Richards place offered everything we needed for our vacation, the beach and view was beautiful. I enjoyed my morning coffee looking out at the water and beach. We seen many turtles on this beach which was great. Snorkelling was great too. Richard had snorkels, boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, as well, everything you need in the kitchen including spices. It was going under renovations during our stay as well as the septic system so the sewer smell got bad in the apartment at times and was hard to leave doors open, but with no ac you needed to. However the Reno’s did not bother us at all at the beach or lawn. If your the type of person who wants a 5 star hotel or to get up and go to shops and bars, this isn’t the place for you, however we still toured the island with no problems. I booked this because it was away from the crazy Waikiki area and offered us a peaceful vacation. I found the beach at Richard’s place to be the nicest off all the beaches we visited. Definitely worth it
