This was our first trip to Hawaii and we reviewed a number of places before choosing this condo, and we were extremely happy with our choice. The condo is nicely furnished with excellent views from both the front lanai overlooking the ocean and the lanai off the master bedroom looking back into the trees. Large windows provide views from all rooms, and the place really does look just like the pictures. The kitchen was well appointed with high-quality pots and pans and all the utensils you could think of. We made good use of the blender making smoothies from local fruits. The grounds around the condo were beautifully landscaped and the pool was a great delight to our children and to ourselves. It is on the third floor, and you do have to climb stairs, but that gave us even better views and only the third floor has the upper level bedroom with two queen beds. The master bedroom on the main floor has a king size bed which was very comfortable. The upper level beds were also very comfortable. The unit is not air conditioned, and I do not like the heat, but I was very comfortable as the large windows, ceiling fans and floor fans provide great air flow. Also being on the third floor helped with the air flow. The windows are fantastic and you have a wonderful view no matter where you are in the unit. We ate our meals at the dining table on the lanai facing the ocean, and I had my morning tea on the lanai off the master bedroom looking at the coconuts in the large trees surrounding the back side of the unit. There is no direct beach access, but that was not an issue. There are several local beaches, including Hanalei Bay and Anini Beach, which are just a 10 minute drive away. Hanalei Bay is a great place to take a surfing lesson , or just go for a swim and Anini beach is great for swimming or snorkeling. We were three adults and two children and there were plenty of beach items , such as chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, and beach toys for children. Snorkel gear is not provided, but we brought our own. A large food market is just 5 minutes away, where you can purchase just about anything you need. Starter supplies of dish soap, laundry soap, paper goods are provided. The washer and dryer were smallish, but very handy for beach towels (which are provided) etc. I highly recommend this place.
