Don't pack beach stuff, just bring your suit! There are easily 18 beach towels, beach toys, large totes, boards, beach chairs, small child flotation vests, umbrellas, left over flip-flops, & a cooler. The kitchen had laundry supplies, a bevy of sunblocks, and spices. Charcoal and lighter fluid were leftover so we grilled and ate outside under the lit patio and played bocce ball. To keep the sand out of the house, come in through the side gate and use the hose or outdoor Tiki style shower! It's nirvana - keep your shampoo/soap and a towel out there to rinse off sand and suit! Four stars because only 3/5 rooms has AC. All rooms have multiple fans. Ocean breeze is heavenly. Safeway is 0.6 miles straight down the road and Longs Drugs/CVS and Whole Foods are about a mile the opposite direction. Longs has everything beach you need. For military ID holders, register your car at Kanohe MCAS main gate, the back gate to the commissary and NEX is about 10 minutes straight down the road. I would stay here again. Susan Z.
