We loved this place! The beach was beautiful and the area had a genuine Hawaii vibe. We got some fantastic beach pics here, and even a rainbow over the water one early morning. The beach was not crowded and almost empty in the early morning. The downstairs unit meant we could stroll in and out as if in a cottage close to the shore. The beach was an easy walk through gardens and grass. The furnishings were nice too. The louvered windows and shutters made it easy to get that indoor-outdoor melding that makes Hawaii so special. The hotel next door has an outdoor beachside restaurant. Also walkable is a small shopping area with other restaurants, a Starbucks, and shops that supply tourist basics. Grills are plentiful and cleaned daily. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
