Thomas's place is super convenient (one block either way) to 2 beaches: Cove Beach (surfing) and Charlie Young/Kamaole (sunning and walking), and a bonus little hidden cove next to Cove Beach. You need to hit Cove Beach on dawn patrol if you don't want to share it with 100 of your closest friends ;-)
The place is walking distance to some nice eateries, and also has a well-appointed kitchen if you want to walk to Foodland and pick up provisions to cook at home.
Highly recommend this place and I would definitely stay there on my next visit.
Mahalo, Thomas!
