Great view

We really enjoyed our stay and the host was excellent. I gave a 4 on location as you drive past a large number of homeless encampments as you travel to the site. The security is excellent at the site which was much appreciated.

Off the beaten path

This place is beautiful! Right on the beach in a secured location with very few people around making for a very quiet location. The condo is perfect and the bed exceptionally comfortable. Only slightly down side is there are a lot of homeless camps in the town before you get to the condo but no one bothered us. It’s also a bit of a drive to any tourist areas but we loved the quiet, less populated location. Watching the sunset nightly was also a highlight. Very peacfeful. More than worth it!

Anniversary celebration

The place was very clean and welcoming. They had everything you need for the beach, chairs, umbrella, cooler, kids toys, etc…. Beautiful view from the patio door. Easy access to the beach. It is distant from some of the main attractions but if you like quiet and no traffic this is the place to stay

Best view in town

Went to Hawaii for the first time to celebrate my birthday with two of my best friends and we’re not disappointed! Condo was beautiful and clean! Owner is very thorough and knowledgeable, easy to work with! Be ready for a drive to get to the other end of the island but the view and beach access is worth it! Best birthday and vacation seeing the beauty of Hawaii!

Best kept secret indeed!

What a lovely, well-kept unit in a quiet building on a private cove. The beach views were amazing and the beach was deserted most of the time. The bedroom is in the street side but the waves were plenty loud enough through the open bedroom and sliding doors. It was a fantastic place for us to use as a homebase while we explored the island. Later in the week we were in Waikiki since I was participating in the Pearl Harbor Day parade that weekend. We much preferred the quiet cove!

The place itself is stunning! The decor is beautiful and the bed is comfy. Just step outside and directly onto a private beach! Every amenity of home. Parking was simple and security was a bonus! Great if you are staying in amd looking to relax. We rented a car and drove around the island daily
