Very convenient for the area, good home base to see most of the north side. Lots of good food options, lots to see, plenty of beautiful scenery, great just to drive along the Kamehameha Highway and take in the sights. Quick drive to many North Shore sights, including Waimea Valley, Polynesian Cultural Center, plenty of beautiful beaches. And not too far of a drive to get to the bigger city in Honolulu. Only minor criticisms I have: The rooms are pretty small, I think it was a queen, but we are pretty tall so we were a bit scrunched. Also, as the details mention, they have four kids, so please be aware they are going to be doing things kids do, talking, playing, etc, until 8/9PM. I think with them on summer break, bedtime is a bit later in the day than normal, so they were happy to have a little more flexibility on sleeping hours. That said, you could easily spend late into the night doing plenty of things, and may never know anybody lives their if you are packing your waking hours!
