My husband and I stayed at this condo as a base for 4 days while we traveled along the north shore during the day for numerous activities (Kualoa ranch, Turtle bay).
PROS:
The unit itself is very cozy, comfortable with lots of amenities. There was a kitchen stocked with a working stove, oven, microwave and cooking equipment, TV, board games, beach equipment including snorkeling gear, beach chair, floats, boogie board, beach umbrella, beach towels. The bed was very comfortable, and the bedroom had an AC unit that worked well to keep the room cool. We could walk right up to the beach in a matter of seconds and we had a lovely view of the sunrise from our patio every single morning. Designated free parking space too. Some delicious food trucks right down the road within walking distance, as well as a grocery store with great food/produce within 5-10 min drive.
CONS:
- There is a complete water shutdown for repairs 8:30am -5pm in this unit 4/27-5/23. No access to drinking water, toilet flushing, shower, etc. So have drinking water in the fridge if you are planning on staying in your condo, and if you have to use the toilet or shower during the water shutdown you can use the gym facility downstairs
- There is ongoing construction with heavy jackhammering going on for concrete repairs until end of July so lots of noise and vibration during the workday/workweek (also the exterior looks like it's undergoing a construction project)
- Smaller cons: ants on the kitchen counter so don't keep your food out, project manager was still in our airbnb cleaning at 5:30pm when we checked in (check in time is 4:30pm) but was very kind and did a great job
You may not want to stay here if you're looking to relax in the condo unit the whole time. It was fine for me and my husband since we were out most of the day, but we also didn't find out about these projects until it was too late (aka expensive) to book elsewhere. I think it'll be a great property to stay in once these projects are completed though!
