 7 without problems. The views were very good to the southwest and the northwest. We had rain and clouds most days, but we were able to see the sunset once. We were there for the record-setting rainfall that fell on Honolulu. No problems at the house, though.
The fireworks on Friday night were so far away and down low that they were not impressive. Glen was quick to address the problems we had (plugged toilet).
All in all, we had a great time. We really enjoyed the large, well-stocked kitchen and the oversized diningroom table. WIth all the rain, we only used the hot tub once, but it was nice.
