Exactly as advertised. Right on the beach, by public parks. Good view from front porch. Tropical greenery. Lots of locals using the beach on the weekend, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, if you like being where the action is. The only real complaint we had was a tropical bird calling during repeatedly as my wife was trying to go to sleep. Not the owners' fault, of course, and many people might enjoy falling to sleep by the sound of a Hawaiian bird call. I had no problem. But, if you are a light sleeper like my wife is, you probably should look elsewhere.
