Very nice condo. We liked that it was a bit retired from the main street yet close to the beach. The view is seriously legit and the lanai (balcony) is great (as long as you cut the AC while using it, otherwise it’s a bit noisy). The place is a bit smaller than the impression you get from the pictures and the kitchen sink is also the bathroom sink (which is not really a problem, we simply did not realize it until we saw the place). The AC will cool the place down in a matter of minutes so that’s nice.
Talking of noise, the city itself is pretty noisy. Lots of sirens all day and night and you can hear them very well in the condo. That seems like the norm here due to the type of windows used, not related to Akio’s place. We are currently in a condo in Maui and have the same type of windows.
The Island Colony condos have a nice 6th floor with pool, jacuzzi and picnic tables. They also have a convenience store which, although not cheap, is pretty nice to have on site.
There are a lot of good restaurants around as well, the beach is about 10 minutes away and is simply fantastic.
I would definitely return to Akio’s place if I ever have the chance. Communication with Akio was easy and quick. All and all, we’re super happy with our choice and I’m pretty sure you won’t be disappointed either.
