Great location

Overall this property was great. Close to amenities and well kept. Some items that could have been better: - The lanai was a tight space with all the furniture - there was no kettle (we like to have tea instead of coffee) - the air conditioner in the main living space seemed to be insufficient for cooling down the space. Particularly for people sleeping in the loft. Good stay overall though.

We loved our stay! The condo was lovely with an unobstructed view of the ocean. We loved sitting on the lanai watching the beautiful sunsets. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you would need and nice appliances. There were beach chairs, beach towels and boogie boards provided. Air conditioning units in each room that kept the unit cool.

Family vacation

Absolutely loved staying here. Had read all the reviews and was highly impressed with all the feedback given and decided to stay at this unit. Loved, loved this place. We slept to the sound of the waves and woke up to the birds chirping. The unit was exceptionally maintained, had every cooking appliance needed as well as beach chairs, towels, etc. Would definitely stay here again and encourage others to do so.

Excellent communication and the view from the photos could never do the view and the sunsets justice. Its a place you feel like its your own and you want to treat it the same. One of our favorite places. Highly recommend.

Not as advertised

This is advertised as sleeping 7. That correct however the living room has seating for 4. One lounge chair that was broken. Couch covering worn and dirty. The bed in the master bedroom was worn down on one side. Seating for 4 at the kitchen table. Only seating for 6 on the balcony. Unable to get toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap or extra towels etc from the main office. Overall disappointing for the $12,000 fees.

Outstanding!

My family and I have stayed at many different short term rentals all over the world, over the years and this experience was truly exceptional in every aspect. The pictures do not do it justice.(Please prepare for a very lengthy review. I tried to break it up so it could be helpful 😁) Communication - the unit is managed by Aloha properties who were readily available, helpful and easy to reach by email, text or phone call. They responded quickly to any questions. Providing a tremendous peace of mind You have an option of splitting payments or full payment. Check in ‐ was very simple. With very friendly and welcoming front staff. The resort has lots of activities planned daily . Some additional amenities that are also available at neighboring facilities, I.E. a gym for a fee. (special shout out to Honey who was very helpful. If she didn't know the answers out. Above and beyond.) The unit- Breathtaking! We arrived just after sunset 45 minute drive from the airport So the truly magnificent views weren't seen until the morning. We were greeted with a very nice quality tote bag as a gift. Which came in handy during the entire trip . Mahalo! Very clean! My sister in law and I are neat freaks. We were impressed with how clean everything was. Every room and nook and cranny. We were also struck by the thoughtfulness and decor. Truly high-end finishes throughout the unit. Write down to the beach side colors and movement throughout. The granite in the kitchen is amazing. Gorgeous kitchen with breathtaking views of the ocean and palm trees. The Kitchen ‐truly a fully stocked Even a blender for Pina colodas or smoothies. We prepared a dinner most nights. Because it was so easy. Grocery stores were a very short walking distance as well as the best fish market in town. Great spices provided. Beds king, queen, and Murphy bed in the loft which were each extremely comfortable. I would say medium not too soft not too firm with very soft sheets. Bathrooms. Clean and updated.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and 2 teenage kids stayed in the the unit. On initial arrival, the A/C was not working properly. Contacted the host and an HVAC tech was onsite same day and had hit fixed. Found the drain blocked, so easy fix. . I bring this up to show the attentiveness from the host. He was awesome. The unit was clean and description was spot on. Kids had their own beds, which was great.Beds were all very comfortable and clean. The kitchen had all the necessities and having washer/dryer was nice. The view from the deck was great and we watched turtles feed 30 yards off the beach every day. I even snorkeled out and swam with them, but kept the required 10 feet distance. The unit is within walking distance to everything needed to make your comfortable including grocery store, gas station, restaurants and dive shop. The beach is a short walk away. The hot tub and pool was always clean. The grounds were well taken care of. We highly recommend this unit and location.
