I found the condo to be in a nice location. It was a short walk to get down to the beach via very steep stairs and a path that ran alongside the back of a resort hotel that seemed to be under construction. The beach was protected, and it felt safe to swim and snorkel. I even saw a giant sea turtle, and the sunsets were phenomenal! There are restaurants and shops on the main road, and it is a short drive to Hanalei. Everything about the place was fine, and the description was accurate. The only drawback was hearing the neighbors, who were very loud and ran their TV late into the night, screaming in excitement at whatever they were watching. Since we were on vacation, we spent most of our time outside the condo, so we didn't bother asking them to tone it down. The back balcony looked out over an overgrown ravine, and glimpses of the mountains could be seen in the distance. It was too hot to sit on the balcony, but it was a nice view. Parking was super easy too!
