We just got back from this two-bedroom corner unit at Elua Village right on the ocean here, and it was fantastic from start to finish. A lot of places on the islands market themselves as “oceanfront” when they’re really a few buildings back or across a road — this one is not that. This corner unit is legitimately, directly on the ocean, and you feel it immediately: the views and the trade winds coming through were incredible.The condo itself was modern, spotless, and the kitchen was well-equipped, which made it easy to cook when we didn’t feel like going out.Location-wise, it’s hard to beat: the beach is literally steps away, and both pools and the pickleball courts are right there too. Restaurants and golf courses are all within walking or a short driving distance, so we never felt like we needed to plan much — everything we wanted was close.What really stood out was the grounds and maintenance staff. They are meticulous and clearly care for this beautiful property. We happened to be there on the fringes of a hurricane that passed through, and watching them jump into action to prep the facility ahead of it — while keeping the grounds immaculate the whole time — said a lot about how well this place is cared for. On top of that, the team that manages the condo itself made the whole booking and stay completely seamless.We loved every bit of this trip — so much that we’re already tempted to book it again. Fair warning: you might want to grab your dates before we do.
