Andrea’s description is accurate. The condo is like her pictures. The condo is clean and safe in the gated community. In the 8 nights we stayed, the beach was only busy one night. The beach had plenty of open spaces for everyone. You can also bar-b-q and borrow water sports gear at the condo. We did spend a good amount of time on the north shore. From the condo the longest drive time to anywhere on Oahu is an hour and a half. At the very least, drive the east side of the island. You wont be disappointed. I almost forgot, while in the condo we never heard anyone else like you do in a hotel. If you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing place, Andrea’s condo is a great choice. John
