Unit is all that is described. Large, with a fabulous lanai. Feels very secure with your own locked gate to get to your unit. Faces west, has to have some of the best sunsets on the island.
Largest disappointment is that the town is VERY local. No upscale or even regular restaurants within 30 min. We bar-b-qued most nights.
Don't recommend the beach for children. Sand is very soft, hard to walk on, no shells, and has a steep drop to the water. Waves were strong and we saw more than one person get tossed around. On the other hand, the strong waves make for great sound. Saw turtles everyday, even dolphins. Surfers in the next cove. Recommend you take binoculars.
Lots of homeless living in tents along the drive to the unit. Kind of unnerving but nothing too close to Makaha.
The real estate company you deal with is definitely on island time. Expect to have to keep on top of them to get correct invoices and final papers.
Best location for those who want to just sit on the lanai and relax or are willing to drive, usually in traffic, to get to the sites. We saw the whole island but spent an hour + in the a.m. and an hour and a half in the p.m. getting back and forth. Beware, traffic on Oahu is wild! It's not for the timid.
