The house has real ocean view! All bedrooms have windows towards the ocean. You wake up to the beautiful sun shine over the sea. The place is inside a vacation community so the surrounding was very quiet. During the nights, the surrounding area was mostly dark with very little light so you can see stars clearly on the little deck.
If you need shopping, there is a small shopping mall at Princeville Center about 5 minutes drive away. You can also drive for about 15 minutes to Hanalei which has some great food and shopping.
