This is a great place to stay. I loved having the beach right outside my window and the boardwalk to run along in the morning. I loved having the windows open and feeling the breeze from the beach it was glorious. the location is great, close to many restaurants and shopping there was a bit of traffic which wasn't as great,as there was some construction on the main road. the apartment had beach toys and beach chairs and coolers, and a collection of sunscreen under the sink. It was really nice to be able to do laundry in the apartment. We cooked most of our meals to save money as the food is really expensive in Hawaii.
