This unit is perfect for a small family with younger kids. The beach outside is calmed by a reef a bit offshore so the waves are playable. We really enjoyed the view, the deck and the convenient location away from crowds but still a quick trip to Polynesian Cultural Center and north shore. Plenty of good food nearby. If you are a light sleeper, the road outside might be bothersome to you. This is no fault of the owner though and is the trade off for quick access. Loved all the easy parking.
