I will begin with the end: if this place is available, BOOK IT. The view is 10x better than can be described in pictures. Surfers are our morning noon and night... the snorkeling is great. Good walking and hiking nearby. Cool ocean breezes blow through the night, as you fall asleep to crashing surf.
The lanai is as good as it looks.
The condo is in super condition and has every amenity and thoughtful touch you can imagine. We have stayed in close to 50 AIrBNB/VRBO properties and this was as well outfitted as any we’ve ever been to. Insta Pot? Yup. Shampoo in the shower? Yes - locally sourced high end Hawaiian products. Great wifi, Sonos, guide books, wine fridge, every kitchen need is there. Nice welcome basket with coffee and wine.
Communication with the owners was nearly instantaneous and they were very flexible with arrival and departure time. We also overlapped with the cleaning team and they couldn’t have been nicer, offering to text us when they were done.
Gear closet has boogie boards, snorkeling stuff, beach chairs, beach towels, etc.
You really felt like you were staying at a close friend’s place. AWESOME. A++
