If you want to get away from the crowds on Oahu, this is a great place to be. The view from the 7th floor is gorgeous and we would often eat out on the lanai. The private beach is wonderful and very quiet - perfect for families or just couples - and is just out the back of the building, complete with a rinsing station. We took the provided snorkel gear and our cheapy underwater camera out at low tide and it was great. Just be careful as you will also be swimming in only a couple of feet of water with fragile coral below you in parts of the bay - it was an awesome experience - but also a bit nerve wracking as we didn't want to do any damage. If you need food, Kaya's is great and it's about a block or two walk up the highway. It's a little country store that claims to have been in the area for years and makes tasty food. It also has a number of tasty food trucks parked at it so you can get a variety of foods. It's less than 10 minutes to Laie, 15 minutes to Kualoa Ranch, and 30 minutes to much of the North Shore - it was a great location for stuff on the east and north side of the island.
I suppose there are two drawbacks, but they're already mentioned in the listing so we knew about them going in. There is construction but we didn't have any issues with it. They only worked during the day and you can't hear it from the beach so they didn't affect us at all. The other one is not really a downside so much as we knowingly picked something that's not ideal for us but made it work because so much of the rest of this location was so good. We're from the over-air-conditioned land of Texas and are cool sleepers so my wife and I slept on the two fold out couches in the living room while our son slept in the bedroom. The couches sleep like couches but we were cool and we woke to the gorgeous view. Meanwhile our son slept on the comfy bed in the small bedroom and didn't care that it was warm. FYI: We kept the windows open and AC off during the day and it was pleasant, we just turned on the AC at night for sleeping. Again, the listing is very clear about these things - just wanted to give our two cents about them as I know they were the two things that gave us pause about the listing initially but really didn't affect our stay.
The small negatives were well known and far outweighed by the positives. The hosts communicated well, it had everything we needed and was clean, and it was a really nice escape for our last couple days in Hawaii. We would definitely come back!
