*No real air conditioning. There is a portable a/c unit in the living room & a box fan. The a/c doesn't cool enough; Other than the first night, we didn't have a breeze to cool the unit; it was humid & stuffy the other four night
*The queen bed is very soft & was not comfortable
*The dryer takes a long time to dry items & the lint filter comes loose while in use & clanks around inside the dryer
*The bedroom has poor airflow so we slept on the pullout sofa nights 2-5; sofa was firmer for our backs but there was a support bar that could be felt through the sofa mattress, not ideal
*Lots of rust: tub, top of fridge and sofa frame
*The cable TV did not work; the only way to turn off the TV was to un-plug it; there were three remotes without usage instructions
*Living room seating not comfortable
*The pots & pans are not new; some are teflon coated & should be replaced due to scratches
Wooden spoons & plastic cooking spatulas are old & worn
*No toilet lid
*Only one working electrical outlet working in the kitchen area, the other two did not work
*We had to message the host to get instructions on how to pull out the sofa
*No unit "welcome/unit instructions/local things to know" binder like other VRBO condos we've rented
*No photo of actual entire building in photos to see outside of building prior to reserving
Unit has great potential, but needs improvements so that guests are not inconvenienced & uncomfortable.

This was a mixed bag but potential to be great.
Pros
- View cannot be beat. Amazing!.
- Great beach. We regularly saw turtles while snorkeling off the beach.
- Excellent property manager who is very responsive and accommodating
- Great quiet location without the 'touristy' feel (exactly what we were looking for)
Cons
- The biggest one which took away from the whole experience was the condition of the unit. A lot of rust! We understand that ocean front accommodations are hard to manage for this aspect but we have stayed at numerous oceanfront condos and never experienced this much rust. The whole top of the fridge was (my apologies to the property owners), disgusting :(. Perhaps because I am tall that it was always in clear view for me and bothered me more than it probably would to others who can't see it constantly. It was weird that a lot of items were upgraded (e.g Kitchen) while others seem to be in bad shape (e.g. bath tub/shower, lanai, etc.)
- The bedroom is pretty much unusable. Primarily because there was no airflow in the bedroom and since the unit doesn't have air-conditioning, you have to keep the window open and then you can't sleep due to noise from the road. We slept on the pull out couch in the living room, which worked okay but was not ideal.
The building is going through an upgrade (noise etc. from that was minimal and did not bother us) so hoping the unit will also get some much needed freshening up.

Condo was as expected, not super but ok. Where to park was buried in the web site. My fault only read Check In and Check out procedures. No sign in the Condo or instructions. 10:30 p.m. after parking in same place for 2 days Security knock on door, had to move right now, I was asleep. Simple fix put a sign on the wall were the house key were kept with parking instructions. Also in the Check In and Out instructions give parking instructions. Everything else was as expected.

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 6”. 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.

We enjoyed our stay! You cant beat the view in the morning. It was away from the crowds for sure but also means it was quite a drive to the nearest bar if you were wanting to have a drink in the evening. Super close to the Polynesian Cultural Center though, which we loved! Quite a bit of street noise when sleeping with windows open; we tried the hide-a-bed on the couch as suggested in other reviews so we could just hear the ocean but the mattress there was too uncomfortable.

Property is in a great location on the north side of the island. The beach I has nice sand and Little Rock’s.

If you’re looking to stay outside of Honolulu this is a great place to stay! We saw and heard the ocean every morning and evening from our balcony. Short drive to everything we wanted to do and see! We would recommend this place!

The property is secluded and very relaxing. Turtles on the beach every morning and a very relaxed vibe. We didn’t want to leave.

We had an awesome stay at Sandra’s condo, the location is perfect if you want a Oahu vacation thats all about sun, surf, vistas and have it without loads of people everywhere. Sandra went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The condo itself e gives you a quiet, relaxing surroundings and the in condo laundary is a big bonus. My advice is to make your Oahu plans to include this gem of a spot
