Access to the beach is not direct, but quite a walk a long side a nearby resort. The "beach" is not a beach, but really dangerous and rocky. The view is nice, especially at sunrise. The pool was fun. Parking was odd: Directions said "park in any unreserved space." Problem is all the spaces are reserved, which means parking is on a public road. The tax situation is odd: We stayed in an Airbnb in Honolulu and it was not an issue, but at Michael's place we were asked to leave $210 in cash on the kitchen counter for tax. Why the difference? On the plus side there is a Safeway across the street! Bottom line: We enjoyed our time there and would recommend Michael's place to future travelers.
