This place is great with stunning views of Moloka'i, breaching humpback whales (in winter), and even a surf break right out front. There's no beach access directly in front of the place, but there's a beach within walking distance. The A/C was not needed at this time of year (late Dec), but I can see how others would find the A/C unit lacking during hot summer days. We enjoyed using the grill, lanai, boogie boards, cooler, and towels. The shower doesn't get as hot as some might be used to, and there's no shower door so the shower mat has it's work cut out for it. It's a good value for a place right on the water.
