From the patio you can have a soft wind as you watch the morning rise from the balcony. Its a beautiful view of the mountain with a touch of the ocean as well. The beach is less than a 5 min drive. On weekends at the beach near the condo there's a great food truck present. If you drive down further to where the locals call point to point there's some breathtaking views. The condo was as pictured and it is was a small piece of paradise. It was very clean inside and it was to the point everything you need. #Loved the kitchen and the master bed room. Nightly we went to the amenities located wuthin the gated community. Theres several pools and my favorite the hot tub. They have a nice tv in the common area for family to gather. It has a plethora of channels to choose from. There are games available for use. I enjoyed how the person in the kitchen can interact as family play games etc. We would gather around the beautiful island and have morning breakfast together. Just a note there's about 12 to 15 steps to get up to the condo and inside 2 of the bedrooms must be reached by spiral staircase so there is some small amount of climbing. There's are air conditioning units in the condo, but I suggest traveling between 9 to 4 so it won't be to warm inside the condo and you can avoid rush hour traffic. There's a grocery store less than 10 miles away so you can offset the cost of eating out if you have a family. Easy travel via rental car to Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, Dole Factory, and the Polynesian Culture Center. My advice drive against rush hour traffic time. What should be a 40 min ride can turn into 1.5 hours. Penny and Cannon had great hospitality. They gave tips and responded quickly to any of our questions. I would stay here when visiting Hawaii. For the cost and experience, it was priceless.
