Good mattress! We slept well. The dedicated parking space is very helpful. You’re right on the water with (small) breakers, so expect a strong surf soundtrack and some nice sunsets (the windows face West). We liked both these features. The apartment complex itself is amusing, and we did make use of both the pool and laundry (the latter requires quarters or an app). The beach next door is fine, but can be crowded; while it’s very convenient, there are better options if you’re willing to research and drive a bit. The people at the restaurant are lovely, and the food seems to vary from pleasant to quite good. Not cheap, but convenient.
No major complaints about the rental. We were a bit flummoxed by the cable/streaming setup. Really, the main drawback to this location—and it’s a common problem throughout Hawaii—is that there’s virtually nowhere to walk from the apartment, so you can feel a little “trapped” at night. One day the groundskeepers showed up and they over-rely on gas-powered leaf blowers, which are amazingly loud and obnoxious—that went on for a good hour. That’s not every day.
