From the outside, you drive through a working-class neighborhood to what must be kind of an eyesore high-rise building, almost 50 years old. However, inside the space is well-furnished, with a little bit of deferred maintenance in the kitchen.
What cannot be understated is the quality of the view, which is nothing short of spectacular. The beach is wonderful and we snorkeled daily, seeing lots of fish and sea turtles. The water was warm (we didn’t need wet suits). The sun set directly in front of the lanai every night!
There was great hiking nearby. There isn’t much of a night life or a restaurant scene on the Wai’anae Coast— better go elsewhere if that’s your need — and it’s easy to spend up to 2 hours driving into Honolulu to visit museums, etc. it was perfect for us, since we do list of our own cooking and there are grocery stores nearby.
We’d certainly stay there again on a trip to Oahu!
