Location, Location, Location, for the best price! This sums up why we were originally drawn to this place. The hosts were wonderful and thoughtful. The vacation rental was well stocked and came with some fresh fruit to welcome us. Typically we ate breakfast and a late dinner at the vacation rental. For the five adults (two married couples and older daughter) the layout and accommodations were perfect for us. The location has a peek a boo look at the ocean and is only a 5 minute walk to a beautiful and almost empty beach. The morning and evening swimming were the best. Extremely close to the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) which has the best entertainment on the island. Across the street from BYU Hawaii and the LDS Visitors Center and Temple. Very close to the Kualoa Ranch and the North Shore. Kualoa Ranch has incredible beauty and history with a lot to do. Wonderful snorkeling and beautiful fish at Sharks Cove about 15 minutes away. First time I have got to swim with a school of fish. Wiamea Valley is drop dead gorgeous and the fresh water swim under the water falls is hard to beat after a hike. Sunset at Sunset Beach is like a postcard. The shrimp trucks and BBQ corn a few minutes down the road were all exceptional meals. I could go on and on. Great find was the Oahu Go Card from Costco for 4 days at $169. Makes all the attractions on the list about 1/2 price if fully used. This location is much more laid back and enjoyable than the busy Honolulu area we have stayed before. We highly recommend the location, the hosts and the accommodations. We have been on many vacations and cruises. This vacation for the pure joy and relaxation is at the top list.
