Great area so long as you don't mind driving a bit to get to Honolulu! The condo is located inside of Makaha valley so you can hike or swim at your leisure.

We were also given a manual which was very detailed and made everything super simple. Also, the host was kind enough to let us use the beach equipment such as chairs, umbrellas, body boards, and snorkeling gear. Trust me this makes a massive difference at the beach! One tip for arrival is that they rotate the guard out each day and each has different experience levels so just be patient with them and bring all your documents. Also make sure that you get a permanent pass from the office if you are staying more than one night.

The apartment itself is lovely, spacious (there were two of us) and you can't beat the views. The only downside was that there was no AC but plenty of fans in the house to help cool it off.
