Great master bedroom view from this second floor unit. Lydgate beach park 1/4 mile up was one of the kids favorite beaches. Location is great for airport, Costco, Walmart and both North and South island access. The Safeway and Wailua Shave Ice is just 5 min to the north, as is Aloha Roastery for exquisite pastries and a cool coffee vibe.
Unit had several nice touches like a Samsung TV with all the apps - Netflix, Disney+, HBOMax, etc. It also had helpful touches like dishwasher detergent, beach chairs / umbrella, and coffee filters. Nice pool and BBQ grills.
Island's east side was more humid and windy than we realized, but June temps averaged 75 and with near constant breeze and ceiling fans it was a pleasant and authentic Hawaii experience. Thanks Jamie!
A few more tips: Smith's Family Luau and Fern Grotto Tour are both great and are just up the road (book luau early). Another favorite beach was Kalapaki, once you figure out which tiny street to go down that leads to the public parking. Boba food truck across the street from Kalapaki was a hit with the family.
