Barry's place is a great location for exploring the Island. There are several great restaurants in Kapaa, and longer walking, biking or running paths. These are all within 5-10 minutes. Directly outside the condo is also a shorter walking path. The surf was rough when we were there and you couldn't swim right in front of the condo, but if you walked down 5 minutes to Lyndgate Park by the life guard station there is safer areas to swim. The waves were breaking farther out and swimming close to shore was perfect with rolling waves. Always check with lifeguard first. The view from the deck is beautiful and lovely place to eat breakfast. Barry's place was clean and had everything you need to enjoy your stay. We had nice breezes during our stay so having no AC was not an issue. There are ceiling fans in living room and bedroom that help as well. It is easy to get to both the South, North or West shores from this location. We would certainly stay here again. Aloha!
