PROS:
-Great staging point for beach activity off property...many amazing beaches within a 10 min drive. As you'll read below, use this as a place to eat, sleep, and re-charge between daily excursions and you'll be pleased!
-All beds extremely comfortable (including the pullout sofa-bed)
-Property had 3 coolers to use, a great ice machine near the pool (always full)
-Great kitchen functionality (12 cup coffee pot, blender, crock-pot, good dishwasher with stocked dishwasher detergent, plenty of plates and utensils.)
-Free parking
-Fantastic shave ice location just south (walking distance).
-Supermarket and ABC convenience store within a 1/4 mile
-Powerful portable air conditioners in both rooms kept rooms very cold at night with the doors closed (loud white noise from these machines but we actually found that helpful as the condo is right on a road. Additionally, we had jet-lagged kids getting up at all hours of the night, so the white noise let others sleep)...FYSA...we went with 4 other families all staying at different locations close to this site at similar price points per night. Many stayed at locations with better ocean views from the deck, and nicer pools...but the lack of AC in those condos made sleeping very tough for their children and the adults.
-Great spices and non-perishable condiments left behind by prior renters.
-Very nice trees/flowers/grass (garden view from the deck)
-Shanna (owner/manager) was extremely responsive. We needed extra towels and she provided them within minutes of me asking for them.
-Great water pressure for showers (removable shower wand) and lots of hot water for the shower.
CONS:
-No view of ocean from deck
-1 bathroom
-No laundry in the unit (coin laundry on property)
-No beach on property (you can snorkle from the property but there is no beach to sit)
-Swimming pool on property nothing special (3 feet to 7 feet deep). No kiddy pool, or hot-tub.
-Zero views of the ocean from the pool.
-No place to lay out on beach chairs near the water on site as the grassy areas near the water are infront of other condos. The property has beach chairs along the ocean wall...but they are literally right infront of other condos so there is no privacy for you (or them) if you use them.
Overall...for a family looking to get out and see the island this is a great place to stage from!!!
