What a fantastic space! Tem was very responsive and provided easy instructions for check in, checkout, dining, etc. We knew we were right on the beach, but this was even better than we expected. This is a secluded part of the island from most of the tourist areas because the road ends shortly after Makaha. The public beach was adjacent and provided great waves for boogie boarding and gentle areas for wading or jumping in the waves. Water is so clear! Snorkel boats arrived a couple of times each day and anchored right in front of the condo (out a distance). We never tried swimming out to where they were, but did snorkel. We saw the state fish (humuhumu......), trumpet fish, butterfly fish, orange spine unicornfish (I loved these too) and what I thought was a clown fish. Turns out it was a juvenile wrasse. Nearly everywhere we went, we could see the beach and the mountains at the same time! We live in the midwest on the mainland and were very concerned about no air conditioning in the condo. Even though the temps were between 75 and 85 each day (March, 2018), the fans and breezes through the louvered windows and sliding doors made it very comfortable. The pool is heated so it is very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes, cutlery, soap, and essentials like salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, filters, etc. Although we did drive back to Honolulu to visit swap meet, Pearl Harbor, etc. we could have stayed at the condo the entire time. Nearby town has plenty of fast food options and well-equipped grocery store. The lanai was our favorite equipped with a table and chairs as well as a futon. The first morning, we saw a whale from the balcony and we really enjoyed watching the surfers. One day, we even saw a traditional Hawaii funeral at sea. This property is probably the best kept secret and bargain on the island. We hope to return someday.
