Hale Lilly, Legal short term Rental.

Found some dead Cockaroaches in the Couch in the Living Room.Shower rod was broken started flickering off & on.Overall was comfortable & felt safe even w/the storm.

The condo had plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and having a full kitchen and all the comforts of home made our week in Oahu so easy. Hale Lilly is on a beautiful golf course and close to the ocean. We loved having the pool, restaurant, and other amenities right there while still being in a great location for exploring the rest of the island.

Overall, we had a great stay! The golf course views were absolutely refreshing, and it was wonderful waking up to the morning sun with the hotel deli just a one-minute drive away. The location is hard to beat on the North Shore, and the condo itself was spacious with everything we needed for our stay. There were just two small things worth mentioning. First, having lived in the U.S. before, I understood it going in, but the air conditioning was a bit noisy. Our kids slept right through it without any issue, and we adults eventually got used to it too — it reminded us of typical A/C units in the U.S. The condo has two A/C units, one in each bedroom, but none in the living room, so it did get fairly warm during the day. Since we were usually out until evening, it wasn't a major issue — we'd just open the windows wide to let it cool down when we got back. The second thing — I initially thought it was just me, but since my husband experienced the same thing, I'm fairly confident it wasn't a coincidence: we both got bitten by ticks (or a similar mite), me on my back and legs, and my husband on his back. Our daughter was unaffected. We stayed in the upstairs bedroom, so it may have just been isolated to that room, as the downstairs seemed fine. I hope these small notes don't come across as too negative — this isn't a luxury hotel in New York or LA, and we're not looking to heavily dock points for what is, after all, a condo stay in Hawaii surrounded by nature. It's the kind of thing that can happen with this type of accommodation. That said, if you're someone who's particularly sensitive to bugs or noise, it might be worth keeping in mind before booking.
