This place was better than I thought it would be. Overall the location was great for us, we had a rental car, so we were not tied down. The pool is not amazing and cold, the ocean is much warmer. The beach access is to the right of the pool and down the stairs. The beach is swim able, but there is a wall, so no place to lounge around in the sand. Kanapali beach is a quick drive and the unit has beach chairs, boogie boards and cooler as well as beach towels. The unit comes with a washer and dryer so pack light, also in the master bedroom the closet is locked, so no hanging space for dresses and such. Lots of drawers though. The unit is on the 3rd floor, so keep in mind if traveling with lots of luggage or small kids. In November there was no need for AC, keep in mind this place does not have it. The view from the balcony is absolutely gorgeous and it was a perfect place to have breakfast every morning. We saw a rainbow every morning and turtles from the balcony. We cooked all of our breakfasts, the kitchen had everything we needed. The supermarket is half a mile away. There were smaller stores walking distance, but we usually drove to the market. Highly recommended Badass coffee just down the street, you can purchase ground coffee there and make it in the coffee maker in the unit. Hopefully this review helps.
