This property is in a great location if you want to be central on the north shore. That said, the beach is *not* safe for swimming without water shoes. My husband found three handfuls of glass shards while snorkeling. So please be careful if you choose to go. If you want to go to a beautiful beach, go to the one just on the opposite side of the peninsula. The cleanliness is night and day. Also, the view from the back yard is a little depressing, as there seems to have been a recent fire that burned the two houses directly behind the Ohana. So it’s hard to enjoy the ocean view when you’re looking over a few burned, vacant homes. I just thought those two things were important to mention, because those were the two things I was the most excited about, and in turn disappointed me the most. But like I said, the location is great, and the air conditioning is ice cold. Unfortunately there are just a few things outside of anyone’s control that I thought I should mention to bring awareness if you’re planning a visit!
