My wife and I stayed at this property for a week late March through early April. Of all of our couples getaways, this was by far the most memorable and breathtaking experience. As shared in the description, the ocean view is beyond amazing. The white sandy beach is situated in between two dark mountains. The water is crystal blue. We walked the beach daily, and swam a few feet away from sea turtles.
As listed in the posting, this is a quiet beach in “old” Hawaii. We preferred to spend our day on the beach, cook our meals in the fully furnished kitchen, and eat on the lanai versus venturing out.
While there is a grocery store a few blocks away, we chose to drive to Target in Kapolei and grab everything we needed for the week. It was far less expensive than the handful of items we needed to grab from the local store. There are also a couple of local restaurants. We dined twice at the location recommended by our hosts, and it was wonderful.
We were also so grateful for the kindness of our hosts. They communicated every detail well in advance, and left detailed instructions throughout the condo on how to work the appliances, washer and dryer, internet, and TV. We also messaged our hosts after breaking an item, and not only did they respond right away, they asked that we not worry and enjoy our stay.
We also loved the gated parking, and overall set up of the condo. The hosts accurately describe the air conditioning unit. It is not like AC on the mainland. However, we were more than comfortable with the trade winds, and did not need it.
If you’re looking for restaurants, nightlife, and more of a tourist populated area, this is not your pick. If you’re looking for an unforgettable, breathtaking, swimmable beach with sea turtles, gorgeous patio to eat home cooked meals and watch sunsets, comfortable and clean condo… this is it. We would love to come back!
