It was a pleasure to stay at this location. The unit itself was very clean and having a washer and dryer within the condominium itself was extremely convenient. We stayed in January and could see whales from the lanai every day. The central (south shore) location gave us easy access to both Waimea canyon and the North Shore. There is a beautiful trail that runs all along the coast at your doorstep (Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail). There are many dining and shopping options close buy but it's no problem venturing further out. The people at Oceanfront Realty were great. We especially appreciated the emergency after hours team that retrieved our keys after we accidentally locked ourselves out of our unit one evening. Communication by phone or e-mail was easy and their people were always extremely friendly and helpful. My one recommendation would be to stock up on groceries at the larger grocery stores in Lihue if coming from the airport although there are some local markets close buy the unit.
