It is so nice to have a view of the water even though there are trees and houses in your view. Can see the sunset. The place is clean and simple with a comfortable bed. Nice bathroom and large lanai with loads of furniture. The place had lots of goodies to greet us (wine, Maui chips, chocolates, pineapple, and coffee), two sets of snorkels/fins, lawn chairs for the beach, and a wonderful thermos backpack. We loved the place and location (I have relatives that have a timeshare at Lawai Beach Resort nearby). BUT the places in this area are very expensive and the prices just keep going up so that makes a long visit expensive. Beaches are close for either boogie boarding or wading and snorkeling (saw 3 green turtles on the beach and one Monk Seal all on one afternoon visit).
