My three sisters and I stayed here for a week on a final trip before two of them get married. Lance and Mika's place suited us very well and we would stay again given the opportunity.
We definitely appreciated all the tips from previous reviewers, a lot of the info came in handy, so we thought we'd add a couple more.
Access to the building/elevator/parking is limited to one fob that we were provided with. We were informed on arrival that they were trying to get a few more which would be nice as we had to make sure we timed our entries and exits to make sure everyone could get in and out as needed. We were able to work this out, but it did complicate things just a bit. On the plus side, the security was nice considering the building is located in an alley type street with hostels on either side. It was nice to have that extra layer to park our rental car behind, etc.
Parking is limited for sure! But we were always able to find at least one spot. (We did do our best to heed the warnings to park before 6pm.) Also, having a car is unnecessary with all of the nearby access to stores, beaches, and bus lines, etc.
The apartment was stocked with a great collection of beach gear, umbrella, chair, noodles, snorkel gear, boogie board.... That was a nice surprise as we were not expecting this. It did seem like surboard storage was limited to your own car (not recommended), but my sisters were able to rent their boards at Moku (one block inland from the Duke statue) and store them at the rental shop for the week of their rental.
The windows did not block much sound from the outside, but the window AC worked as a great white noise to cancel that out. 👌🏼
Check in was simple despite my poor communication beforehand. And check out was even easier!
All communication from our hosts/host representatives was great, everyone was easy to work with!
