This place was exactly as advertised. Perfect location for great snorkeling. Donato has the place equipped with all the beach gear you could need. Very handy! Plenty of room for 4 people and very nice having a washer/dryer too. The view from the lanai includes ocean view, but it is a bit limited. The best answer is to get out to the beach where the view is completely unhampered!
We were without a car and were able to walk about 10 minutes to the local marketplace for a variety of food as well as grocery shopping. We loved the Tropics Taproom and highly recommend the Calamari! We took the Trolley one day into the downtown Farmer's Market, but the Trolley schedule is very inconsistent and only runs every 2 hours. So that's sort of hit & miss. We recommend taking advantage of the "Share a Bike" program right at Kahalu'u Park (2 minute walk) from which you can then bike all along Alii Drive and park it at the next Share a Bike station. We biked to Magic Beach for one day of beautiful swimming and floating as well as a great sunset meal.
