I felt the location was good especially for watching whales. It was also nice to be able to walk to a couple of restaurants and shops. I did not care for the airplane noise all day and into the night. The condo is right under the main approach to the OGG airport. Hundreds of planes a day.. When we walked in I immediately noticed the windows were not clean. You had to walk outside to get a clear view of the ocean. I felt we paid extra money for the oceanfront view and the windows should have been cleaned. Also the water heater only provided enough hot water for one shower. You have to wait in-between showers. You could solve this with low flow shower heads since you can't turn the volume down with the type of show controls installed. Also the ice maker did not work.
