My husband and I were visiting son, DIL, & grandson who live approx 15 min drive inland. Perfect location - short drive from/to LIH, short walk to markets, dining, etc. in the immediate area, short drive to many more options. Not smack on the beach, but a very short walk to a path/trail along the water to explore in either direction after morning coffee or before bed. Great home base for launching day trips along the coasts and inland. If you are looking for a private secluded oceanfront hideaway, this isn't it - but it was just perfect for us. Lene's unit is well-appointed with all the basics and absolutely spotless, with thoughtful touches like a welcome basket of mostly organic snacks and all the beach gear you might need (assuming the weather cooperates!). Quiet and peaceful despite proximity to the main highway (not visible from the unit). Easy to get to many other beautiful/spectacular locations, and just a really nice vibe all up. Mahalo Lene - highly recommend!
