The condo was in an excellent location. Mary has thought of everything a guest could possibly want or need while staying in Hawaii. The apartment has been completely remodeled and was very clean (minus the abundance of termites which are scheduled for an extermination soon). The necessities for cooking were all provided and also beach chairs, coolers, towels, bikes with helmets and locks. The bed was on the firmer side but still comfortable. The washer/dryer were small but adequate for us. The bedroom side does face the busy street so there was street noise all night long, but not loud enough to bother us. The back side of the apartment faces the parking lot so not much ambiance other than eating your breakfast in the sunshine. There is a short walk to a swimming pool and large boulders at the water's edge. The soft sandy beaches are close by and easy to get to using either car or bikes. The pictures don't do it justice-overall a very comfortable and nice place to stay if you are looking for a place close to shops, restaurants, and beaches.
