Shari's place is exactly as advertised: super close to the beach and incredibly functional for a typical Hawaiian vacation without being in the center of things on Oahu, but still close to everything. Little things that have been previously mentioned (like the fact Shari's place is close to a road that has decent traffic during the day, but is quiet at night and the driveway being slightly hazardous if backing out (pro-tip: back-in to park instead!)) are true, but these are minor and don't detract from everything else. If you're looking to explore Oahu and have easy access to a great beach, Shari's place is highly recommended.
