The description and other reviews are spot on! This place is in the middle of it all! Within walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants! It allowed our young adult children freedom to do some things on their own...beach, lunch, shopping etc. We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, the ice maker and coffee provided by Ryan! The views from the balcony, breathtaking! We had a rental car for a few days and really didn’t even need it! We took some of Ryan’s suggestions in his host guide book; we had a great time taking surf lessons at Moku Hawaii! We also, took a tour of Pearl Harbor, Grand Circle Oahu tour and Chief’s Luau....found great deals on Groupon! My only advice for your trip, schedule Luau’s, tours, activities, even some restaurant reservations several weeks/months in advance!
