Pros:
- Very clean, spacious 3-bedroom ground floor condo
- Safe, gated community adjacent to Hilton (10-15 min walk)
- Assigned outdoor parking spot as well as garage parking provided
- Quiet and well-maintained surroundings with easy access to ocean front
Cons:
- Our stay occurred during particularly bad weather where intense high wind speeds of over 50mph impacted our enjoyment of the local area. At first, we just put that down to bad luck until we learnt more about the area. Apparently locals call this area “Waika-blow-a” due to frequent blustery conditions with wind funneling through the mountains
- The property managers were unfortunately not very friendly or helpful about what to do in the severe weather, but luckily we discovered from other locals that you just have to drive 20 miles south to enjoy the picture-perfect Hawaiian weather with clam sea and wind conditions
- We had issues with our dishwasher not working which the busy addressed.
- Pricey rental and resort fees
