Modern Mango is a beautiful property in a fantastic location. We loved being so close to the quiet local beach and gorgeous Laie point. The local shopping center was extremely convenient and we were also close to lots of fun North Shore locations such as Turtle Bay (amazing sunset watching locale), Haleiwa, and Waimea Valley (hike through the Botanic Garden to the best waterfall/swimming hole ever!). The full kitchen was nice for making breakfast. The unit comes with access to lots of beach equipment. We were grateful for the reef shoes, and I used a snorkel and mask too. If our stay had been longer, I would have liked to use a boogie board!

The one negative was the lack of air conditioning. We thought we were going into it with eyes wide open about that, but the ceiling fans were very noisy (they made a thumping/hammering noise) and we got almost no sleep during our two nights there. No matter how lovely, cool, and breezy it was outside, for some reason the inside of the unit was always hot and the air was thick, even with every window open and every fan on. Maybe the upstairs unit is better in this regard.

Also, do note that the washer/dryer is in the host's portion of the home and you will have to contact them for access.

All in all, we loved almost everything about our stay, but probably would not return as it was simply too uncomfortable at night to get a good rest.

Thank you for the hospitality!
