I want to thank the owners for letting us stay in their condo with the best views of the ocean i have ever experienced from a rental!!
But future renters should read all the reviews on air bnb before you rent this unit.
If you want amazing views and a good location for a good price and you are willing to make some sacrifices in confort, this place is for you.
The location is great, right on the water with a wonderful view. The price was reasonable. The rental was well stocked for many different activities. The owner was very responsive to concerns.
Unfortunately, the rental was VERY hot. We had the worse sleep if our two week stay in Hawaii. Given the structure of the apartment it is necessary to keep all of the ocean side doors and front door open to have sufficient cross breeze to cool down the apt. in July. We could not have privacy, security, and a cool breeze at the same time. We choose privacy and security at night but we were very hot. During the day we had all the doors open and the temperature was cooler and tolerable.
Also the apt. was not the cleanest. There was dirt on some of the sheets and in the silverware drawer. Some of the dishes and pots did not seem clean and needed to be cleaned before use.
Also the ocean is very loud which can be a blessing or curse depending on your perspective.
The view is amazing and the cost and is worth it if you are ok with the heat and some minor cleanliness issues.
P.S. the owner does seem to disparage or downplay some of the comments and reviews. This is a red flag.
