We loved the eastern aspect for the sunrise and the on beach location. Every time we went to the beach there were turtles. My husband enjoyed snorkelling off this beach. The apartment is well laid out with two seperate powder rooms so it was convenient for a group of 4. The traffic noise may bother people if they are sensitive, but not an issue for me. If you get to sleep near the balcony you will enjoy the sound of the ocean.
The balcony is a standout, with exceptional view and also spacious - arm chairs and dining table for 4.
The apartment was well equipped, really clean and comfortable. Having the extra beach towels was really handy. There were also beach chairs etc.
It's a great apartment, there are food trucks near by and a small supermarket which also provides Hawaiin style meals. We spent most of our time on the North Shore, it is about a 45 minute drive to there.
