I have to admit, we were very skeptical about the location of Tess' condo, but after staying there, it really doesn't matter. 1. Oahu is a tiny island, so you can get from one side to the other in an hour. 2. YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE THE HAWAIIAN PRINCESS! With the exception of food, anything you could possibly need while on a beach vacation is in this condo. Designer sheets and towels, name brand shampoo and condition, boogie boards, surf boards, skim boards, different types of beach chairs, snorkels, picnic basket, cooler, hats, BBQ grill, cable TV, and that's just the tip of the iceberg! Blow dryer, straighter, curling iron, AND nail polish for the ladies. It was definitely one of those situations, where you ask and you shall receive, by opening a closet or drawer. The best part about this place is the all around balcony. Forget sleeping in the bed, sleep in the living room with the ceiling fans on and the doors open for the ocean breeze. Ocean's waves were pretty scary, but that's not Tess' fault. I cannot recommend this place enough times. Stop reading and BOOK!
