We loved our stay at Derek and Heidi's. Wavecrest is a great community with fantastic grounds, an ocean view one way with Maui and Lanai in the distance, and epic mountain views the other. We stayed here over Christmas and there were community events, decorations, and we even went caroling with a group of full time residents. We had plenty of privacy and felt very comfortable on this unique island. My favorite spot was Halawa Valley, including the drive to and from, and I highly recommend anyone respectfully visiting this amazing place. For beaches hit the west side and at least get a view of the northern sea cliffs above Kalaupapa.
