Great place, centrally located, for everything you want to see on the NE side of the island. Polynesian Cultural Center, Waimea Valley Botanical Garden, North Shore shops and restaurants, snorkeling galore (try Shark’s Cove!), and many other attractions. This is the opposite of the Waikiki experience and a chance to get away from the crowds. We did both and were very happy that the bulk of our time was spent here. This unit has a lovely view of the ocean, lanai to enjoy it from, and all the amenities you’ll need for an independent stay. Preparing meals in a bit helps cut costs—Foodland and Tamura’s have a decent selection. See what’s in the unit kitchen first before shopping for supplies as many items are already there and provided for you. Loungers, boogie boards, beach gear, etc., are provided at the unit and complex and there is ample bedding as well. If you’re a light sleeper, ear plugs are a good idea, as the complex is nestled between the ocean and the two-lane highway. It slows at night but can still be heard, along with normal complex noise and others coming and going. A wonderful place to stay with great accessibility and breathtaking views for the NE side of O’ahu. We even spotted several whales just past the breakers our final day there!
