We loved it. The location was great on the island (an hour max in any direction) and within Kapa’a (walked everywhere locally). Our friends paid twice as much at the Sheraton next door and regretted it as soon as they saw our place.
The complex was great for our family: easy check-in/out, our kids (age 7&9) loved the pools (like Goldilocks, they had to try all 3) and we used the BBQ for 3 of our dinners.
The unit was adorable and newly renovated (when we booked, the description still said that photos will be updated once renovated but the photos are exactly what you get… and more). By far, this was the best stocked kitchen we have ever had. Maybe it was luck of the draw and what was recently left behind but we had coffee, condiments, Pam spray, veggie oil, and ice packs for our days at the beach. Ice packs!! The boogie boards, sand toys, Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrellas were great (although we gave up on the umbrella after our 2nd windy day). For downtime, the TV had cable, Netflix and YouTube. The single window AC was fine for us and we were there during a really hot week (88 degrees with high humidity). A bonus is that the heat exchanger dried our clothes hanging on chairs on the lanai. Bathroom stocked with Kirkland shampoo/conditioner and Dove body wash (and of course towels and TP).
Only things to maybe note is that, (1) although this would have been an ocean view at some point, the city built an ugly white plywood fence around the park across the street so that is all you see from the lanai and (2) the bathroom has a mildewy smell due to very little air circulation. It’s clean and the shower newly renovated, but the smell is noticeable.
I texted Stephen on a Fri at 5pm as the front door keycard reader was slowly dying due to a low battery (better than calling locked out on a weekend, right?), he replied within minutes… and he was so nice about it.
Mahalo for sharing your unit with us, Stephen and Christie. Already counting the days until we can come back!
