The location is really nice and the sunsets, while sitting on the lanai, are gorgeous. The kitchen has an updated counter-top, stove and microwave. There is a nice island for food preparation and a nicely working fridge and dishwasher. Utensils, dishes, blender (for pina coladas :) ) and cleaning soap are all provided. There were lots of towels and several thoughtful things such as beach umbrellas, some tennis balls, 2 tennis raquets and 2 snorkel sets too. Shampoo was provided but no soap, so make sure to bring some. If you are not familiar with Hawaii, you should know that while the water is steps away from the lanai, it is not like a Florida or California beach where you just step into it across some sand. Rather, there are lava rocks that are high above the water and you get to hear the sound of the water crashing against the rocks. You may even see some crabs moving around further down the rocks. The lanai was nice was comfortable cushions to sit on and enjoy the sunset One of the bathrooms has been re-done with a very nice shower but has some leaking water from the handle but nothing that was that big of a deal. The other bathroom did have a significant amount of rust damage to the tub near the faucet and one of the handles was not actually attached but again, we didn't really mind. The unit has a very updated washer and dryer that work well and they provide laundry soap so you don't have to pack as much and can do laundry there. The one thing I wish we knew was that August is very humid and hot and this year's was more so. Although there are several fans, there isn't any AC (as stated in the description) and the place did not cool down until about 12:30am until about 9am. My understanding is that if you're coming during any of the other months, it is much cooler so take that into consideration if you are not used to tropical heat. Also, make sure you have bug repellent because the mosquitos made a meal out of quite a few of us when we went outside. Overall, a decent place for a great price with beautiful sunsets and the sound of crashing waves that provided me and my family with wonderful memories of our first time in Hawaii. Its also very close to so many snorkeling places and activities including an upscale shopping center just 10 minutes away featuring several fun bars and even volleyball competitions. Mahalo!
