The pictures do not do this apartment justice. You see the ocean from every window in this home and diamond head feels like its just outside your window. Its really the best location for staying in Hawaii. the complex is really safe and clean and it is only 3 minutes to get to the beach. There were lots of extras that you can take to the beach- so no need to pack anything extra. We loved the bed, so comfortable! We cooked in the apartment for many meals and there was everything you need to have coffee in the morning and make meals. We really can't say enough positive things about this apartment. Its quiet, convenient and has the most incredible views. Thanks for a wonderful stay. We'll be back!
