The condo is right on the ocean. It offers great views of the sunset and whales during the migration season. The lanai is relatively small, although there is a kitchen nook which juts out next to the lanai which is completely enclosed in glass. So you have the option of sitting outside on the lanai or sitting inside with equally great views. I suppose this would be a great feature if the weather was inclement, although we had spectacular weather while we were there. The condo was clean, well stocked and nicely furnished. The owner has maintained it in tip-top shape (unlike some other condos we've stayed at on the island which were quite run down). The condo is very quiet and peaceful (although there are some roosters nearby that give you a nice wake up call in the morning). There is a nice, medium-size pool with ample lounge chairs, but no hot tub. There are a couple large BBQ grills and picnic tables for outdoor eating. The grounds are beautiful with a lovely park adjacent to the property. Kamaole Beach Park III is a short, 12-min walk for very good snorkeling. There is no sandy beach directly in front of the property, but we saw multiple turtles hanging out amongst the lava rocks which was very cool. Plus there is a nice sand beach right next door. BTW, the Palm restaurant next door has a great happy hour. The condo manager, Larry, and his staff were super accommodating and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!
