This was our first family vacation to Hawaii! It is conveniently located walking distance from ABC shop, Starbucks, restaurants and beach... also had great air conditioning, fully stocked kitchen, beach gear and wagon to load. It is very noisy at night... since it is in the middle of the night life. We are not light sleepers but if you are it may be an issue. We had an infant with us so it was nice to have the portable crib set up and ready for us upon arrival. Older kids had to do homework and they had a desk and extra table - great internet for work and online school. Balcony was scary for little ones but husband and I enjoyed it at night when they slept.
