This was absolutely a beautiful location and a beautiful unit with a great view. We loved that this unit was steps from the beach and if you get up early you could find sea turtles on the beach. During the day the turtles were off shore swimming. The unit was nicely furnished and well equipped. It was very clean. The only downside was the bedroom didn’t get super cool even with the small A/C unit in it. The unit is also in a very old building but it appears that they are trying to update it. The location was great because you could be anywhere on the island in an hour or less.

We were hesitant to stay here due to some of the recent reviews, but we honestly had a great time. The check in process was smooth. The condo itself is nicely decorated with modern touches from front to back. Looking at some of the other porches in the building, this one was definitely one of the best. Some of the comments complained about the temperature, but we actually had to close the sliding door a few times due to the condo getting cold. The nice cool breeze would carry through the entire condo. At night we took advantage of the standing cooler in the bedroom, which worked perfectly for us. We had a baby and the cooler also served as a white noice for him when he slept/napped. The washer and dryer in the unit was a huge plus. We washed all our clothes before heading back home to California. We also got to meet Sandra, who was the nicest host. We chose this condo to try something new away from Honolulu, and we will be coming back! We truly enjoyed the laid back environment and the “true Hawaii” vibe on this side of the island.

It was a eyesore from the outside, but the inside made up for it. It wasn’t nosey. We had our own private beach away from tourist. Locals are on this side more which Is why I did choose to stay in this location. We loved the townhome. Very clean, pleasant there are some Ants in the kitchen. I would definitely stay here again. We left our kids boogie board, water, and kids snorkeling gear for the next family that comes. Thanks for the stay. Mahalo!

If you don’t want to read the whole review… We do not recommend this property based on the horrible sleeping conditions. No AC… unit in room is old and doesn’t cool At all. Bed is nothing more than a cheap aluminum frame platform bed from Amazon with an old mattress with a horrible topper on it. It creaks with every move. Terribly uncomfortable. Pillows are also old, flat and terrible. No extras in closet. Bedroom is on street side.. you can hear traffic all night even with closed window. You can not completely darken the room because there is a light in the hallway outside that stays on all night. We had to hang a towel on the side of the window to block the light. We ended up sleeping on the pull out couch after the first night to get a breeze and break from the street noise. Equally horrible and uncomfortable. Unit itself is clean and updated but it doesn’t make up for the horrible bed/bedroom. Unit has NO AC- hot and stuffy with no way to cool. We left a stick of butter on the counter the first night and it liquified by morning. Beautiful view and nice beach if that’s all you care about. Good location on the North Shore, but still NOT worth it. Building is old and under construction. Keep looking elsewhere.

We received last minute update that we can not park at reserved spot due to construction workers. Yes the is a huge construction of entire building and it looks they not even 50 percent done of it. They start being noisy around 7:30-8am and it starts smells gasoline in the bedroom very bad, very very very bad… imagine you wake up at gas station. It doesn’t smell in living room tho, so one of you can sleep on the couch. Another thing is that portable a/c unit don’t have a proper exhaust system so it spread the heat inside the bedroom and it feels like sauna. Also one day there was no power and no self phone service in entire building but I believe it’s a city issue however even such event never stopped the construction, If you are looking for a quiet getaway like us do not go with this.

Overall stay ok… very clean, organized and most needs taken care of.inside unit. Dishwasher broken, ice maker out of order and outside of building under construction. Most disappointing, pool was covered entire stay. Wouldn’t recommend staying here until construction is completed.

Our unit was lovely and well appointed. There is only an air condition unit in the bedroom. There are fans elsewhere. The pool was not available during our visit. It was closed Tuesday-Friday. This would be a problem if we were traveling with children. The beach is beautiful. We even saw a sea turtle! Food trucks can be found about 15 minutes north. Grocery shop on your way up.

When we arrived at the property, it was very humid inside. We found one small oscillating fan inside living area and a swamp cooler in the bedroom. The swamp cooler wasn't vented outside so it put out more heat from the back than cooling from the front. We could not sleep at night and were told to take a cool shower at night. We found a long dark hair very visible in bathtub. We don't have either long or black hair snd can't believe the housekeeper would leave that. There was ZERO soap and conditioner put by sink with no soap to wash hands. No soap (bar or liquid) in the entire unit except big bottles of bodywash. The hanging towel and washcloth were very visibly dirty. Again, how could a cleaner miss this? We took pictures of all ofvthis to document. Contacted Sandra and explained how unhappy we were and we were considering leaving. She offered us half off daily rental if we stayed. She now says that offer was if we left. She REFUSES to update her unit to include NO AC. She states that her listing doesn't include AC. so therefore her ad is accurate. The other unit in their complex that was not rented during our stay because they were honest in listing no AC! Sandra refuses to let renters know. She told us housekeeper was bringing us supplies. She brought shampoos, conditioners, lotion (opened and not brand new) and cleaning cloths, but ZERO soap! I would NOT recommend this place due to the lack of cleaning, communication and lack of basic AC. What owner tells you to take a cold shower before bed so you MIGHT NOT sweat during the night from humidity. They now are not issuing a refund. Guess I will take my photos and conversations to the credit card company to fight the price we paid without getting discount promised.

The house was in a perfect location. It was walking distance from the beach and from restaurants and a market. It fit 3 families including 2 children under 3 comfortably. Michael and Leila were quick to communicate and respond to any questions/concerns. We truly enjoyed our rare weekend together with friends and our families.

Upon arrival I thought our GPS took us to the wrong place, I thought we were at a construction site. Building is looking very tired and dated but is also under construction and should improve when this is complete in 2 years. Condo was updated and we were very pleased when we opened the door. Beautiful ocean view from the Lahaina and watched the sunrise every morning with our coffee. All kitchen was well stocked for your cooking needs. Pool was closed except for weekend due to construction. Very relaxing vacation and We would come back sometime soon I hope 🏝

Beautiful place, couldn’t have been more perfect. Turtles slept on the beach every night Beautiful sunrise from the lanai. The best shrimp truck across the street! Sandra was great. We would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our 4 day stay at this condo. Very clean, stocked with everything we could need. Easy check in. Communication with host on a couple of minor issues were handled promptly. AC in bedroom not very good but not really needed during our stay with the breeze through the unit.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful views of the sunrise!

You can't beat the semi-private beach on this property. The sunrises are beautiful. The location is away from crowded beaches. The sofa bed was inoperative but that was communicated before check in.

Pros * The condo itself was newly remodeled and beautifully decorated. * The condo was oceanfront with a beautiful view. * The location is near North Shore locations and activities. * Sea turtles can be occasionally spotted on the beach. *. 24 hour security. Cons * There is major construction taking place M-F and very noisy. There was also a strong sewer smell at the front of the building in the parking lot. * The pool was closed except for a few hour on one day we were there. We never had a chance to use it. * There is no AC except for a portable unit in the bedroom that didn’t work very well. It was very hot at night while we tried to sleep. Overall we enjoyed our stay but would probably not stay again until construction is completed. A locking screen door on the entrance door would be a great addition. We found the air flow good if we kept the balcony door and front door open.

Lovely stay. A couple of conveniences missing (for us) in the apartment, but nothing that couldn’t be overcome. Building itself a bit dowdy, but apartment terrific. Keep the windows closed and the ceiling fan on at night in the bedroom and this reduces outdoor noise. A very comfortable stay.

We loved our stay here! The unit itself and the location are AMAZING! The building as a whole is old and tired and going through a lot of construction so it wasn’t very quiet during the day. The parking lot also isn’t the best smelling as they are dealing with sewage issues. The pool was fantastic, the lawn area between the building and the beach is fantastic, and the beach is marvelous. There’s a nice offshore reef break, so the water on the beach is quite calm and safe feeling. There until itself was updated very nicely and is wonderful. If there wasn’t construction going on, it would’ve gotten all around 5 stars from me, and that is in no fault of the owner of this unit, it just is what it is. And this location on the island is wonderful, it’s far away from the larger population centers and tourist areas, so there’s less traffic, less people, and more peacefulness.

We wanted quiet and away from the crowds and beachfront... that's exactly what we found here. Sandra was excellent to work with. Few cleaning issues which she handled promptly and to our satisfaction. Don't be put off by comments about construction.. Crew was respectful, starting after 9 and quitting early. There is a/c, unlike other units in bldg, but we didn't need it...just turned on ceiling fans, opened the sliding door and bedroom windows and enjoyed the breeze. Look fwd to rtn visit.

Great stay at this condo. Beautifully decorated. Beach was nice and saw lots of turtles. Wonderful place. Only negative is the construction noise during the week.

We loved the condo unit, very clean, modern and updated and had everything we needed. I would have rated the property 5 star but the property was under constrction and the grounds need ALOT of updating! The view from the balcony was to die for with the ocean breeze, hearing the waves, overall our stay was perfect.

We had a wonderful time here, the location for us was perfect!!! Close to all that we were doing on the North Shore. We will return!!! Aloha

The beach was not crowded at all and the view was beautiful!

The condo inside was beautiful and the views and sounds of the ocean were AMAZING! There was everything you needed for the beach, just bring your own snorkel gear. Sandra was great if you needed to communicate with her. The only small down side was the bedroom was in the front and there are no blinds on the window to keep lights out and people walking by. My husband and I will be back.

If you’re looking for something more low key and away from the city, this place was amazing for that! The beach was beautiful and felt very private, overall a great place to stay!!!

Enjoyed our stay, unit had all needed amenities & parking. Loved the double recliner on the 2nd floor lanai. Did not need to use the AC in the bedroom. Unit has been nicely remodeled. The only downside is that the building is undergoing repair/structural restoration that will apparently go on for 2 more years. Two of the 4 days we were there, sounds like drills, small jackhammer went on during daytime hours after 8:30am. We left unit for day after 11am, so unsure of what occurred the rest of the day.

The condo was very nice, spacious and super clean! Amazing view anytime of day and night! We appreciated the in-unit laundry, and the well stocked fitness center which myself and my husband used daily. From the outside the condo is dated but once you get inside you will completely forget about any construction as the unit is updated and very comfortable! Some reviews mentioned the work going on but I look at it as exterior improvements taking place whether safety or decor; that's a good thing! We came from Waikiki so the energy level is much lower in the villages closest to the condo. It was actually nice to dial it down. We appreciated the country laid back feel but be aware there are no restaurants/bars that are easy to find in larger communities. Lastly, we were lucky to see the World Surf Competition at Sunset Beach about 10 miles away. The beach is a must-see for impressive wave action. Mahalo!

We have stayed at this complex several times and plan to return next year. The condo is exactly as described, well equipped (although a DVR would’ve fantastic for recording sports while you are on the beach!). Would highly recommend. Owner very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Plan on coming back next year

This was a great rental unit. The property (yard and views) were very nice. The unit is directly on the beach. The pool looked very nice, but we didn't go in. We snorkeled, but it was a bit cloudy - I think just due to the time of the year and the continuous wave. We did see the turtles when we snorkeled, which was AMAZING!! The location of this unit is about 15 miles from town (restaurants/bars), and about 15 miles heading towards the north shore. There are great pull-off beach areas on the drive North or South. We did alot of driving, all over the island and hiking. Just beautiful!! Sandra was very responsive to any questions that we had. I would definitely come back to this location if we were to visit again.

Property is old and is being renovated. This unit is wonderful. Had everything we needed.. Was so nice to sit on the lanai and overlook the beach. Checkin process was simple.

We loved our stay here and enjoyed our first trip to Hawaii. Located conveniently with access to North shore, the whole east coast, but also Waikiki. Amazing stay!

Great location, away from the busyness of the city. Right on the beach. Easy check in and out process. Sea turtles swimming right within view. This was truly a great spot. Construction was happening on the daily, so we tried to be at the condo as little as possible, which was not a problem at all.

Easy check in. Contact was very responsive.
