The apartment is the upper level of a private house in a very quiet residential neighborhood. The apartment is in pristine condition and extremely well stocked for example, not only new kitchen utensils and appliances but also all the small things (zip locks , cold packs etc). Everything you need for a day on the beach (boogie boards, chairs, parasol etc) or for a game/movie night. We had a feeling that if we are not finding something it is because we have not looked. All of our needs were anticipated and fulfilled.
The apartment is very spacious with vaulted ceilings and an open feeling, the view to the ocean is wonderful specially in the sunset . The lanai is surrounded by a fine mosquito net so that you could leave everything open and not worry about Dengue. The house has three bedrooms: the master suite is huge and has a direct access to the lanai, the two other bedrooms are comfortable and share a bathroom with a tub.
The host is very responsive, welcoming and was immediately available when we had a minor issue and solved it immediately.

potentially two drawbacks:
1. there is no air-conditioning, but to be honest you do not need it in the Hawaii weather, plenty of fans were available in every room.
2. Car - beach or shopping are within a short drive away (about 5 min) but walking to them would probably not be very much fun. For us this was not a problem because we planned on hiking in different parts of the island (recommended!), the access to the highway is very easy and short so if you plan to travel around, it is perfect. However if you plan to spend the whole vacation on the beach you should probably look for a closer option.

To summarize beautiful house in excellent condition and a wonderful host, we recommend very highly.
