Overall a good stay and good hosts! They were very clear that there was construction, and it really wasn't that big of a deal, except for one aspect that was unfortunate and unforeseen. Hosts did what they could to take care of it, but it was mostly out of their hands. Other than that, it's a good taste of Hawaiian living. Can't beat being right on the beach! Great location for access to so many North Shore and Winward side activities! Take a walk on the beach at night and you just might see honu! (sea turtles) One night we saw 14!! Just give them their space and don't shine white flashlights (phones or camera flashes). It stresses and confuses them. As another guest mentioned, you do have to go out the front door and around the building to get to the beach because of the location of the apartment right behind the pool, but again, small kine! Still can't beat hearing the waves at night from inside the apartment!
