Chailoh's condo was great. It was literally a home away from home tucked on the North Shore - we really felt comfortable here and allowed us to enjoy the quietness of the North Shore (away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki). Directions on getting here was easy and once inside, everything was as described. Lots of space for our family of 4.
The location of the condo to the parking was great. Very easy to get in things in and out during the day. We were able to walk down to the Turtle Bay Resort which reopened after a full remodel the same weekend we were there. That allowed us to enjoy the pool bar and restaurants (even though we weren't guests). Besides the Turtle Bay lagoon, there were other trails to some amazing beaches which was a plus. There were also a few pools in the community so our family enjoyed that when we were not at a beach!
There was a full kitchen which made it easy to make breakfast in the mornings. Lots of appliances to use as well - blender, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, oven, fridge (which was a full size fridge). Lots of beach/pool items to borrow as well which made our stay even better since the kids loved the boogie board and snorkel mask. She even had beach chairs and mats. The laundry unit was a life saver! We had already been on Oahu for 5 days so it allowed us to do some laundry during our stay and throughout the rest of our stay at Chailoh's place. It really felt like a home to us.
One last thing. The 2 outside patio were amazing. We didn't use the back patio much but it allowed us keep some of our shoes out there without any concerns. The front patio with the furniture was great. There were outside lights and once it was cool enough during the evening, it was awesome to sit and enjoy some wine/beers. We are all about outdoor living spaces so this was a great addition to the unit.
Thanks again for opening up your home to us. We all had a wonderful time.
