  Thank you Emmmauel, this is a great property! the convienicne of a kitchen and ALL the amazing things supplied like boogie boards and sorkelling gear made our family trip wonderful. You are literally steps away from the ocean with an almost private beach. The beds are very comfortable and the futon works great for 2 kids!The only downside is noise, the traffic ouside and people walking past the bedroom window is difficut drown out even with the fans.But the property is well kept and Lisa and Emmaunel were both excellent at answering questions and being helpful.

  This is the place you want to stay. We loved it. It was everything Emanuel said it was. It really is only 30 steps from the beach. What he didn't tell us is how awesom it was to get up every morning and be on the beach before the sun came up and watch the sunrise. It was so relaxing and beautiful. Condo was beautifully decorated and well kept. Lots of snorkel gear and beach stuff. It was nice that it was on the end of the building and the parking place was very close to by. There was no extra charge for parking. Emanuel had emailed us great instructions so we had no problems when we arrived. We loved it that we were away from the City but close enough if we wanted to go there. We were only 10 minuets from the Polynesian Cutural Center which you really don't want to miss. Found the best Shaved Ice at Angels next to Food Land by BYU. Also found great Garlic Shrimp at Tita's a few miles past BYU. We went to 3 Islands, stayed in 3 condos and this was the most relaxing. Loved it. Hope to return again. Mahalo Emanuel

  The condo was just as described. Everything was that we needed was provided for...dishes, cookware, coffee grinder etc. Lots of extras like games and snorkel gear, and water mattresses. Our party of 5 was very comfortable with the sleeping arrangements. We saw a few bugs but we were not too bothered by it...it IS Hawaii! The owner was very helpful and answered all communications promptly. The beach was basically empty and the swimming was fantastic! Not too many fish were seen while snorkeling but we did see lots of turtles! The parking lot was a bit stinky, especially at night. Definitely use the provided fans at night to drown out the sounds in the area. All and all we were pleased and would stay here again.

  We enjoyed our stay here. The North Shore has a slower pace of life than the Waikiki area. We enjoyed the quiet beach and clean home.

  This property was perfect for our family. The beach is perfect for families with small kids and those seeking a quiet place to enjoy the beauty of Hawaii! The beach is beautiful, and most days we were the only people on the beach. This allowed for our kids to run up and down the beach chasing crabs. The condo slept 5 comfortably, and the kitchen allowed us to eat at home when desired. Having all the body boards and snorkel gear in the condo was very accomodating, since we did not have to go and rent elsewhere on the Island. Emmanuel was great and very responsive and available when needed. Thanks for a wonderful stay in your condo.

  This is the perfect spot to get away from the hustle & bustle of Waikiki! The beach was marvelous with calm waters for swimming & great walking opportunities. Emmanuel provides everything you need for a worry-free perfect stay with great sleeping arrangements & comfortable beds. The cool breezes from the ocean & the ceiling fans keep you very comfortable & the modern kitchen is a dream. The best part is the lanai for all your meals, especially morning coffee. Fabulous value for location & comfort!!! We shall return!

  Both my husband and I appreciated the comforts of our condo. My husband snorkeled both the morning and afternoons feeling great with the beach within walking distance. We treasured to peace and quite of the condo. The breeze from the bedroom window to the open door in the living was a wonderful natural air condition. FANTASTIC! We prepared breakfasts and a few lunches enjoying the great view of the skies and water. We hope to stay at this condo again. Mahalo

  We just finished a week stay at Emmanuel's place in Punaluu. We especially enjoyed the nearly private beach (that was literally right there!) And the screened in lanai. We made good use of the snorkels, masks, fins, boogie boards and mats - it was great not to have to bring those with us! The listing description/photos were accurate and the place was really well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and even bake cookies during our stay. We enjoyed the more local feel and felt we were close enough to North Shore and Kailua and even Waikiki for our needs. The condo was really clean and neat; the grounds were clean and well tended, if older, and the care takers were friendly and pleasant. We found this to be a great value for the price. We would recommend providing additional toilet paper and laundry soap. While there are an impressive number of rules, none of them were really hard to follow although I agree keeping kids quiet around a pool can be a challenge!

• Lots of pros and some cons to consider

  Pros...This side of the island is beautiful, with trade winds that keep the condo cool. The condo is indeed very close to the beach. The beach is beautiful, with crabs at night to search for with young kids and gentle surf for them to play in during the day. The beach was almost private. The inside of the condo was nice and matched the pictures online. The linens, plates, cups, etc. were very organized! The condo was generally quiet, especially with the fans on. The owner was nice to let us in early because the unit was available that day, which we appreciated. The property was pretty clean. Cons...The pool has lots of "quiet" signs posted all around it, which seems a little difficult if you have small children who like to swim and play. The ocean view is difficult to see from the lanai because the condo is on the bottom floor and has plants blocking most of the view. The fan in the back bedroom is a must at night, otherwise you will hear everyone who shuffles by the room. Bring your own toilet paper because there was only a couple rolls provided and with 4 people that lasts maybe 2 days. There are a lot of condo "rules" which take away a little from the relaxing atmosphere of a vacation. The owner was very rude upon checkout because my husband had to stay behind to do last minute dishes....(my husband was not in the cleaning lady's way at all and was just finishing up when she got there). My husband left about 15 minutes later than checkout time. The cleaning lady called the owner and the owner called us right away and was very rude about us leaving late. He wouldn't listen to any reasons on our end and that was disappointing to us and could have been handled with more respect. *Would I stay here again?? With small children, probably not. As a couple, without the rude checkout conversation, probably yes.

  Owner response: Thank you to these guests for staying at the condo. I really appreciate them taking the time to leave us their feedback. The plants by the lanai, which are are kept trimmed to no higher than 2 to 3 feet, might block part of the ocean view when you are sitting down . This is the price of having the most convenient location. Please check the pictures which offer a true representation. The quiet signs by the pool are there in consideration of all guests staying at Pats at Punaluu. All guests receive a Final Confirmation letter prior to their visit. In the Final Confirmation it clearly states that all guests must read the Final Confirmation. In her feedback, the guests mentioned two things, not enough toilet paper and the late check-out issue, both of which are clearly addressed in the Final Confirmation. First, I do not advertise that I supply toiletries because it was a problem in the past when guests ran out of items. You will be responsible for your own supplies, although you will see that I do make an effort to make you feel welcome. Second, your deposit will be deducted for an additional nights stay should the unit not be vacated by 11am as the contract states. There are no half day rates. You will also be responsible for any expenses incurred affecting new guests or cleaning help. The check out time is critical because the next guest will be checking in at 3pm and we need the time to prepare the condo into welcoming shape for the new arrivals. The cleaning girl just confirmed that the 15 minutes her husband stayed was actually one hour. Maybe anxiety about the late check out was misinterpreted as rudeness by the guest. In any case, our sincere apologies. Finally, The guest did not mention that even though they did not meet the 11am check out requirement, we still refunded their full deposit.

  Having ground floor unit and parking in front was very convenient. The unit was clean and organized. Kids enjoyed the beach and catching sand crabs at night. Papa Ole's was the only thing near by with a good breakfast menu, otherwise McDonalds was 10 minutes away in Laie. Having 7-11 only 2 minutes away was convenient for those late night snacks. Emannuel was very helpful in all phases of booking the reservation. The wife wants to make sure we go back again and fully enjoy the unit as we were busy during the day and only stayed in the unit at night. We will definately recommend others to Emmanuel.
