We really enjoyed our stay here. First off, the location of the complex can’t be beat. You would be hard pressed to find a better location on the island. The complex is literally steps away from the beach. Because there isn’t a lot of public parking close to this beach, it feels like it is a semi-private beach. There were a few times we were out there and we were literally the only ones on the beach. If you have stayed on Oahu before and know how busy the beaches are, you know how rare this is. And having such easy access to the beach, especially with young children, was priceless for us!
We really loved the condo complex. The grounds of the complex are absolutely beautiful! There is a koi pond going through the complex, and a lot of trees with birds constantly singing. The complex is very safe; you need a key to get in to the grounds, and they have security patrolling the area. The complex is next door to a nice little resort with a dolphin lagoon, so we enjoyed walking next door to see the dolphins. The location of the condo is great, not just because of its proximity to the beach, but also because of being close to Kahala mall, as well as Waikiki and downtown Honolulu, so you have access to many different restaurants and activities.
The condo itself is very spacious. It is well equipped, and it was so nice having a washer and dryer in the unit. It was great having televisions in both of the bedrooms, as well as two separate bathrooms and showers. The owner Marc knew that we were bringing our young boys with us, so he tried to move most of the breakable items out of the way, which made our stay less stressful. He was always very quick to respond any time we had any questions for him.
We did receive one noise complaint on our second day there from the neighbors downstairs about our boys making noise. But after we talked to our boys about not being too loud we didn’t receive any more complaints. So note that if you are bringing young children you probably won’t want to let them be too rambunctious during your stay, but that is probably something you would have to keep in mind while staying at any condominium if you have anyone living underneath you. Our boys were so tired from the beach each day that it wasn’t too hard to keep them quiet while we were in the condo!
