Being first timers to Hawaii, we made the mistake of staying in Waikiki before coming here. Not making that mistake again. This place is a real gem. Will spend our entire time here next trip to the islands. The beach, which can be viewed from the lanai, is private enough to feel secluded but busy enough to feel vibrant. A min walk and youre there. There are grocery shops and restaurants mere minutes down the road. You will not regret staying here. 😎
