We loved the property and the easy access to the beach. Turtles visit frequently, which makes for a fun experience. The only downfall to this property is the hour drive to downtown and most tourist attractions. If you plan to spend most of your time on the North Shore, this is the perfect location.
Property was exactly as advertised in terms of location and proximity to the beach. Property needs to be cleaned and have furniture and TV replaced. Furniture is old and lumpy. Overall property needs some TLC. You need to compare the check-in instructions you receive when you book to the instructions you receive prior to arrival as they differ. Second set of instruction were accurate in terms of being able to access the unit. Property Manager was immediately available via phone to help.
This property is in a great location, right on the beach and close to all kinds of great food and hikes. Sandra was very helpful and responsive, and the apartment was in great condition!
The unit was dirty on arrival. The A/C was not working well, missing windowpane in the bathroom and torn screen made keeping the place cool nearly impossible. Impossible to keep flying insects out of the unit with missing window glass and missing screens. There was dirt and dust on the torn bathroom screen at least 1/16 inch thick in which you could write your name. Lamp in living room with broken switch making it unusable. Mattress on the bed is TERRIBLE, worn out and does not provide any support. I did not get a single night's decent sleep in the entire week we were there. The A/C vent tube was loose and leaking air, the window slats to which it is attached did not close properly. Drip pans on the stove top burners were rusted and dirty with old dirty tin foil covering them. The tub/shower did not drain leaving dirty standing water in the tub for after showering. All metal surfaces in the bathroom including tub & sink faucets are rusting. Overall, the conditions of this unit was completely unacceptable.
The building is very old and is not appealing from the outside. It has been under construction for 1+ yrs with at least 1 more year to go. The pool was closed the entire time due to construction! With that said, the inside has been updated and is pretty nice with an excellent view. We saw turtles every day. Note there are no BBQ's :(
Sandra (prop mgr) was awesome and very helpful!
Mixed feelings about it. Rooms were clean. Living room/kitchen fine. However the bedroom was not big enough for the queen-size bed. Not enough space to squeeze past the foot of the bed just to get into the bed just 6â. The bed was up against the wall on the other side.So after the first night we moved the mattress to the living room and slept on the floor! The bathroom had two issues: toilet was so low it was almost like a squatty potty; the shower had NO grab bar if one slipped.
The appliances were good and everything else was fine.
Sleeping quarters were unacceptable. One side of bed is against the wall and one person has to climb over the other to get out. Location is great and access to beach is great. Bathroom could use upgrade. Place was clean
It was so great. The bed was so comfortable and the pull out couch was an easy way to have another bed. The balcony looking over the ocean was so peaceful. It was a fun spot to sit and read in the morning. Checking in was super easy and Sandra responded quickly to my questions. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for the great place to stay!!
This was a wonderful and affordable place to stay on OÊ»ahuâs North Shore. While the building is older, itâs well maintained and offers a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere that feels like classic Hawaii.The highlight is definitely the beachâcalm, uncrowded, and perfect for kids. The waves break far out, leaving the shoreline waters tranquil for swimming or just relaxing in the sun. Itâs also a great home base, with many of OÊ»ahuâs scenic spots and cultural attractions just a short drive away.The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a generous living area, full kitchen, and plenty of room to stretch out. There was an ample supply of towels, sheets, and even beach towels provided. The beach chairs were a great and appreciated surprise. One downside is that the bedroom faces the highway, and you can hear cars passing by throughout the night. This obviously isn't in the owners control, but something to consider. We ended up sleeping on the pullout couch facing the ocean, which actually made for a great nightâs rest with the sound of the waves, and a peaceful morning waking up to a beautiful sunrise and coffee on the lanai.Security is very good, and the property feels safe and welcoming. If youâre looking for a budget-friendly, beachfront stay that gives you a taste of local life away from the big resorts, this is a great value. Weâd definitely come back!
We enjoyed our stay. Everything was good except the construction noise in the mornings and the muddy parking lot. (It had been raining a lot). We would recommend this place.
We enjoyed the beach in front of the property. The bed was way too soft, the sofa bed was better. Be aware that the bedroom has no door, it is more of a nook. The floor in the appartment was not clean. Maybe because of the construction workers. They painted the balcony ceiling during our stay. One day when we came back the front door was open (we have locked it when we went out). We assume that the workers came in through the balcony door which we did have closed but not locked. After that we made sure we locked both doors. Overall we had a good stay and loved the North shore
Wir hatten leider das Pech, das gerade direkt vor unserem Balkon ĂŒber uns Bauarbeiten stattfanden. Der LĂ€rm ging leider morgens um 8:30 Uhr los. Daher war der Ausblick getrĂŒbt von GerĂŒst und Baumaterial. Sehr gut fanden wir die Reaktion des Vermieters der uns entsprechend auch einen Nachlass freiwillig gewĂ€hrte.Im Inserat wird erwĂ€hnt, es handelt sich um einen neu renovierte Wohnung, dies entspricht nicht meiner Auffassung da, wenn ĂŒberhaupt der Boden erneuert wurde. Das Bett war so weich und durch gehĂ€ngt, dass wir auf dem auszieht Sofa schlafen mussten. FĂŒr mich leider nicht weiter zu empfehlen. Ohne die gute Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin hĂ€tte ich nur einen Punkt vergeben.
Everything thing was good, the bed was a little soft. The location was great as we had most of our activities on the north shore. We would stay there again.
Neighborhood: Sketchy. The property overall was dirty and appeared to be in decay. Upon arrival, it was challenging to find the lockbox. Upon entering the property, we could see that it had not been cleaned. It looked as if someone had been eating something in the messy bed. We weren't sure if the specs of debris we were seeing were crumbs or bed-bugs... There were sheets in the washing machine that had not been washed. There was scaffolding outside, blocking the ocean view, as well as loud construction going on. When I contacted the property manager, they said the cleaning people had stepped out, but would be right back. This was almost 5pm. We were tired from our flight and driving to the property. It did not look as nice as the photos. NOT BY A LONG SHOT. I stated that this was unacceptable. TOTAL RIP off. Avoid at all costs... We were there to attend a wedding, and had to find last minute lodging, that was much more expensive. But... we weren't about to stay at this deplorable property. Paid over $1500.00 for 4 nights, and was only able to get a $175. refund. Live and learn...
I'm so excited to share this with you! The condo was fantastic, we slept with all the windows open, It was just awesome! The only downside was that there was no coffee or tea, and we couldn't find any nearby. (I wasn't looking for a Starbucks, just any coffee). Luckily, we stumbled upon the "Bald Guy" food truck and their amazing cold brew blew us away!
