The description and pictures of this location do not do it justice. This condo is located on a beautiful and secluded beach. The water is clear and gentle enough to swim and snorkel in (bring your own mask). We were able to see several sea turtles on the beach and in the ocean. The front exterior of the condo is a work in progress. Ignore your initial doubts. The inside offered plenty of space for my family of 5. The true value is in the location and the beach behind the condo. We liked that it was in the “country” and away from Honolulu. This allowed us to be surrounded by mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. We would not have been able to experience nature in the city the same way. The city however is a close 45-50 minute drive. Tips: Try the food trucks that are within walking distance of the condo. It was so convenient to be able to walk there for lunch straight from the beach. We are hooked on the mango sticky rice and the beef pho. Drive a few more minutes to Foodland grocery store, instead of Tamura’s market. They have a better selection of everything and much better prices.
