Beautiful Remodeled Ground Floor 2bd/2ba - From $295/nt - Kamaole Nalu #105

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION--if you want the beach and a wonderful vacation, you MUST stay here!! I rented this condo for my parents, brother and my fiance last week, and this was SO perfect in SO many ways!! Upon our arrival, we met Patty and she was amazing! She gave us really great suggestions on where to eat lunch/dinner and so helpful!! The property manager, Jeff, was also very great (we want his job! LOL)! He cleaned the pool everyday, turned over the chairs and just kept the whole place looking great!

One of our favorite activities was to join the owners on the 'green' grass by the water and watch the sunset with our favorite cocktail. At the end of the grass is rocks, and its so awesome because you can see so many TURTLES!! We even bought a snorkel set so we could check them out. There is a VERY SHORT path down to the beach, im talking like 50 feet to put your feet in beautiful sand and crashing waves. My mom and I snorkeled every morning and saw TONS of sea turtles, various fishes and a super mini octopus! AWESOME. We loved the Lanai (patio). I took several naps in the red chair, just listening to the ocean and enjoying the day.

The Condo was PERFECT--they had a blender, and plenty of plates/cookware! Even though there is no AC, there was plenty of wind to come through the other side that provided a wonderful breeze and just enough for on the Lanai to not blow everything away but still stay comfortable! In my opinion, if you have to have AC in Hawaii, then you might as well go to Alaska! Hawaii is perfect temps ALL YEAR LONG. This location was great--every time we left the condo it rained wherever we went, so we spent SO much time at the condo, and it was fabulous! It was really like our own backyard oasis! People in other reviews complained about the pool and noise... ummm, YOUR ON VACATION, HAVE SOME FUN and join in on the fun!! We never had any complaints!! Across the street was Cafe O Lei, and its delicious and really reasonably priced! FREDs is close and we loved it there too. Liquor store is also across the street, along with a general market and SHOPS! You must also try the Cinnamon Rolls that are across the street too!!! YUMMO! If you want to save some $$, GRILL OUT, they have 2 grass grills which are PERFECT for dinner/lunch! We grilled every day--and the condo is stocked with plenty of supplies!! To the Owners--if you ever want to sell, call me! :)

It is with a heavy sigh that we have to leave today!! Our 7 night stay just wasn't long enough!! The central location of this unit is perfect!! Walking distance to most everything you need. The management co called us on arrival to make sure it was as expected. The maintenance guy Brian gave us excellent recommendations for dinner. Try Sensai's for the best sushi ever!! Pacific'O had excellent farm fresh food and drinks. Jason and Lance were very fun to chat with and very accommodating. We saw turtles everyday from our gorgeous ocean view. The room is exactly as shown on your website. We couldn't be happier and planning a return trip! We miss the groundskeeper manager Jeff and his wife already!! 😄

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay for a week right by the pool which was ideal with a 6 & 8 year old. 3 gas bbq's close by. This unit is 2nd in from the front so a great view. Listing says sleeps 6 but you must be aware that 4 would be sleeping in the same room, 2 in each double bed. The bathrooms and kitchen have been upgraded, the latter has everything you would need. Starter kits of soaps, detergents. etc. are provided. Linens in good shape with beach towels too. The unit had a very safe feel to it. I did read a review somewhere before we went saying the kitchen sink was filthy and prewarned the resort, only to find it was the same when we got there. I decided that the brown residue was possibly the finish coming off the bronze/coppery sink, and not an indication of the cleanliness of the unit. Sugar ants can be a problem so make sure there are ant traps - the office will provide them. Would rent this unit again.

Unless you don't mind little peace and quiet this unit is fairly nice. Kids splash and yell in the pool all day, then early and late risers are loud. No air conditioning so you need to keep your windows open...neighbors patio is right outside the master, we had smokers & loud talkers all week long! Says it sleeps 6, don't be fooled by that unless 4 are children & don't mind sharing double beds cramped in a hot back room. Overall dirty, very used furniture, and not well equipped with extras. Remodeled? When?
