This condo was everything it was described to be with one exception. It has absolutely beautiful views of the ocean and you can hear the sound of the strong waves very close. The condo was stocked well with plenty of toys and towels and a cooler - pretty much anything you need for days out at the beach, and everything you need for inside as well. The owner was very responsive to emails, and gave you many wonderful recommendations to help out, and Deborah, the property manager, was very kind and helpful, in spite of having 2 other jobs she is responsible for! The only exception I have to mention is the lack of AC. Supposedly the trade winds keep you cool without AC, but we went in May, and it was very warm, so we never cooled off until after midnight every day, even with 3 fans blowing just in our room. The only reason I remove a star for this is that I believe that in all fairness, it should have been mentioned along with the beautiful description of the condo. Not everyone is familiar with the Hawaiian style of life. I did my research, I talked to many people who have been to Hawaii (& was even told by many that the North Shore was the best area to stay for a quieter vacation, which that part is true!), & I read more than half of the reviews for this condo specifically, however, due to the timing of when I booked it, the majority of the reviews I read were written in the winter months, so there was no mention of the lack of AC. After I came home I read back through all of them, and saw the later reviews regarding the warm months. This puts a new perspective on it. It's hard to refresh and recuperate for the next day when you are hot and sweaty again immediately after taking a shower. Being from Texas where AC is a given everywhere, it never crossed my mind to ask, so it would have been helpful for the owners to just have mentioned it up front to help people to prepare better. (And just FYI, the majority of places on the North Shore also do not have it.) The only other thing I would mention would be the beds & pillows. For us, the beds were hard & the pillows old & flat. However, my husband has back problems, and I admit that we are very spoiled to an extremely soft bed, so this is a varied opinion to each individual taste and not fair to call a negative, since some people find firmer beds comfortable. I just thought someone might find it nice to know this as well. Overall, the condo was a great choice and an amazing place to stay!
