Michael's place was perfect for us. Clean, super comfy, quiet, great location, and affordable. The unit has pretty much everything you need to cook and go to the beach. There were lots of extra towels, bath and beach, which was awesome. The in unit W/D was so awesome to have.
The condo unit overall was really quiet. You are off the main highway and can't hear traffic noise from the lanai at all, or see it. The pool is right below you, but people observed the pool hours and it was fine. Every morning most people came out to watch the sun rise, but they were quiet and respectful. The view is amazing.
We didn't have a designated parking spot in the parking lot, but we were still able to park on a back street (no real traffic) with no problem each day.
There is no AC, but this was not an issue for us. Because it's a third floor unit, we left patio glass doors open and with that and windows open there was always a breeze blowing through. Plus ceiling fans in both bedrooms and living room, and a floor fan in one bedroom. It was so amazing to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the waves crashing.
For us the location is perfect. We love to head to all parts of the island on our stay and Kapa'a is centrally located, so makes it really easy to get to whichever part of the island. The traffic in Kapa'a is stop and go a few times of the day. This doesn't matter to us . . . we are on vacation and on Hawaiian Time . . just unroll your windows and enjoy the warm, moist air.
Michael was a great host with very prompt responses and communication. Whatever cleaning staff he uses does a great job and the place was super clean.
We would absolutely stay there again.
