This place was really homey. The view off the balcony was breath taking. We ate all our meals on the balcony while we watched turtles go by,whales breaching and we even had a monk seal come into the bay.
If you prefer to be a bit off the beaten path, as we do, this is the place to stay. The condo is right on the beach and in the little town of Waianae, not touristy at all, but with all you would need; Food, the ocean breeze, the beach and super nice people. Exactly as we expected :)

Although this property had not been updated, it had everything I needed. There was even a card table for me to do my puzzles. I thought it was a little bit dark, could have used a lighter paint job. I enjoyed my stay there.The owner answered in a timely manner when I had problems with the television. Would have liked to have had a DVR, because I donât like to watch live television.
The condo was nice and clean, with amazing view of ocean and beach from balcony, we were able to see whales, dolphins and turtles from our balcony. Everything you need is in the condo, ie: snorkel gear, beach chairs, boogy boards, even binoculars.
The owner was very easy going nice guy, we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Thank you Paul!
We really enjoyed our stay in the well appointed condo! The view from our balcony was exceptional! Very quiet neighbors.
The beach in front of the complex is so mellow! There were very few people on the beach during the week. We enjoyed the locals on the weekends. We had fun snorkeling, and boogie boarding! We saw many honu during our stay! Swam with them many times! The local market a couple miles down the road suited our needs, although Costco, and Safeway aren't too far away. We enjoyed the more laid back Makaha.
The only thing negative that I can contribute, is that we couldn't stay longer! Definitely will come again!
8th out of 9th floor so great sea breeze. Very private. Only one next-door neighbor and youâll never see or hear them. Easy place to snorkel and always have turtles.
