Hale Kai is in a terrific location on the north shore, 1/2 mile from a wonderful snorkeling spot and beach at the Turtle Bay Resort, with close proximity to shrimp trucks to the east, Ted's Bakery to the west, and famous surfing beaches with impressive surf.
Upon our arrival, the condo had not been cleaned properly since the last guests were there, and needed a thorough, deep cleaning. Also, some minor repairs were in order. Our host, Jennifer, was receptive to our concerns and took prompt action to remedy the major issues in less than 24 hours, for which we were very grateful. She was pleasant and professional and a pleasure to work with during our stay.
The space and price are a good value for a couple with smaller or younger children or college students, but left a few things to be desired for four adults. The upstairs loft doesn't have closet access or dressers for use for clothes, and the ceiling is low on one side, too, so it's not a good space for taller individuals or most adults.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the location, and Jennifer was an excellent communicator and host!
