The beach access is perfect. The water is sheltered by a reef so you don't get the big waves of the north shore, but it is lovely for snorkeling, swimming, etc. It is the windward side of the island so a bit rainier and windier, but very green and beautiful. The house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was great with a working stove top, oven, microwave, full size fridge/freezer, toaster, rice cooker, blender, etc. There are grills just outside for use. Great vacation home.
