Pat’s is currently undertaking renovations & spalling repairs, this work, which is expected to last until late 2024, will take place only during business hours & not on the weekends, but can produce VERY LOUD intermittent noise that will be heard in surrounding areas. You will want to be out and about during these times or at the beach. We have discounted the nightly rate significantly to reflect this.

Great place and great location. The condo has everything you need and the host is excellent at communicating the check-in and out process and even suggested things to do and places to go around here. Great snorkling spot and right at a beautiful beach.
sunrises!

We've stayed at other units at Pat's at Punaluu but this was our favorite. It seemed larger than the other units. Very clean. Great view. Loved the cross breeze when we had the front door and balcony slider open. Well-equipped kitchen. Comfortable king bed in the bedroom with ceiling fan and light. There were also other portable fans. We used the tower fan in the living room but with the breeze we didn't really need it. The pullout couch was a bit of a canoe so we slept on the mattress on the floor and that worked out well. No-contact check-in was fast and easy. Good off-street parking. Overall, a wonderful stay. Thanks!

This place was amazing - well stocked with lots of towels, fans, linens, beach/snorkel gear, kitchen utensils and even some condiments. The attention to detail made this place feel like home.
Being here in August, the lack of AC was a non-issue because of the beautiful ocean winds. Though multiple fans were provided if needed.
The views … omg the views!!!! Palm trees and the quiet sandy beach with breath-taking sunrises directly from the sofa bed on one side and the lush rolling, Jurassic park mountains on the other side - just heavenly!
My only complaint would be the sofa bed - it was not comfortable at all. In spite of this though, we still fought over the sofa bed because of the sound of waves all night, the soothing breeze and the gorgeous morning sunrises from it.
We used the gear provided to snorkel for the first time and were able to see turtles on the ocean floor!!! Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We also came across many turtles swimming in the waters and a turtle on the beach on one of our morning walks. To have such easy access to nature right in our backyard made for great memories.
There is lots of forewarning about the construction occurring around the building and though we were worried, we were not bothered by it one bit. We were either out of the house or on the beach during the construction times. Though for anyone with young, napping children it could be an issue.
We would rent this unit again in a heartbeat! Mahalo 🌈🌴☀️

Love that it’s away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, that it has its own beach and that you can see the sea turtles in the morning. Great experience

We had a nice stay at Pat's. Beautiful place on the beach. The construction work wasn't too troubling. The breeze through the condo was fine, except at night when most necessary, but the road noise was too much with the window open. The "highway" is on Aloha time so plan events accordingly. Keep an eye out for turtles from your deck as you take in the day. Thanks for a great stay!

My wife and I absolutely loved staying at this beautiful condo. It would be difficult to find something wrong with it. The large living room and bedroom were great. The kitchen was very clean and well stocked. I was concerned beforehand about the lack of A/C but that turned out to not be an issue at all. Yes we were there in April when the highest temperature was only 82, but the evenings and mornings were cool and comfortable. If someone was to stay in July or August it might be a different story then. Anytime we were there we used the lanai screen and the front door screen and with the trade winds blowing in from the ocean it was very nice and cool inside.
Undoubtedly the star of the show for this condo is the gorgeous ocean view from the lanai. I don’t know where you would find a better one. Quite honestly, the view was the main reason I picked this room. The second best reason to stay here is the closeness of the ocean. It’s literally just a few steps away. I loved walking the beach in the morning taking sunrise photos. The sunrises were beyond spectacular!! I snorkeled several times, and it was good. I didn’t see a ton of fish but the ones I saw were cool. The water in the morning is more calm than the evening. I would recommend snorkeling or swimming in the morning.
If we were ever to go back to ‘Oahu we would definitely stay here in room 714 again. In fact I wouldn’t even consider staying anywhere else on this side of the island.

The owner of this property is awesome, she gave us so much great information, and was beyond thorough, and the property, absolutely loved it, the view was amazing, you cannot get a better view, absolutely uncrowded, the people there were so nice, the condo itself was very well furnished, super clean, very spacious, well laid out, bed was very comfortable, as for the construction on site, we had no issues with that whatsoever, matter-of-fact we were taking the trash out and one of the construction workers was very nice and said oh let me get that for you, absolutely loved it

The beach was beautiful, the turtles were amazing to see on the beach but you have to get up early:). The wind was a bit much. Wish the weather could have been a little better but obviously the host had no control over that.

This is an ideal base for exploring all of Oahu. Well away from the city crowds of Honolulu, this northeast coastal area just feels very Hawaiian.

During our Oahu trip we stayed at two locations.. This being our first stop. This place is a bit rustic and could use an update throughout but overall our favourite place to stay. Would book again for sure.
5.0 / 5.0
Clean and as described in listing. View was spectacular. Kids did not like the pull out couch mattress, so slept on the couch and chaise lounge and then were happy. On the windward side of the island so very windy. Beach was small but good. Construction noise was significant but was well described in the listing. We hadn’t planned to be there much during the day, but had a sick kid one day so had to stay in, and that was rough with the noise. No AC so windows open at night and then temp in the unit was very nice, but road noise was super load all night even with earplugs. Will look for quieter option next time

We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations and location. The beach was right outside and the area was very quiet. The construction was manageable and did not interfere with our stay, our host was a gem and so helpful. She responded to everything in a very timely manner. We enjoyed the beach accessories and there were plenty of towels. We would definitely stay here again. The gym was nice as well. Condo is clean and organized. All necessities for cooking, cleaning are available. Food and stores are very close by with lots of selection.

We had the best time staying in the condo which was a bit bigger than I expected. I would definitely come back and stay again!

The unit was cozy and clean. The manager responded quickly with questions or concerns. The beach was beautiful. We knew construction was happening with the building but the downside was that it was happening at the unit next to us, so we were unable to use the lanai during the day.
5.0 / 5.0
This location is fabulous. It is right on the beach and the 7th floor apartment with a balcony gave us a great view of the beach and turtles swimming in the ocean. Excellent food trucks are nearby. There is a beautiful view of the mountains from the front door. Would definitely stay here again.

This is an old building undergoing major renovation to both individual units and the exterior superstructure.
The renovation appears to have started several years ago and continues M-F from 8a to 4p. There is significant noise from the work efforts, large vibration, jack hammer, and general work noise.
The pool is closed M-F until 5p, and you may have to get security to unlock the pool.
The units don't have AirCon, and it is not really needed when you open unit road side facing windows or door. Excellent cross wind most of the time. My unit has ceiling fans which keeps great circulation. However if you have to close up do to noise or smell, unit gets warm and stuffy very fast.
There is significant road noise, as you are right on main road Rt 83. During the day not a major issue, but at night with bedroom on road side and windows open, you hear every car going by. This can be very disturbing. The window needs to be open at night to keep fresh cool air flow.
There is a beautiful beach with soft white sand and easy access from the back green space.
The green space has a number of lounge chairs, not enough for whole building, but people are good about sharing.
There are many miles of beach and park within walking and easy drive, many options and types.
5.0 / 5.0
Quiet, except for some building work which was not too intrusive, well equipped and comfortable. Fabulous to be able to go straight in the ocean in the morning.

This was a nice, comfortable, and spacious condo, with a separate bedroom and full-sized kitchen. Also a large living area. If I picked up on it from reviews, I had forgotten it had no air conditioning - until I walked in and began to look for the thermostat. First day was a bit tough, as it was a mostly rainy day, so much wetter air coming in. After that, we began to understand which way the wind was blowing in morning and evening, so took advantage of it. Since the bedroom (with a very comfortable bed, by the way) is on the street side of the unit, we couldn't take advantage of the breeze while sleeping because of car noise. So we turned both fans on and left windows open until just before getting in bed.
Other than that, though, it was a very pleasant stay. Hearing the ocean constantly in the living room and kitchen was soothing. Wi-Fi was good. Washer is very noisy when running, but it does a great job. (Just telling you that so it won't shock you.)
Barbara was great at communicating quickly. We did our own cooking for dinner, which was even more relaxing - not needing to drive the roads again. But we could go to any number of beaches and parks up and down the coast (away from the city hustle on the other side of the island), or just stay and play on the beach at the condo during the day.
It was a very nice visit for us.

We stayed at this VRBO property for three nights in mid-October. It is very well located for exploring the North Shore of Oahu and visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center. The property is on a beautiful beach and there are wonderful views of the Pacific Ocean, the reefs offshore, and sunrises in the morning. The mountains are right behind the building and add more spectacular views. Our unit was very well stocked with everything we needed.

Our situation was a bit abnormal. A few days leading up to our stay, the owner let us know that because of the renovations outside, our balcony would not be accessible. She offered to refund us or give us a discount. Because we were so close to our visit, there weren't other options in our price point, so we opted for the discount. She was very accommodating in getting a portable ac unit since we couldn't depend on the breeze from the sliding door. She reached out the day we were arriving to tell us that the facility workers were now scheduled to work on our unit beginning a few days into our stay. The workers needed to be in the unit and work throughout the day. Obviously, this was not ideal. The owner was able to secure one of the cottages on property for us to move to for the remainder of our stay. So again, not what one would want to deal with while on vacation but the owner was very accommodating and wanted to make things right. My family still had a wonderful time and we are thankful she was doing her best to make our trip as smooth as possible. The space worked well for our family of four.

While we knew the building was undergoing repairs, we were not aware the entire 5th floor and railing were gone/removed. The heavy smell of mold was present from the bed and couch. I personally killed 6 cockroaches. But dozens more smaller ones were present in the kitchen sink and on the range each morning. The unit is advertised as being renovated. But the refrigerator is 10 yrs old, the rusty range looked at least that old, and so did the couch. Which begs the question, Exactly when was that renovation?
5.0 / 5.0
While the building renovations provided some unexpected challenges and we were unable to open the lanai door, the unit itself was wonderful, so well equipped. Barbara has thought of everything! We absolutely loved the location, and views from the backside of the condo were as spectacular as the ocean views.
This is absolutely NOT the place if you want nightlife and fine dining, but if you are looking for a step back in time to older days gone by, solitude, natural beauty an abundance of mom & pop stores and food trucks, it’s perfect!
We fell in love with the North Shore and we hope to return someday and see this place in its full glory when all renovations are complete.

Notified in advance about construction at the property. With three options. Cancel with refund, continue with reservation and get a 30% refund, or owner would pay the difference for a unit away from construction area. We said go with unit away from construction area. Received communication the day before arrival retracting her offer for the other unit. Leaving us with only option to cancel or accept 30%discount and keep the reservation with a statement that construction was ahead of schedule, no work being done near her unit along with very little noise. Elected to retain the unit at discounted price. Woke up first morning to two construction workers removing rebar from her balcony. No curtains in unit. Workers had full view of inside of unit while grinding and cutting in balcony during our full stay. Sent pictures to owners, of workers on lift while working on balcony. Owner has not contacted us or given us the refunded the discount. Not a good experience with this owner or unit.

We loved this location and will plan to stay here in the future. The manager (Tisha) was responsive and helpful. Beach is right out the front door, bed was comfortable, and the unit was clean. Great experience!

Complex under construction. No lanai , no access through slidingdoor even for fresh air. Constant loud construction noise. No pool acess from 8:30 to 6 pm.
Manager promised half our cost refund, hopefully that will be true!

Location was good. Beach was wonderful. Building is really falling apart though. Literally whole side of building looks like it fell off. Lots of construction is going on which was described to us right away. Honest construction was fine accept they would take our spots leaving barely anywhere to park. This place only has a portable ac unit so bedroom is hot even with fans. And you can't open window because there's lots of highway noise at night. Kitchen is equipped nicely. Refrigerator looks a little rusted but works properly. There is some beach stuff there. Chairs, some noodles, and a couple boogie boards. Overall, it was worth it because the beach rocks there and checkin is very smooth.

It is right on the beach and away from the crowds. Couldn’t have been more perfect!

One look out the window and you know you are in paradise.. if you are looking for high end luxury this is not for you. If you are looking for a trip away on your schedule this is the place. Close enough to anything that you can be there in 45 minutes yet private enough you don’t have to share with too many others. You can live like a local

Condo is located over fantastic beach and snorkeling bay. Major construction happening on condo but wasn't an issue. Condo bath and kitchen were both clean and comfortable. Suggest doing something about the bed - it unfortunately was a backbreaker for me.

The condo itself was decent, but the building is quite a construction zone, if we new that before hand we would have stayed somewhere else. It looks to be a multi year project.

Great stay with our 2 teenage boys for Christmas. You need a car to get around, but that is what we always do so we can go to different places each day. No AC, but you don't need it with the ocean breezes, slightly lower temps than Honolulu, and the way the unit faces. Temps were 24/25C during day and 19/20C at night, 68-78F. North shore, great food trucks, grocery store, etc, all short drives away. Shaved ice, fruit stand, small market across the street. All without the noise, traffic, sirens, and craziness of Waikiki. Also way better beaches on west and north shores than Waikiki, without the crowds. Construction was occurring but didn't really bother us since we were usually gone during the day. Also if you like turtles, we saw turtles every day. Swam with them and they often lie on the beach for night. Can see 1 or 2 lying on beach from balcony sometimes. Went for a beach walk one evening after dark and saw 10 turtles sleeping on the beach.
Check in was easy, great views, beach gear ready to use, neighbors all really friendly, great property. This was our 5th time in Hawaii, and the East side is our favorite area.

Renting was easy....but not everything was disclosed regarding construction. Noise went on all day. Heard it in our room and also at beach. Parking very limited. Elevators used by construction workers. Had to wait a long time for it. Only one of the two elevator working. Was told that construction work would be finished in August. Today is Nov. 11th and work still going on. Would love to come back but only after all construction work is finished. Room was very nice. View was fantastic and saw many turtles on the beach.Our experience was not as we had hoped for though.

Construction noises interrupted our last day. The description online stated the construction would be completed August 2022, and it is the end of Sept which was disappointing. Also, there was no mention of no air conditioning. The condo itself was lovely, clean and a contact person was available and communicated in a speedy manner. The view was breathtaking and the swimming/ snorkeling & turtle viewing was spectacular!

It was easy to find. You have a wonderful sunrise view of the beach every morning. There’s a security guard on site. Nice breeze throughout the condo and comfortable bed! We saw a sea turtle the first day! It was calm, relaxing and quiet! There is some construction during the week but it was still pretty quiet in the condo and on the beach. Still plenty of parking despite the construction as well. Highly recommend!
