If you are looking for an uncrowded, tropical Hawaiian vacation, this is it! 100% recommend this rental! Amazing views (the turtles 😍) foot steps to the beach, I can’t overstate how close it is, and a fabulous grass lounge area. Remodeled kitchen and bathroom areas; two separate sink areas gave our kids their own space. Washer and dryer were a lifesaver! Tons of space for our family of 4 to spread out, even with the double bed in the living room, it was airy and spacious. We even had 4 additional guests over for dinner and still had plenty of space. Easy check in/check out. Grocery nearby saves money on eating out every night. Short drives to various north shore beaches gives guests tons of options for exploring! No AC but tons of fans and windows that allow an amazing breeze through so the temperature was totally fine. Did get a little humid at times, but nothing unbearable. Can get a little noisy because of the construction (building is having plumbing upgrades done) but honestly it didn’t bother us one bit.
Car rental is a must unless you don’t plan to leave the building during your trip. We loved the outdoor food court on they way up to Turtle Bay as well as the marketplace at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
