Great place to stay. Can't beat the views you get, amazing to wake up and see the ocean. This place is away from the city feel, but still within driving distance of a lot of places. The drive from the airport is very scenic, doesn't feel like an hour. Definitely recommend going to the Polynesian Cultural Center which is just a 5 minute drive from here. As far as the beach nearby, it's very quiet but we didn't get to spend too much time there as it was cloudy when we tried to go. The outside shower back at the house has hot water, makes it much easier to wash off the sand than using freezing cold water. Overall great place to stay, could fit a decent size family. We were just 2 but couldn't resist the views this place promised and was able to deliver.
