This place is great if you want to be completely isolated from the world and you don't mind a half deserted complex (with some buildings inhabitable or abandoned). The island is great and has amazing beaches although November was definitely not a good time to swim in most of them but great for surfing (as we have seen others doing). There are lots of free roaming turkeys that are harmless and also bat-butterflies that sometimes get into the apartment (harmless as well). I personally liked the moth butterflies but my kids definitely did not. In terms of activities on the island it is best to check in person upon arrival on Kalae Hwy across the street from Coffees of Hawaii (which by the way does not offer anymore tours of the coffee plantation). Not necessarily the best spot for kids. Also the complex where this building is located has two different owners. Across the street there is sort of a time share ownership that is much better maintained. The nicest swimming pool and bbq places as well as tennis courts belong to those owners and we did not necessarily had access to them.
