The views are amazing. We watched sea turtles swim through the cove each morning and evening from the lanai. The water was warm and a great place for families to enjoy the ocean as the tide is fairly gentle. It is a bit of a drive from the city so if you have a lot of activities planned in or near Honolulu expect 45 minutes to an hour each way depending on the time of day. We had a great time just hanging out at the private beach and relaxing. The space was well stocked with sand toys, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. The neighborhood is not the Ritz, but the unit is in a gated facility and we felt safe... just something to keep in mind. Overall, we would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your place with us.
