Personal impressions:

Short summary: like home, nice little place to go if you can abandon hotel service

Location:
Waimanalo Beach is a charming hideaway on the east side of Oahu that is ideal for romantic couples, as well as ocean sports enthusiasts (sunbathing, snorkeling, scuba) and nature enthusiasts (cycling, hiking, birding). Waimanlo Beach is known among local folks as the most beautiful and the longest white sand beach on the island with deep blue ocean and sand bottom, which is excellent for swimming, bodysurfing "boogie boarding", wind and board surfing Tennis courts and golf courses are just a few minutes away. This area is perfect for your relaxation and recreation.
The township of Waimanalo is situated between the ocean and volcanic mountains, has a country-like character and the Hawaiin culture remains quite evident here.

Rooms:
The place is privately owned and has two rooms to rent. 
1.st: "Mauka Suite" is located to the garden with a great mountain view. It is a combined sleeping/living room with a spacious bath, veranda and a small private garden.
T
he 2.nd room is called "Makai Suite" which is located to the beach with a great panoramic view towards the ocean. However the small bathroom/restroom is located outside the room. It also has a nice veranda with ocean view.
Each room has a phone, a color cable TV and a small refrigerator. Air-condition is provided by a ceiling-fan which was really enough, we hardly used it. Except room-cleaning there is no additional service provided, but you are free to use the kitchen/fridge etc. twenty-four hours a day together with the house owner. 


Food:
As I mentioned there is no service provided, but there are some stores around which offer everything you need and for fast food there is a McDonalds and a chinese restaurant close by. If you are looking for more you have to use the car.

Beach:
The beach is wonderful, as it is located away from the tourist beaches you are mostly alone there. If you know the TV-Series 'Magnum' that's the beach, the set where the series was shot is about 2 Miles away. You can take long walks at the beach without being disturbed. 

Excursions:
Hawaii is not only great to go for the beaches but also for the land-scapes, historian buildings and of course Honolulu. You should definetly plan some days only for sightseeing. I've been there two times and far away of seen it all.
