This is a great spot to stay!! I stayed with 3 other girls all in our early 20’s and we never felt unsafe about staying here, the 24hr security was a huge selling point for us. The side of the island that the condo is located on is definitely more local so you shouldn’t expect anything super touristy going on on the west side which is really nice. The closest beach, Makaha beach, was one of our favourites. The waves were amazing and the beach was never crowded which we loved. I will definitely say Tim is not wrong by saying renting a car is essential if you want to fully experience the island. We were originally on the fence about renting one but we are SO happy we did. Although the west side is awesome it was nice being able to head to different parts of the island on our own schedule and get around the West Side very efficiently. Tim was super easy to communicate with and really accommodating. The condo is lovely, I would recommend to anyone!
