My wife and I were very satisfied with unit 243 and the location. Across the street was the Humpback Whale Research Center and their lecture on whales was both informative and interesting (Thanks, Robin!). Back to the unit - we had everything we needed including beach toys (boggie boards, folding chairs, noodles), the kitchen was well-equipped and the bed very comfortable. The decorations inside are cute and "island" style. We were situated close to the Canoe Club which was just over a mile to our right as we drove out. A $30 donation gets you a real Hawaiian experience paddling a outrigger for over an hour and learning a few chants as well. To the left as you drive out of Bay Surf is Azeka Shopping center with Longs Drugs, Ace Hardware (you never know!), and Coconut Fish Tacos (or something like that and it is excellent). Further along is Kamaole I, II and III beaches. We like III best as there is a nice parking lot and the waves seem to break better for bodysurfing or boggieboarding. Go in the morning as the afternoon winds often kick up and the surf gets a bit rough.
