This is a nice location - it's not too far to drive to Honolulu to see things such as Pearl Harbor, waikiki beach, large shopping district. However it was nice to be just far enough away that we could do some fun things with out all the traffic, we were with-in walking distance to a beach, park, hiking. Also a nice variety of restaurants, Whole Foods, etc..just a couple miles away. The outdoor kitchen provided us the ability to eat some breakfast in the morning with a small fridge, microwave, dishes, hot plate, toaster, etc.. A couple of nights we brought back take out after a day of activities. The owner was very helpful when we had some questions about things to do, she also had some nice extra touches such as small cooler to take to the beach, beach chairs, towels, sunscreen. Very pleasant to work with! There is not a stove/oven, however it was an issue for us since I didn't want to do extensive cooking on vacation.
