Very close to beach, right on public walkway to get to the beach. Quiet and very clean. On-site hostess was very friendly and helpful on check in and checkout, she otherwise left us alone.
The house itself is falling apart. The plywood of the kitchen is crumbling and the baseboard fell completely off when we were there. The carpet is a little old, although appears to be very clean. The bedding and towels are very clean and new, and so is the shower/bathroom. Beachfront Hawaii is notoriously challenging for houses- they weather very quickly and this house has not been spared.
We would stay there again, however, because the location/hospitality/value can't be beat.
Although our three kids did fine (4, 3 and 7 months), I would not stay there with a crawler or overly active kid who looks for trouble. The railing can be climbed on, the stairs could be slippery and the construction is generally worn down. Not good for those kids who like poking and pulling at things. For other kids, the walk to the beach was super short, there were sand toys and blankets and beach towels. Super easy to go back and forth to the beach all day. Outdoor shower and washer/dryer for your use. No a/c but ceiling fans in every room made it bearable. I highly recommend this place for a family who wants to spend most of their time at the beach and has kids who aren't too mischievous.
