As soon as you open the unit door. The view just hit you right away. Wow factor! And evelina accommodated us an hour earlier from our exhausting trip that made us relax for a few before we hit the beach which is just a block away. What a wonderful way to end the day especially with the beach supplies provided by them. I couldn't ask more for a better Hawaii experience for a first time like me. For the price and space compared to others...highly recommended.
