This is a great house in a great location. It is a bit of a drive to many of the tourist attractions on Oahu, but staying right on the beach was worth it. Manny had great recommendations for local restaurants and things to do. The beach gear (chairs, umbrella's, sand toys, body boards, and snorkel gear) that were available for use were very appreciated. During our stay the waves at the beach right at the house were a little bit bigger than we were comfortable with for our kids (probably due to time of year) so we did not do much swimming right at the house, but exploring the tide pools right at the house was fun and there is a very nice protected beach (Pokai Beach) just a couple miles down the road that had great swimming. One day we took a snorkel tour with the Ko Olina Marina (about 25-30 minutes away) that was fantastic and I highly recommend that for anyone staying here. I also highly recommend visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center, but that was definitely the longest drive at about 1.5 hours away.
