There’s two sides to this review:
There’s no question that the condo location and view are spectacular. We slept with the sound of ocean waves and woke to glorious sunrises.
The private beach is truly private and easily accessible.
As for the condo and building, it’s a little rough around the edges. Probably is due to the sea water nearby. Light fixtures and water fixtures had seen better days.
It’s definitely not fancy. But again, you’re not spending much for waterfront views. There’s a trade off..
The living area furniture - consisting of two futons- is very uncomfortable. But who’s sitting around in Hawaii ?
The beds were OK. The second floor upstairs master bedroom is ideal. Great view and balcony. The two other bedrooms face the roadway and you’ll hear neighbors coming and going.
The construction work felt a little understated from past reviews. It’s actually a large project and we had jackhammering some mornings.
The condo neighborhood itself offers little other than beaches, food trucks and some shops. We never saw a bar and often found ourselves driving an hour for dinners and entertainment.
Bottom line: The views and location are a “10” while the condo itself would rate a “7” maybe even a “6”
If you’re on a budget and have a large group, you can’t beat the price. Just be sure to have appropriate expectations on the condo itself.
