The Condo on the Beach, with full ocean views was home as soon as we arrived. We were tired after a long day of flying and were happy it didn't take long from the airport to arrive & start to settle in. The room was so immaculate and comfortable. We enjoyed the Chocolate Macadamia nuts that Khaled & Heather had left for us & the starter Vanilla Macadamia coffee, and cream and sugar. The kitchen has a small fridge, no freezer, and we were surprised how much we were able to fit in it. We did some shopping and enjoyed the BBQ area in the complex and the perfect romantic dining spot was right on our lanai. Private, relaxing and comfortable. There were pots and pans, cutlery, wine glasses, a toaster oven, microwave, hot plate and coffee maker provided.
The hosts provide so many helpful items, like the cooler, hiking poles, etc. too many to mention. We especially loved the Binoculars and spent hours sitting on the lanai watching for the Humpback whales, saw lots and lots of them breeching, which was a huge excitement for us. Got some memorable video of this! We saw a Monk Seal one day and a Turtle another day on the beach. The Hawaiian birds songs greeted us each day as well.
The mornings always began with a cup of coffee and watching the sunrise, from the lanai and getting some beautiful sunrise pics. We spent time down by the pool and lounged by the ocean, you can't get enough of the sound of the waves. The hot tub is always a meeting place of others visiting the complex and great stories come out of these gatherings. They have a bar area and on the Sat. night we were there they had live music too.
We turned on the tv only one night just to check the forecast for an upcoming tour. They have a dvd player but we never used it. The bed is very comfortable and lots of pillows. The safe inside the large closet was a nice feature and we put our passports in there for safe keeping but this complex is very, very safe. Lots of drawers to put everything away, even under the bed.
Khaled is only a e-mail or text away if you have any questions & we had a few and couldn't believe how quickly he responded. Heather and Khaled desire to make your stay at their condo a relaxing and memorable vacation. You could not get better hosts. We would not hesitate to return. It would be like coming home. If you want to relax and sit on a private lanai and get away from it all, this is the condo to pick. We've been gone for a few days now and I wish we were back there right now. Thank you Heather and Khaled for making us feel so welcome and allowing us to enjoy your condo for 10 days. Enjoy we Did!!
