First let me say, the Condo was beautiful! The view was unreal. You’ll want to be on the porch every evening to watch the sunset!
The surrounding area is not very touristy... mostly locals live here. We had heard locals aren’t too friendly to tourists, but our stay here proved that was false. Everyone we met was extremely kind, and nobody bothered us. There are a few nearby areas where the homeless hang out, but they didn’t bother us either. I will say, don’t allow yourself to be a victim of theft- do NOT leave items in your car!!! Most crime on the island is theft, mainly from cars.
The parking lot of the condo is gated and there is security from 3pm-7am. I will also add, this is not a “go out to eat” kinda area... condo has a kitchen, and I suggest using it. Waianae is quite the drive, and traffic is rough.

Ok now back to the condo- BEAUTIFUL. Full kitchen with all the things you need to make a meal. Even a coffee maker!! Bed was comfy, everything in the condo had a modern look and feel (new appliances, counter tops, etc). Only negative was no AC. however.... open the sliding glass door, crack a window on the front side, and the ocean breeze feels amazing! It would get hot during the day, but at night the wind coming through the condo felt incredible.
The owner was extremely fast with replying, very kind, and made us feel very welcome! Stop looking for a place and book this one!!!!
