I live and die by Airbnb reviews so I will do my best to give a comprehensive review:
Overall, we LOVED this place!!!
The location was awesome! A 2-minute (or less) walk to the beach as it is just outside of the building. Very easy drive to many other beaches. 35-ish minute drive to Haleiwa with lots of food and sites in between. Many food options within minutes - food trucks, grocery stores with poke markets (we loved Tamura's), Seven Eleven had some local fare to try, etc. I was a little unsure how we would like the location having never been, but it was absolutely perfect. I felt like we were in the center of everything, without being crowded in a busy city! An easy drive to Honolulu or Waikiki, and we were pleasantly surprised by how quick the drive to the airport was. Location was a HUGE positive.
The space is very nice, modern, and extremely clean. Cleanliness plays a big factor in how much I enjoy a stay and there were no disappointments here. Plenty of space for my husband and I. Full kitchen to use if desired. Loved the openness of the living space, we could comfortably hang out at night on the couch or at the countertop bar. A nice little balcony off of the living room with seating to eat meals or drink coffee. The A/C is in the living room, so that area stays nice and cool. We were a bit warm in the bedroom, but there are two fans and those helped to cool things down a bit. The washer/dryer are in that area and made the room a lot warmer after and during use, so I would suggest you avoid doing laundry within a few hours of bed time.
We did attempt to sleep on the pull out couch where it was nice and cool, but my husband and I both found the bedroom bed to be much more comfortable.
We did use the pool once, which was great! We only spent a few hours at the beach right outside of the condo, and it was enjoyable. My husband snorkeled and saw lots of fish, as well as a turtle! We did try to see turtles on the beach early in the morning, but never saw any. Lots of lounge chairs on the grassy area that overlooks the beach.
The condo building was quiet, which I really appreciated. On-site parking was easy and straightforward.
Pamela was an AMAZING host! Probably the best I've ever experienced. First, she went above expectations and made arrangements to accommodate a change in our itinerary. She is VERY communicative and it made everything about our stay easier. There were no questions when it came to parking, checking in, checking out, house rules, etc. She offered lots of recommendations that were awesome and extremely appreciated!!! You can do a lot of research before visiting a place for the first time, but it's so much better to get recommendations from a local. She covered all of the bases when it came to recommendations!!! She was also very quick to respond, so if we had any random questions or wanted a suggestion, we could count on a fast response.
A few other things: It was very, very convenient having laundry right there in the condo - that was a huge bonus that I didn't realize until we were there and had easy access to it. Beach chairs, beach towels, beach mats, and snorkeling gear were available for use. Small cooler bag to pack food and drinks. Extra blankets and pillows were available, which I always appreciate.
This place is great, super clean, the location is amazing, and Pamela was the cherry on top! We would 100% stay here again the next time we visit!!!!!!!
