This is quite simple...you don't need to look any further for the ideal place to spend your vacation in Hawaiian paradise, because this is definitely it! It was very difficult to say goodbye to this idyllic home (even if we weren't returning to the Northeast that had just been hit by a blizzard and sub-zero temps!) The Gallagher family has just completely gutted and remodeled this unit and spared nothing in the way of comfort and amenities. We reserved the dates on faith, because at the time they didn't even have pictures since they were in the middle of the remodel. We were very well rewarded! Clearly they put a lot of love and thought into designing the best use of space, and the attention to detail is remarkable. They have created a very stylish, inviting and comfortable home, that takes full advantage of the stunning view of the ocean (just a few feet away), and the island of Lanai (just a few miles away). Both bedrooms upstairs have king beds and private bathrooms. The master bedroom has a balcony with a huge sliding door, double sink and large walk-in shower. Nothing compares to being able to wake to the sound of waves lapping on the shore as the sun rises. Downstairs there is a small, but well thought-out bedroom with a queen bed and twin-size bunk bed, with large individual "lockers" for storage. Perfect for the kids. We fell in love with the mattresses, which were very plush and gave us all a wonderful nights' sleep. (I think it's time to replace my mattress with what they have!) And each room has individual fan/ac control. The remodel moved the kitchen from the front of the unit to the back, which makes perfect sense. The kitchen/family area opens up to the lanai with an entire wall of folding doors, and a positively mesmerizing view. We were even spotting whales in the distance. The first thing we did every morning was open those doors all the way to let in the sights and sounds. It was so nice to be able to prepare meals, be close with everyone and take in the view all at the same time. And then at the end of the day, watching the sunset is indescribably beautiful. They have a large table (seats six) on the lanai, along with a big bbq, beach chairs, surf board, snorkeling items, etc. The beach is not accessible from directly behind the unit (there is a small drop off that you are not allowed to navigate), but access is only a short walk away through a gate. There are three pools on property, one is a "quiet" pool. No keys anywhere, main gate, front door, pool & beach gates are all accessed by keypad. WiFi worked well. Although this unit is located in a large complex, this particular unit is in the very last building, and the overall feeling is peaceful, quiet and respectful, with quiet hours from 10pm-8am. We...
