We received the storm of a decade resulting in heavy rain and intense wind, flooding, washouts, and the intermittent loss of power, water and communications across the entire state. While that may have ruined an ideal vacation, we had to and continue to live through that experience. We cannot control the weather, or similar events like volcanic eruptions, but we can control the living conditions of the condo unit and wish you had addressed that specifically instead of giving us 4 stars because of rain. We hope you were comfortable and that the accommodations were sufficient for your needs.

This place is the best location. Right in the middle of everything. We loved walking to coffee and restaurants and shopping. It has a great ocean view off the balcony. The check in was smooth and easy. It is a safe place to stay. The communication with the people who manage the property was great. My only 2 things to share are this…The front of the condo faces a small soccer spot and 2 nights while we were here they played and you can hear everything with the windows closed. That also goes for the bar scene on the weekends as well. We also came with our 14 year old who was in the pool one day. They take the pool rules here every seriously no diving or throwing the balls in the pool. We were called out for both. Now I understand th diving but to not be able to play catch with a ball in the pool was weird to us.

We’re honored that this was your fourth stay in the unit—it’s the greatest compliment when our guests choose to return again and again. We love hearing that it feels like “coming home to Hawaii,” because that’s exactly the experience we strive to provide.
