My young adult kids and I had a wonderful visit here. We loved having the beach so close, a brief walk past our host's house, and a pool right outside our door. The beach was amazing. Very few people on the beach with us. We felt like it was our private beach. (Also, we had sea turtles swimming with us a few times.) We made a couple of visits to Waikiki and were amazed by the crowds, shoulder-to-shoulder, on the beaches. Not here. Gloria and her son were wonderful hosts and helped us discover local places to visit. For those looking for a more down-to-earth, non-resort-like experience. This is for you. The only negative was the occasional traffic noise from the road behind the house but this was rare and you never hear it on the beach.
