The condo is part of a complex with a friendly community vibe -- we sat on the lanai most mornings and evenings and watched kids playing and geckos running around. The landscaping is very well maintained with a variety of plants and colors, and lots of flowers (at least when we were there in early May).
The kitchen is very well stocked with cookware and appliances, and a few essentials like cooking oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt/pepper, which was super convenient.
The A/C in the bedroom works very well, and there's a nice cross breezes if you leave both sets of screen doors open, so we were never too hot unless we wanted to be.
We ended up renting our own snorkels for a better fit on fins, but there are a couple of snorkel sets already there if they happen to fit you.
One of the most unexpected and fun parts of our stay was discovering the shore birds that nest on the bluff across the street (at the south end of Kamaole III), which make haunting howling noises at night, starting around dusk.
Would definitely stay here again!
