Great location, and great condo in paradise.
I don’t think you can get any closer to the ocean that this condo. I think it was about 50 feet from the water. We took turns sleeping in the living room with our kids because we all want to sleep by the balcony and listening to the waves at night. Really relaxing. It seems that all the sailing boats from the island are parked right on front this condo, which gave a beautiful sight. We had breakfast every morning on the balcony drinking our coffee. We prepared our meals and sipping wine having this great view. It was a nice cozy place. Priceless.
The condo is located really close to the famous Front Street shops. 5 minutes’ walk to the grocery store Safeway, Starbucks, and about few restaurants with ocean view. The Front Street shops are about 10-15 minutes’ walk, which is close enough but also far enough to keep the condo in a quite zone. Best area on the island. The south side of the island seems really windy, every day. The north side, Kaanapali, really busy with all the resorts and hotels that to me look like project houses with those huge buildings.
If you go with young kids, there is a beach “baby beach” right nearby. Less then one minute drive south. Great beach for kids. You can snorkel and see many of the local fish. We did see few turtles the day we left and captured on the Gopro. That was awesome.
The pool was always in perfect condition. The building manager is great. She does a wonderful job and is she very kind. Just remember to check-in your car when you arrive. Fill in a paper at the building office.
We had a small plumbing issue, our P-Trap under the sink was clogged, we called the “My Perfect Stay” agent, and the quickly sent some one to fix it while we were out exploring. It was a quick response with no problem at all.
We went during the summertime, mid-July, so there are no whales, but I bet you can see the whales from the balcony during the winter/springtime. We did see turtles every day. Just look about 20-30 feet from the wall. They usually hang out there. Especially after 11am until early afternoon.
Overall, this was a great condo, newly remodeled with A/C., and with the best view on the island, watching sunset every night.
Aloha.
