Welcoming and beautifully appointed for a Hawaiian vacation! Handy extras (beach towels, beach chairs). And no need to go to beach bars for sunsets with the view from this deck. Gorgeous.

The space was great for the two of us. We made some good meals with the hot plate and electric fry pan! The BBQ'S BY THE POOL was well maintained. The bed was very comfortable. Shower was good. If you open the front door and slider, you can get a nice breeze. Nice for some quiet from the air conditioner The pool was very nice! Great way to relax and cool off in the afternoon.The space is located in the middle of town on the main strip. You can walk just about anywhere.The view from the lanai is somewhat obstructed.It was still beautiful. And the sunsets were amazing!!

This location is super-you can see and hear the ocean and just steps away from shopping and restaurants. Tiny cute studio suite. Appreciated all the little extras-fruit, water, ice, beach towels, etc.

The unit was extremely clean. They had the AC set to cold which was so needed and appreciated. There was a very nice welcome card with water and chocolate in the fridge for us. We love this location so much, right down the street from shops and restaurants. We watched sunset from the lanai. They had beach towels, chairs, snorkel gear, really everything we could of needed to make our trip comfortable. They have a smart TV so we got to turn on our own Netflix on our down time. I can't wait to book again next year!
