There is not enough I can say about this unit, and the entire property! We have 2 teenage boys and wanted a self-contained unit with kitchen, pool and ocean view. Got all that and more. Unit was clean, all as advertised. Well equipped, pool was never busy (we stayed Oct 16-23, 2021). Not whale season yet, but listen...you can spot sea turtles from your balcony (binoculars are in the condo). We also spotted a sea ray! At around 2pm each day, you can walk down to the sandy part of the beach (not ideal for swimming but will get to that later), and huge sea turtles will come onto shore to rest for the evening. Inside the unit, close the curtains during the day to keep the sun out and at night, open the glass slats in both the front and back of the unit and let the trade winds keep you cool. There are ceiling fans and portable fans as well in the unit. No A/C is common in units like this, so as long as you are aware of this, you will not be disappointed! We spent a lot of time early morning on the balcony and ventured down to the pool to cool off and enjoy the breeze. Beaches are all public and there is a nice sandy beach just 2 minutes walk north of Mahina Surf, and many more just a 5+ minute drive south. 808 boards gave us an amazing surf lesson and their rentals are reasonable for boogie or surf boards. There were beach chairs, pool toys and a little boogie board in the condo for younger kiddoes. There is a hose at the office to rinse the sand off your things before you bring them back to the condo.
You can tell that the owners care for their unit and guests, property management takes amazing care of the premises, and everyone staying there seemed to be friendly and were mindful of the 10pm-8am quiet time (remember, all windows are open).
We loved our stay and hope to come back again!
