The condo was wonderful. You never really know what you are going to get with some rentals until you are actually there. This unit was EXACTLY as the pictures and description made it seem. All the linens were high quality, clean and in abundance. The pillows and beds were so comfortable. Bright windows and light throughout the unit with curtains for privacy. Never felt like it was too hot or too cold. Having a dedicated laundry was a lifesaver as well as a dishwasher, microwave and full stove/oven.
The closet full of beach toys, chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, etc was a bonus as well as the linen cabinet full of previous guest sunscreen, bug spray, first aid kit, etc. The beach towels were a plus too.
Alta was a wonderful host. There if you needed her, but left us alone and never micromanaged any of our stay.
The condo is located in a beautiful part of the island where you are close to Hanalei bay and Haena State Park which are two of our favorite places. It’s only 30 minutes from Kapa’a which is one of the more touristy parts of the island.
We ate at a few local spots: North Shore General Store (well priced, huge portions and close to the condo), Happy Talk Lounge (the view at sunset was worth the wait and cost) and B’s (pricey but delicious).
