WOW! WOW! WOW! SOOOOOO peaceful! SOOOOOOO beautiful! This place is literally right on the ocean! AMAZING! Sitting on the lanai the waves roar in 24-7 and lull you to sleep in your chair. Looking over the railing you see huge schools of yellow tang, tons of black crabs skittering around the lava, an occasional eel in the tide pool.
Perfect location for sunsets year-round. The swimming pool is only twenty steps from your front door or lanai gate and is always at Goldilocks (just right) temperature!
The condo was very clean and well kept. Tons of dishes, cups, bowls, cooking utensils. Stove, oven, microwave, fridge and bedroom AC all worked wonderfully!
We live in Waikoloa - about 50 minutes north of this airbnb and just needed a week away to do nothing but watch and listen to waves. So we brought in all our own food and never left - stayed a full week and loved it. Tanned, swam, slept and ate. Ahhhhh. I think I slept more in that week than I slept the last six months.
So, we are locals and didn't need to go check out any "sites." We've been to all of them 100 times. But if you are from far away this condo is located very close to the heart of restaurants and shopping on Ali'i Drive. Very close to Magic Sands Beach and Honl's Beach as well. 8 minute drive to Walmart, Safeway and Target. 13 minute drive to Costco. Right in the heart of it all.
Very safe with a pincode front gate lock to get into the complex and another pincode lock on your condo door. Next door neighbors were very friendly and gave us a bottle of wine and a nice welcome card.
Kathie was very responsive in helping us get situated. We were the first renters after locals were allowed to rent STVR's again after being shut down during COVID lockdown. So she had to scramble to make sure the owners were okay with re-opening, then lined up a cleaner to get it all ready for us in just 24 hours and she did it all with a smile. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful experience. I highly recommend staying here.
