We booked this unit for the ocean front location. Its not easy to find a unit with the bedroom also ocean front with a lanai. Star gazing at midnight ....... absolute zen. This unit, townhouse style, was perfect. It is all about the water for us and being steps from launching my SUP into the ocean for a sunset paddle, or enjoying the dolphins cruising by during morning coffee, it was priceless.
Are the interior and furnishings older, yes. But that isn't why we booked it. The bed was really comfortable, the toy closet had a huge selection of beach things, the towels were soft, washer/dryer newer and efficient, the lanais were positioned perfectly for just sitting and chilling, and if needed we had high speed internet.
The kitchen was well stocked, but bring ziplocks if you bring/buy crackers, cereal, or pancake mix and do not want to put it in the fridge. Ants are always an issue in Hawaii.
We had a fantastic time, go to Kua Beach for close fun waves, and go see the turtles at Kiholo Beach. Alula Beach by the harbor is a great place if you have littles.
Jackie Reys, Ultimate Burger, Ola Brewery, Pactricios Tacquiera, and Habenaro's. And if you are venturing out the Fish and Hog in Waimea is GREAT! go for lunch because they sell out of some BBQ meats by dinner.
