Great place to stay! Best to know the lay of the land at the Mauna Lani property. (this was not at our first time). Beach/ocean is a solid 15-20 min walk (can also drive) but the homeowner's beach is solid and there are plenty of other great beaches within 15-20 minute drive. Sunset at either of the hotels is wonderful and they are generous about guests on their property. House is well appointed with many beach accessories and kid/baby friendly (pack'n'play, high chair). Hosts were responsive as well.
