The house is spacious and great for a large family. The proximity to the beach is amazing. You can't get any closer than that. The sea was rough but it is expected in this part of the island. I would say that the location was a bit of an issue for us, specially with kids since most Oahu attractions are either in the North Shore or South East of the island and we spent about 1-2 hours each way getting around. Oahu traffic is terrible and it seemed like we were always stuck in some traffic. The area is also more local- which has all its pros. But there are also a lot of homeless and you can easily see them tenting by the beach close to the house. We found that this is an overall issue all around Oahu. There is no AC in the house, which alot of homes in Hawaii dont have anyways but be aware of this if you go during really hot months because that can be an issue. The house has everything you may need and the beach is beautiful but location and less than ideal.
