The place was absolutely lovely with the views and sounds of the ocean. It was easy access to major roads which also meant close to highway noise, but due to being an end unit with a nice wall street side and because the ocean was so "loud" being near a busy street did not matter. I am sure traffic also depends on the time of year you go to Hawaii. We were there in "high season" it is busier on the island. The place itself was well appointed and while not super large, we had everything we needed for a couple to enjoy their stay here. The views on the lanai are just so wonderful. Enas, the owner was incredibly responsive to our questions or needs. The beach is not busy at all and with all the chairs and water stuff provided one could easily just walk down two minutes to the beach or hang out on the rock area there and enjoy the water, watching surfers, saw some turtles hanging around and people did snorkeling too. This is a gem and we would highly recommend!
