We absolutely loved our stays in Keala’s place! We were lucky to stay a month, but it was not long enough! We loved falling asleep to the ocean every night, and waking up to the waves. We felt like we were on the beach even when we were hanging out inside.We saw whales and sea turtles right from the Lanai. The view from the Lanai is strikingly beautiful and overlooks one of the best kept secret beaches in Oahu! It was never crowded, but still fun. There was everything we needed to have fun at the beach: umbrellas, beach chairs, snorkel/fins, and even coolers in various sizes. The snorkeling was great right in front of the condo as well- sea turtles!. The beach is very quick and easy to access. We had everything we needed to make meals, and Keala had great recommendations for eating out, and various attractions around the area. Right out the front door you have a view of the mountain range, and we saw several rainbows in the beautiful valley as well. There is also a beautiful golf course close by that was reasonably priced, and a fun course if you like to golf. We also went on several hikes in the area - all within 15 minutes.We had a rental car, which I recommend even if you are planning on staying close by. We ventured to the other parts of the island on day trips easily to the North Shore, Waikiki Beach, Kanehoe- avoid typical rush hour, but other than that we could generally get anywhere on the island in around 50 minutes to an hour, but there is enough to do on the West side if you like to stay close by. Keala was an amazing, responsive host. 😀
