You can see and hear the beach from the lanai. We found so many incredible beaches nearby. You can walk to one up the street. We had a rental Jeep and drove about 20 minutes to a new one every day. We tried to find more private ones and were successful each day. The poke at Foodland was really good and reasonable. There are good hikes nearby. We had some rain so they were super muddy. There’s a hose to wash the mud off conveniently located around the corner of the bottom unit.We cooked in a majority of our stay and the pots, pans, utensils, knives were very high quality. SAFEWAY, Foodland, Walmart and Costco are all close by. The washer and dryer was really nice. They had beach chairs, beach towels, mats, snorkel stuff.. It was nice to save some money on buying/renting all that stuff. Lava lava beach club had fun drinks and was an easy walk. The only AC is in the bedroom, but they have a fan so you can blow the cooler air into the other living area. I found the temperature to be perfect after a hot, humid day outside. Property manager takes really good care of the grounds. Owner is super responsive and helpful. Loved our stay here.
