Updated Oceanfront Condo! Long clean beaches to walk & swim! Escape the Crowds!

The description was accurate. The property is clean and well maintained. The beach is beautiful. The location is fantastic. We will be back!

This place is about 45 mins outside of Honolulu but it's so peaceful and serene here, away from all the crowds. The unit is tastefully decorated with a lovely ocean view! The sun comes up in view from the patio, though I suggest walking out to the beach. We saw about a dozen sea turtles throughout our week stay, some beached. Beach towels, loungers, cooler & kickboard provided which was more helpful than you'd think. Be sure to walk down to Aloha Shrimp. Very tasty!!

The construction going on right in front of our patio was not good. Not being able to use pool until 5 pm was not good

Apt was indeed upgraded. Clean, tidy with all of the required amenities to spend most of our time at the apt. The grass/beach area was good. Gym on ground floor with beach view was a bonus. A full moon meant lots of turtles coming onto the beach at night. Also, easy to find turtles to swim with. Apt is equipped with snorkel mask, beach chairs, boogie boards and beach towels. The building is on the main road through the area so a bit of road noise when trying to sleep, but not too bad. Bed is king and comfortable. Do check about construction in the building before you book as extensive work is being done. Overall a good stay over 2 weeks

The unit was tastefully decorated and renovated. Out of the 7 days we stayed there were jack hammers, drilling, and pounding from 9-5 for 4 full days right outside our unit. In addition, scaffling was just outside our unit with workers going up and down during the day. The pool was not available during the day when the construction workers were on site for safety reasons. There were 2 days that we did not have internet access and 1 day that there was no power, so cooking in the unit was not an option. In addition to no power, there were no flashlights or candles in the unit. This was not what I expected when I booked the unit and no warning was given that construction was going on at all. There is good security on site and a lovely private beach to enjoy. The host was responsive, but did not seem to appear to be that familiar with the unit or situation. However, for what I paid to stay in this unit, I am definitely disappoint because I did not receive value for my dollar. Once the building is renovated, I am sure it will be lovely, but I am not interested in returning.

This condo is a dream! Yes it’s in an older building, yes there is no A/C but the view and the private beach make it more than I could have imagined. We happened to be here when there was not much wind but adding a few fans fixed that problem. We spent our days sitting next to sea turtles on the beach and soaking up the sun. We will definitely be staying here again!

Prior to arrival received a message from the property manager Sandra, reference an issue due to the ongoing construction. They were extremely apologetic and understood our concerns. They took care of our needs without hesitation and to our satisfaction. The condo was beautifully decorated and updated. There was everything you would need and want for your vacation including beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, snorkel gear and coolers. The location was perfectly located within short drives to the North Shore and tons of beaches along with plenty of food trucks with amazing food. The view was amazing and getting up to watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee makes the perfect start to the day. We were able to see tons of sea turtles in the evening as they would come to the beach and spend the night there. There was a great breeze that kept the condo comfortable as long as you left the front door open or the window in the bedroom. The cooling unit in the bedroom helped keep the room comfortable for sleeping but doesn't cool it down like actual a/c but that was perfect for us. There are only a few things that weren't great for us. 1st, the outside light in the bedroom window is bright and the blind doesn't help darken the room so it is very bright at night. 2nd, the bed was not as comfortable as hoped and seems unlevel as it settles when you get in and move around. Overall, a great place to stay and great communication! Will definitely stay again!

As frequent visitors to the islands, our family is experienced with Vrbo rentals — and we all agreed that this condo ranks at the top of our list. What we liked: • Condo was clean, modern and tasteful. Kitchen has new appliances; bathroom is updated and has a nice step-in shower. A big-screen TV is set up to access all the main streaming services. There is even an in-unit washer/dryer which was very convenient. • Perfect location on Oahu, offering easy access to stores, food trucks, sightseeing opportunities and activities, but far enough away from Honolulu to have a rural feel. • There is a swimming pool, with limited hours when we were there, but so infrequently used that there was never a problem having it to ourselves. • On temperature control inside, we found the best bet was to open the windows/sliding door and let the breeze do its job! What we loved: • Beach access was the best we’ve ever had from a Hawaii rental. Literally right outside our door, the beach was never crowded and essentially functioned as a private beach. It’s a nice one, too, offering calm water for snorkeling and swimming. • Watching the sunrise from the lanai was absolutely the best! To acknowledge the construction issue: We didn’t find it to be a problem at all. Yes, there is a section of the building that clearly is being renovated, and construction vehicles and workers are present, but this did not affect our visit in the slightest way. We would definitely stay here again!

This is the only side of the island that I want to stay on. It’s beautiful. At Pat’s at Punaluu the back is the Mountain View and the front is the beautiful ocean. The condo is decorated beautifully and we spent a large portion of our time on the balcony. We would stay here again.

If you are looking for a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu, this is your place! The inside of the condo is nicely designed with updated furniture and is very comfortable. It did get warm in the evenings at times, but it was very safe (there's security onsite) and we slept with the A/C unit on and the sliding glass door open. I even slept on the patio one night listening to the waves crash in. No white noise app needed to get to sleep that evening! :) We were able to meet the property manager, Sandra, and she was helpful and attentive. My husband, son and I enjoyed it so much -- we can't wait to go again! Some days, we practically had the beach to ourselves. Highly recommend!
