We pretty much use Airbnb for all of our travel these days. It's common to expect certain things, but typically the units have this but not much more. This rental is different, you can tell it's not just a rental but the owners really care about their place. We really felt at home here, at one point we bought some local steamed pork buns. We figured we would have to create a make shift steamer basket. But it turns out the rental had one. I know you might be thinking, who rents a place for a steamer basket. Your right no one does, but it does show you that this condo has just about anything you might need. It has all the big expected items, but then it has so much more. Pamela is super responsive, she even allowed us to ship a few items ahead of time to the rental.
The location is great, it is off a kind of busy road. We found that the unit was angled in a way that we never heard the traffic, but we also had a great breeze the whole time that mostly we just heard palm trees blowing in the wind. It was super comfortable there, the breeze blew through the whole house, it was quite amazing actually. Honest highlight to our trip. I can see that if the trade winds died down and it was a hot day, having no AC or breeze could make the unit uncomfortable. Based on what I know of Hawaii that is an exception not what is normal.
Walk to the beach, the walk to the beach is 10-15 minutes. The walk to the beach though is stunning and enjoyable on it's own. It was easy and safe to get to.
Side note we stayed here with our 16 month old son. The condo was very kid friendly, better than most Airbnb's we have stayed at. The beach that was within walking distance was kid friendly also, there was also a playground at that beach.
Pamela truly deserves more than 5 stars for her place.
