Our stay at Jennifer's place was very great. The building was a bit smaller than I expected and right on really great beaches (closer than I expected).
Right next to/behind was a lagoon that was super great for our 3-year old. It was protected by rock walls so had very little waves, but had abundant sea life, next to the wall were some reefs including many types of fish, urchins and even an eel. Delightfully unexpected was the fact that sea turtles hung out here each morning we were there!
On the other side of the lagoon was a long beach with amazing views and amazing sand castle sand.
The sunsets from the condo and beaches were amazing. We also utilised the rooftop BBQs, very cool, but very little sun protection up there.
The pool was awesome as well. We didn't get a chance to use, but there was shuffleboard available as well.
The building was in a quiet place in Kihie so the beaches were not busy. That said it was minutes drive to food, grocery and shops. I would suggest Safeway as the grocery store to use - while not quite the closest, it was much larger and had a greater selection than those just down the road.
We already want to go back, and when we get the chance will definitely be checking if Jennifer's place is available.
