I chose this place because of its central location and price. What I didn’t realize is that the balcony is about 20 yds from Kuhio highway, the main drag. There’s a tall hedge so you can not see the highway, but it’s so noisy you don’t want sit outdoors. The hedge also hides most of the Mountain View. The property is on the beach side of the highway, so you can just walk there, crossing a large vacant lot surrounded by crumbling plywood barriers. There are about 5 homeless tents in the trees along the beach, which is rocky and not swimmable.
Inside, the condo was well equipped and comfortable. The Coconut Marketplace next door provides convenience foods and shopping. The central location was great as we could get to Hanalei or Poipu in about 40 min. For most activities. We rented bikes from Boss Frog, just 0.5 mi up the road and had a pleasant ride on the bike path to the north, which follows the coast and provides beach access.
