We were looking for a place to stay for us and our two older teenage sons. We needed a kitchen to cook because my son has food allergies and it is hard to eat out constantly. We thought my boys would share the one bedroom but my eldest decided to sleep on the couch and let my other son have the queen bedroom the whole 10 days we were there. I had thought they would trade back and forth but he said he liked the couch it was comfortable. There were extra sheets and blankets we just used to make it cozy. Im a bed snob. I love my home bed. The king size bed was pretty comfortable. Not too soft, not too hard. The kitchen had all the pots and pans and items needed. We spent many hours on the ginormous lanai with fresh brewed coffee, reading the news in the morning and planning what beach we would go to for the day. The unit overlooks a small road but it wasn't loud or anything and part of the yard area. There are two tiny slivers of "ocean views" if you stand just right on the lania. Birds. So many birds. The unit had 3 boogie boards, 1 camping chair (not really a beach chair) a small beach umbrella that we used once and tied it to the camping chair because it didn't have a sand screw. There were 3 pool noodles too. And 4 beach towels. There was a full size cooler which was really nice if you are out for an extended day and want some drinks or food to not get hot in the Kailua heat. The washer and dryer in unit was really nice to be able to pack light and just do wash. It is a very small washer/dryer. Communication was great. However less than a week before we arrived they let us know that the condo was doing pool repairs or something and the pool would most likely be closed for our entire 10 day stay. They did say that an arrangement was made with the neighboring condos to use their pool. I did ask if we could be given a discount for the days that we wouldn't have use of the condo's own pool. They said no, because we did have use of the neighboring pool. It was very disappointing. The idea of just being able to walk downstairs and hang in the pool for a bit and come back to the condo, was actually more like a ten minute walk out of the gate of the condo, past a restaurant, into another gate of the other condo and across a parking lot and down a path to their pool. It was a pool, with hot tubs and chairs. Just really inconvenient. I understand it was beyond their control. It was closed for the entire ten days we were there. If I had known the pool was closed when I booked it, I would have booked somewhere else. There was a host book full of restaurants and menus close by. And some excursion pamphlets. And info about the area. We actually used to live on the other side of the island 20 years ago, but still found the info helpful. Especially the restaurant info.
