Ocean View Studio - Polu Hale - 2 min Walk from Beach

We loved the Polu Hale, which was even better than expected. The partial ocean views are quite extraordinary, as are the mountain (to the east) and city (to the north) views. The condo is truly a mere 2 minutes away from the ocean, as well as restaurants and shops, and is ideally located for longer walks along the canal, into residential neighborhoods, and the backside of Diamond Head.

The king size bed was wonderful, the shower pressure strong, the kitchen was more than adequate and the bath and beach towels were plentiful. There was a large assortment of beach "toys," including snorkeling gear, and beach chairs stored in the large closet and throughout our entire 7-night stay, we felt completely at home.

Upon arrival, I was delighted to see the collection of books, videos, and games available for both adults and children and the large television which, believe it or not, we didn't turn on once! (That's not like us...) There was just too much to do and when in the room, we spent our time talking and looking out of the windows.

We visit Hawaii every year and have decided, after numerous trips to each of the islands, that we really do like Oahu best (the Waikiki area), in part because of the unlimited walking opportunities. We rented a car for this trip (big mistake...I should have known better...parking was $30 per night) Oahu is the only island where one is not necessary, except as a daily rental for drives around the island.

We haven't decided on a date yet, but we'll be back to Polu Hale in the spring - can't wait to feel that wonderful "aloha" spirit that permeates the air! Thank you, Gerard, for your assistance, professionalism, and friendliness; you were a delight to work with!

The property was well equipped, well situated and very comfortable.

The only negatives was the ac which the owner is working towards improving and the early morning garbage collection each morning .

Property is just as pictured and described. Location is perfect. Very close to the beach. Easy to walk to restaurants and shopping. The bed and pillows were actually comfortable! Plenty of space for 2 people. Owner is very responsive to any questions. I would definitely recommend this studio.

The Owner was very helpful upon arrival and everything was as it said. It was super helpful having a dividing curtain, madenit feel like two rooms at night for my husband and I and the kids. Pool is fantastic on the rooftop, it overlooks the city and ocean. It’s seriously 2 min from th beach and a great location for some shopping.

Thank you for making our stay great❤️

Gerard keeps a tidy studio apartment and everything you need to enjoy your stay is there. It was a 2 minute walk from the beach. Everyone was friendly and nice. I would definitely stay here again.
