My wife and I spent 5 nights at Tom's place for our 15th wedding anniversary. The beach was amazing! It is very private with great snorkeling, and we even had sea turtles swimming right out in front of the place. Everything that you need for a great beach vacation is at your disposal, from boogie boards to use at the beach, to beach chairs, and a nice size cooler that holds food and drink so you are not running back to the room all the time (but is still easy to haul around). We also used the cooler to bring sandwiches with during our day trips into town, so that we could save a little on food costs at some of the attractions (Pearl Harbor being one of them).
I would definitely recommend getting a rental car for your time on the island, as it makes getting around much easier! The location is about 40 minutes to an hour from downtown Honolulu (traffic depending), but that is also what makes it such a nice place to relax! There was no traffic noise and not a ton of people creating hustle and bustle right out the front door.
We would definitely consider staying at Tom's place again in the future.
