Such a mom

Grandma and Grandpa are going to Hawaii with us!  We’re all very excited, but it’s made me reassess our accommodations and I thought I’d ask your advice.  We have three options – all of which are about the same price, surprisingly.  The first is a condo just a walk from the beach.  It’s really nice looking with a great kitchen (two – one inside and one out) and it has a sliding door that opens the lanai to the living room.  Aside from the beach, the bonus is a kids pool at the complex.  Downside?  It’s a condo and I think it’s not a great value.

The second is an actual house with a pool.  Brand new, with an ocean view and nice kitchen (as if I cook – but my dad does, so that’s why it’s on the list).  Downside?  It has a pool.  Love the idea of it, but I have an active toddler.  Upside?  It has a pool.  You understand the dilemma.  It’s also a drive to a sandy beach.

The third is a very unique hotel.  It’s actually a ranch, with horses and everything.  The accommodations are restored cottages, with every amenity (including daily maid service, which I sort of need).  Some have plunge pools.  Very nice.  Downside?  While there is a view of the ocean, the ocean is a ways away, which means we would need to drive to the beach. Thoughts?
