I apologize, we took this trip almost a year ago (in February). This was one of the best vacations we've been on! The property was exactly as described and we couldn't have been happier!
There were a few mix-ups (on our part) and had to contact the hosts several times. They always got back to us a quickly with answers to our questions and were a great help!
The condo was spacious, clean and provided everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with the cooking items to prepare food, we ate in most meals. Being located right on the beach, the view was fabulous, and we spent countless hours on the lanai.
The only two downsides for us was, first, the first few days the ocean was pretty choppy, (I am sure this was because of the time of year) but by mid week we were swimming and snorkeling with sea turtles right right in front of the condo! Once the water settled down, it was crystal clear. We walked the beach everyday.
Second, the area surrounding the condo had neighborhoods that were a bit run down, but we always felt safe! We walked for several miles from the condo, in both directions and were fine.
A rental car is definitely needed if you plan to see the sites of Oahu, but it was more important for us to be away from the busy areas and enjoy the beauty and quiet of the island where we were located! We would definitely return and stay in this same property! Aloha!
