We spent 5 nights at this house. The significant pluses include: 1) the location - you are right on the beach! You can see the ocean from your bed. The large deck is the perfect spot to watch the surfers, the occasional turtle that comes onto the beach, and the people/dogs on the beach. The house is also within walking distance to the local grocery store as well as other attraction spots; 2) the outdoor shower - something you have to try to get just how good it feels. Some things you may also want to consider include: 1) the house is airy and right on the beach, there are insects (ants, roaches) in the house. If you don't leave food and open drinks out, ants problem can be minimized. Roaches mostly come out at night, which can be a bit annoying, but may come with the airy-house territory. We were not too bothered by this. The mosquitos also tend to come out during the early evening hours to feast. If you are sensitive to mosquito bites, bring repellent. 2) although it is impressive to watch the waves during the day, it can get pretty loud at night. Husband slept with pillows covering his ears while I used earplugs. This is something we did not expect. I can't imagine how loud it gets in the winter when the waves are much stronger. There is an interior room - the only bedroom with a door but if you close the door to dampen the noise, it gets very stuffy in the room. 3) the 2 bikes that come with the house are fairly rusty, one seat has exposed foam material. They look like they have not been used in a long time. We were hoping to ride them on the trail right outside the house, but decided not to risk it. However, you can rent bikes from a local shop nearby.
Overall, we were happy with our stay and with our great first visit to Oahu.
