Why would anybody waste money at an overpriced resort when you can live like a pampered local? The lanai here is amazing, we drank our morning coffee (and later, pau hana drinks) everyday with the awesome view of crashing waves and Banyans surfers. Never gets old. The kitchen is fully stocked, there's a wine fridge. Central air works well and is key to being comfortable during the humid summer. There are thoughtful extras like beach chairs, an umbrella, and coolers. The washer/dryer in the condo means you can pack lighter. Free covered parking space. Highly recommended for a family of 3-4 or even two couples. Walking distance to Da Poke Shack. Down the street from Magic Sands and Kahalu'u beaches. Mahalo!
