Our family loved the location with quick and easy access to the beach/coast. The kids could safely play in the clean grassy area right off the lanai within eyesight from the kitchen and living areas (no need to walk down stairs or pack large bags to let the kids have an outdoor experience). This view/area seems to be “the place to be” as other neighbors would bring their chairs out here to watch the sunset daily. Our absolute favorite was the whale watching from shore! It was better than expected to enjoy a daily show from the kohola mamas, babies and escorts in January (prime whale watching season). We opted to rent paddle boards for the week and found it SUPER easy to be out on the water within minutes whenever we felt the desire to paddle amongst the whales! Great location, great layout, tastefully remodeled - we enjoyed our stay and you will, too!
