We had a fun time...the unit was well equipped in the kitchen. It's near the pool and the tennis courts. The free Wi-Fi was great. The shower is kind of tight in the loft. There is no sofabed in the living room so we tried to pump up the aerobed (extra bed) and the pump did not work. Other than that, we loved the unit.
Condo was clean and well appointed. Great service and no issues. Would go back there. Some small ants and insects but we kept food in the fridge and it was fine. Would go back.
Great condo with lots of unadvertised "extras" (beach towels, body boards). We checked in on a Sunday and it went like clockwork picking up the keys from the security guard. My only caveat is that the loft bathroom shower and sink is not really usable by most adults or teenagers -- you need to be under 5' and even then the shower head is low.
this particular unit has everything you need. We were able used the boogie boards and the surfboard and beach chairs. Also, it has several beach towels, although we brought our own. We would have used the beach towels in the unit if we knew they were there to save the room in our luggage. Also, the next door neighbors are very nice and actually live there. Excellent choice of units.
We really enjoyed our stay. Great unit and location on the North Shore!
I would have liked a little more counter space in the bathroom and better lighting. The upstairs was perfect for my younger kids, but adults should know that you have to "duck" to get into the bathroom. Once in you, are okay. Still, this is one of the nicest units I have stayed in.
a few burnt out light bulbs need to be replaced
It's a beautiful condo. Great floor plan. Kids loved the loft(with its own tv and vcr). Beautiful kitchen and bath on the main floor. I would suggest getting a large pot for boiling pasta. The pool was conveniently located and we all enjoyed it.
I have stayed at this unit for three years in a row and like it very much. The decor is great and very "Hawaiian". My only minor complaint is that there were ants everywhere! But I think it is the same at all the Condos! I will be back next year!
We loved the convenience of the location- central to all activities on the North Shore and only a few minutes drive on the freeway/highways to get to such places as Dole Pineapple plantation, Polynesian cultural Center, even the U.S.Arizona monument.
For the price this condo is in a fantastic location and perfect set-up for a family of four (kids 5 and 8 yrs) but could use some updating/sprucing up. Screen door to the deck was always coming off the track, seating on deck very uncomfortable for enjoying time out there, master bedroom could use some drapes that keep out street lights and morning sun BUT we were there mostly just to sleep and the beach supplies were great for our kids. We had an amazing vacation with the location, layout of the unit but it could use a little TLC.
We like the location and the furnishings very much. The clothes washing machine was broken and could not get repaired during our stay. We wanted to stay 3 nights but management couldn't get housekeeping to turn the condo around the same day so we only stayed 2 nights. Seems like there could be more efficiency in that regard especially since there are a large number of units managed there.
overall a great property. Owners have it well equipped for the beach and extra bedding. The only problems we had were that the phone did not work and the dishwasher detergent dispenser would not open during a washing cycle. We didn't contact anyone about these issues as we managed anyways.
We found out the A/C unit had died just before the guest arrived. The condos require a special A/C. and they have to be ordered from the mainland. Unfortunately, they take 3 weeks to get here. The new A/C will be installed the beginning of July.
