The condo is updated and has everything you could need to a beach vacation. The bad was very comfortable. The views are amazing. The beach was not crowded and was wonderful. Exactly what my wife and I wanted for our Honeymoon.

Say nothing more!! What an amazing place to stay in Oahu!! We loved every bit of it!! Thank you thank you thank You!!

What a beautiful place to spend our second honeymoon! Tess, thank you for graciously opening up your lovely home to us. We couldn’t find a more perfect place to stay on the west side. It was comfortable, tastefully decorated, and stocked with everything a person could need on a vacation - and more! From the breathtaking view of the ocean, to the hypnotic sound of the waves gently lapping on the shore right below the window, every moment is enjoyable and relaxing. The entire condo was recently redecorated. Everything is new, cheerful and spotless. I felt so relaxed and safe here, it will be hard to leave. Thank you Tess and Ashlee, for a wonderful, relaxing few days. I wish it had been longer. But we cherished every moment and have already sent the listing on to several friends and family members. Bless you both and Mahalo! Mary and Steve

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The condo was fully stocked on any kind of beach toy, chair, tent, etc. that you could imagine. There was even a cart with sand wheels which made getting stuff to and from the beach a breeze. The condo was beautifully decorated and very clean. It was also stocked with full sets of dishes, pots, pans and even casarole dishes! Tess thought of every detail! My only disappointment was that the porch swing in the pictures when we initially rented the place wasn't actually there when we arrived. We had been looking forward to watching the ocean from the porch swing. Still, we loved the place and found it perfect for our getaway.

A paradise!!Would highly recommend this place for those who enjoy beach like I do!! I’m from Miami but nothing can be compared to the beaches in Hawaii.We stayed at Tess’s place for 3 days and enjoyed every minute of our stay!The apartment is beautiful and equipped with everything you might need during your stay!The kitchen is a dream!!Loved the comfortable bed and pillows!And a view from the lanai is one in a million!!Would stay there drinking my morning coffee forever watching the waves... Thank you Tess for a piece of paradise!

If you crave peace and natural beauty, this is it! But if you need entitlement and a manicured world around you for miles, maybe keep looking.We drove out of the busy city craziness to the real people, and then this slice of heaven! We walked into the condo and it glowed with the sunset all around. Absolutely sparkled! Very roomy and comfortable with everything you could need. Loved this particular unit with the wrap-around lanai. Check-in was a breeze with the very funny (and knowledgeable) Wendell. The condo, the beach, the view...all spectacular! Snorkeled with turtles, octopus, eel, barracuda (WOW), and many many other beauties. The local people are very kind and generous. We loved watching their antics and skill at the beach, and how they congregate to celebrate family and community together all up and down their beautiful beaches. After a long winter for us, this was soothing to our souls! Tess was great to communicate with and beyond generous! Can't thank you enough, and hope to come back. Our only regret was not staying here for much, MUCH LONGER. We will continue "to live in a state of thankfulness." Mahalo indeed, Tess!!!

My wife, daughter and I spent 8 days in Tess' wonderful apartment, and had one of the greatest vacations any of us can remember. The apartment is about 40-45 minutes outside of Honolulu, so if you're one of those people who really wants to be at packed beaches, in the middle of the city, walking distance, etc, great, good for you, go to Waikiki. For those folks who like to make their own vacation experiences, this place is an absolute gem and I can't help but recommend it highly to anyone who's thinking of visiting Oahu. From the secluded beach (saw five turtles, one octopus and roughly a million fish while snorkeling) to the local restaurants, to the beautiful leeward coast drive, the joys of staying here were a highlight of the trip for my family. And the apartment is phenomenal - a wraparound balcony, wonderful kitchen setup, a closet so comprehensively stocked that we really could have just travelled with a toothbrush and a couple pairs of clothes. It's safe, clean and you could have a fantastic vacation if all you did was travel to the nearby beach and back. We found it served as a great staging point for our trips around the island as well, and had great fun going from place to place coming back to our beloved apartment. We received a lovely call from Tess making sure we were all taken care of, and I think that Wendell, one of the security staff, gave us one of the most entertaining/hilarious check-ins I have ever had staying away from home. We will fondly remember our time here at Tess' apartment, and my wife and I would both absolutely love to come back if the opportunity arises. My daughter loved it even more - she found out that there was a unit in the building for sale and she wanted to buy it. She's six.

The corner unit here really is the one to pick. The wrap-around lanai made a huge difference in managing the sandy boogie boards, wet shoes, etc. It also makes the view one unbroken panorama. It's easy to imagine you are the only people around when sitting out to watch the sunrise or sunset. The location is off the tourist track so be prepared to stock up on groceries and hang out and do NOTHING but sit on the beach and your lanai and soak up the sun and salty air. The condo is incredibly well-stocked and included everything we could possibly need. My kids loved it too and are hoping we can return soon. Mahalo and Merry Christmas!
