We loved being right across the street from the ocean. There's a small dark sand beach right there, though at high tide you can't walk too far. Still, it's great for a quick jaunt to see the gorgeous sunset. The driveway can be hard to see, but after finding it the first time, you're all set. Loved the outdoor shower. Good facilities. One of the few places with A/C, though we didn't need it being there in Feb and with nice ocean breezes. Traffic noise could be an issue for some, as it's a busy road, but it quiets down at night. I had to close my windows because I'm a very light sleeper. Location overall was convenient to Waimea for restaurants (Shrimp Station sweet chile garlic shrimp - yum!), lovely beaches via a quick drive, Poipu, really great for all south and west shore activities. Small boat harbor is a 2 min drive - great place to catch a Na Pali coast boat tour - since that harbor is further west than Port Allen, they can show you the whole coast even with winter waves.
