Beachfront Penthouse End-Unit w/ Wrap Around Lanai!!

Thank you very much for providing such wonderful accommodations!

All of the tropical photos are not a joke - they are the views just outside of the condo!

The unit itself is a beautiful drive up the coast from the city, on a quiet side of the island with its own private beach. The wide views with sliding doors allow you to sit inside and hear the ocean and feel the breezes. The bed is comfortable but the back room is a bit warm for anybody who is hot natured. We were thankful for the extra fans provided! You don’t have to pack as many clothes because you can wash and dry them in the unit. Kitchen is fresh and well appointed! Everything you need to feel at home is there.

A rental car is recommended so you can get to the nearby food stops and grocery. We ziplined at ClimbWorks just 15 minutes north (a must do if you like adventure!), we drove around the north side of the island to sunset beach and sharks cove to snorkel. Our favorite food truck was Shrimp Shack!

5 stars all the way!

The view was beautiful and it was great to have a private beach right down below us. The inside is very clean and has every you’d need including many kitchen supplies, towels, and a washer/dryer. All of the amenities were very convenient, especially for a longer stay. The bed was nice and comfy and we loved our stay. For the owner: I’d just make sure all of the information is up to date because on some of the tabs for information there is conflicting information like the code for the box and the checkout time.

We stayed in this 8th floor condo for 7 nights. The views from our wrap around lanai were gorgeous. The beach is small, but quiet and relaxing. There are no stores or restaurants within walking distance, but only a 10 minute drive to the grocery store. 20 minute drive to Turtle Bay and Sunset Beach. You can’t find ocean view condos anywhere on the north shore or Waikiki or Honolulu for this price.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful 5 days in Damien's condo. The unit was clean and had all the cookware we needed to make some delicious meals. The knives could use a little sharpening but that's to be expected with a rental. A few of the dishes had minor chips but we just avoided using those ones, just typical wear and tear with a rental property. There's a Longs Drugs and a Tamura right next to each other up the coast about 5 or so minutes away so you can stock up on all the essentials quite easily. The only real issue was the ants. We cooked a lot and made sure to clean up after every meal but there seemed to always be some scouting around in the kitchen. Even after washing/scrubbing the counter they'd be back once it dried. They really weren't that bad though and were mostly around the kitchen counter. We opted to not use any chemicals to try to get rid of them but instead just kept the area as clean as possible so they wouldn't get out of control.

No issues at all with the TV or WiFi - everything worked great just follow the provided instructions. We didn't feel like we were missing anything by not having A/C since the airflow is so strong being both a corner unit and on the windward side. If you crack the bedroom window and the east window/sliding door you'll get a great breeze flowing through the unit. Just be careful to close them if you leave because the showers are pretty sporadic.

The washer/dryer in the unit came in handy. No complaints about the shower pressure/water temperature. The bed was comfortable and being on the western side of the unit the bedroom stays nice and dark. If that bothers you you might want to bring a night light.

Depending on the tide there isn't much beach real estate but you'll pretty much have the whole stretch of sand to yourself which is why we stayed here instead of Waikiki. Damien has a couple sets of snorkeling gear which we took full advantage of. Keep in mind this is the windy side of the island so it's not ideal for snorkeling but we were still able to see quite a few fish as we slowly drifted north with the current. The bottom is mostly flat coral but every once in a while you'll see a big rock covered in coral with some fish circling around it. We saw people further out spear fishing a couple of times so I'm sure there's even more to see out there.

The views from the balcony and living room are stunning. Overall our stay was very comfortable and all our expectations were met or exceeded.
