My favorite part of the condo were the bedrooms, the beds were very comfortable, the air conditioning was great, and we all slept like angels. The road noise was a non-issue for all of us, and we had one couple from NYC and one couple from Laguna Beach. The kitchen looks brand spanking new and has SO much room to cook which is great. I also LOVED having a washer dryer in the downstairs bathroom, and they even have a small shower in there to rinse off after the beach, so that you don't track sand everywhere. The few improvements I would recommend are: A NEW GRILL! (its so old and dirty, it was unusable) this would have elevated our experience a lot, and higher quality and more kitchen supplies (knifes are dull, pots are cheap and they only have a few). Some highlights I enjoyed were: plenty of toilet paper, laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent, and tons of condiments, shampoo and lotion in every room. Its obvious that the owners take pride in the property, and go out of their way to make it accommodating.
The community where it is located is called Puamana and its right on the beach. (Its like a one minute walk to the ocean from the condo) They have three pools and tennis courts. The grounds are beautiful, its gated, and everyone is super nice. You feel very safe and comfortable there. One of the pools is spectacular (the one on the ocean, where waves crash into the pool!), and the other two are a lot older and do not have any shade from the sun. There is a gym for $5 a day. (we never went but we really thought about it..lol). They also have tennis courts (we never played and I'm not sure if they loan racquets or if you need your own), and in the club house they have a library you can borrow from as well as a cabinet of games you can borrow. You can walk to Front street, but its a little far and I don't recommend doing it at night because the cars might not see you. We usually took Uber, which was a bit tough with being in a gated community. We had to walk on the road to meet them as you can't exit through the car gate on foot and you can't give the gate code out to anyone who is not staying there. Make sure you are on point with your parking passes, if you have any visitors and that you park in the right spots. It was overall a great vacation and we enjoyed our stay. The place is VERY new and VERY clean, and the beach there is great for surfing, paddle boarding etc. You can have these items delivered and rent them for the week. The only other thing I have to say is that I would not recommend to people with small children, because of the stairs with no railings.
