Absolutely great location if you wish to get away from the busy Honolulu downtown area.
Accommodations are as described and enjoyed falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean.
We were fortunate to see whales every day from the balcony, sea turtles twice and even two Hawaiian Monk Seals.
The drive is about 20 - 30 minutes to the North Shore. Also very helpful to have a grocery store at the entrance of the road.
Would certainly stay again!!
