This condo is in great condition and really does look like the pictures. Right on the water and beach, and as other reviews have said- you can see whales and turtles from the balcony. The beach is a bit rough (although most Hawaiian beaches have strong currents and can be rough). The apartment is well equipped, although the kitchen could do with a few more items to make it a good cooking place. The reason it didn’t score a 5/5 for us is the location. It’s very far from a lot of things and there aren’t many amenities around - and makaha where it is located is quite a poor area, we didn’t feel safe to really walk around on foot, which would be nice to see the area more. There are a lot of homeless people living on the beach and along the road, which is concerning but also makes you feel a bit like you’re in a privileged ivory tower when you stay here- that could be no different to Waikiki but we felt bad that the community was quite disadvantaged and we were holidaying right near them, without being able to interact with some local shops or give back by going to local cafes (there aren’t really any- just the typical American Fast food like MacDonalds and subway). Regardless we did enjoy ourselves and had quiet few days, and it is a good value for money place if you want to be beach front and not pay resort prices… just make sure you feel okay with the contrast between the gated tower and the homeless / community around as it will really put into perspective a different side of Hawaii when you stay here.
