Whales! What a great view from the balcony of the water. We saw so many whales (February mid-month is prime Whale season). The condo was extremely comfortable and much larger than I expected. It had everything my family needed to cook meals and even nice tupperware to take lunches to the beach. Beach chairs, cooler, boogie board, and umbrella were provided which was great. Although the decor is a bit dated (carpet, older bathroom fixtures, etc.), the apartment was SPARKLING CLEAN so I did not mind that at all--we liked the retro Hawaii vibe. Great condo with all the little details needed to have a great stay. Almost forgot to mention the lovely pool with BBQ grills which was only a few doors down. It was nice for the kids to play in the pool while I grilled after a tiring day relaxing at the beach (also walking distance, about 15 minutes)! Communication was immediate and super easy. Highly recommend and would stay there again.
