Location, location, location! If you had to be stuck on the lanai all day it would not disappoint because the view was spectacular. The place was simple but comfortable. If you want to experience old Hawaii away from the bustle of the high rise concrete hotels than this is the place for you. The washer/dryer and grills/picnic tables were communal which was something we did not expect until after the fact. It was not a problem though because all the common areas were immaculate and beautifully kept. It was also a nice way to meet your neighbors. Elaine was a responsive host and we would definitely recommend staying here.
