Having been to the island before, I knew exactly what I was looking to rent and this was the place. Not have many reviews always concerns me but as a real estate agent, I know how to look up property records and saw the owner had just purchased the unit in the last month and has other properties with good reviews. Let me tell you this property is all that the description describes. Just after my flight arrived, Roger txt me and reconfirmed all the entry details including how to turn on the hot water heater & air conditioning. Electricity on the island is expensive so renting from a responsible owner who is energy conservationist is appreciated.
Why do I want to be here? I can walk to the shopping area. Queens Market is just across the way. It has a variety of places to eat plus a market that is a mini grocery store. Granted, I do go to town and always shop at Target once I land but for little stuff, it's quick and easy. The ABC market has pretty good sushi, a hot breakfast, lunch, dinner and there is a deli too.
As for enjoying the island's weather, I've enjoyed the condo's pool with chairs always available. A couple areas are good for shade and you better be looking for shade or apply copious amounts of sunscreen otherwise you will get sunburned very quickly. If you're more of a beachgoer, then walk on down to the beach but don't let 5 miles stop you from going to my favorite beach in the world! Hapuna Beach is a state park that cost $5 to park all day. Great sand and easy parking for a short walk and I've never seen it crowded either.
I'll be back and stay at Roger's place again!
