We really didn’t need the air conditioning, I think we ran it once for 15 minutes. The ceiling fans were enough to keep us comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with what we needed, the ice maker was a life saver! Loved having the washer and dryer in the unit. There was a problem with the TV and internet but we were provided the phone number of the cable company and they were able to walk me thru to a resolution. Would definitely stay there again,
The room was clean, cool and comfortable. Pat and Paul made the reservation/check in process smooth. The beach was prestige and access was easy. Take a moonlight stroll along the beach and you will find sea turtles. Overall, we were very pleased with the property.
Condo was clean, air conditioning worked great, nice comfortable bed. Paul was great, helped us when we arrived with our groceries, anytime we requested something he had it to us very quickly and the elevator is a big plus!! My husband is getting his hip replaced and the elevator made getting our luggage up to the third floor easy and whenever we went somewhere, my husband did not have to do stairs at all - beautiful grounds and beach!! Would stay there again
Friendly people and convenient pool/beach access. We enjoyed viewing the stars at night and early morning walks to see turtles on the beach. Convenient location to explore the North Shore. Comfortable place with a nice kitchen. We plan on returning soon.
we loved the stay and playing in the water
When we pulled up to the property it looks like it needs a lot of work. The person we met was very nice and helpful. The place was cute. No air conditioning in the bedroom so we slept on the Murphy bed where they had a wall unit air conditioner. View of ocean was beautiful, balcony was nice and spacious.
We had a very nice stay at this beachfront property. The condo was great and well maintained. Checking in was easy too.
First impression of building ands parking lot was not good. Building is in disrepair from years of apparent non maintenance and natural salty environment. However, maintenance and repair was currently under way. Which, of course, generates construction noise during the day. The facility is dated and shows it. Our unit was fine and as represented in the listing. It advertised largest deck on the beach but has a 42" concrete railing wall that obstructs your view of thje ocean. So sitting on deck, you can't see the ocean over over the wall railing. There is a table and four plastic chairs on the deck but they are not meant for lounging. Tnere was only one beach chair available at this unit however their manager did provide us with two new beach chairs. He was very accommodating and pleasant. The beach is incredible !! Private and great for seeing turtles. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and woujld go back to this facility but in a unit higher in the building that has an open railing to the ocean.
Overall we had a nice stay at this property. The unit was certainly not fancy, but was good for the price. We did enjoy the beach, which was uncrowded and a decent sized. We saw sea turtles every day. The balcony on this unit has a wall which limits the view from inside the property. You can only seeocean when you stand up.
To start with, all communication was excellent. The property was exactly as described, and the manager contacted me a few days before arrival to arrange to meet us upon arrival. I felt so guilty for keeping him up, as our flight was scheduled to land at 10pm. I was really impressed with how spotless the unit was. Kudos to the housekeeper! There were plenty of towels and bathroom supplies, and the kitchen was very well equipped. The air conditioning unit is very efficient, but honestly the only time we needed to use it was when a new neighbour arrived one night and didn’t quite grasp the concept yet of “country quiet”, so we had to close the windows. The rest of the time we were comfortable just by opening the bedroom and living room windows for a cross breeze. And of course the location is the best! So convenient to everywhere you might want to go, but in a peaceful environment. I would definitely book this particular unit again, and have already recommended it to friends.
Thank you! To walk out your sliding glass door and see ocean and walk out the front door and see mountain was just perfect. We comfortable slept with our 2 older teenagers and had plenty of space to relax as well. Sea Turtles every morning and evey night was the highlight of our stay. The private beach and security kept us very comfortable. The local food waa great as well
Loved waking up and seeing the ocean😊. Murphy bed was great to accommodate the 4 of us but no window coverings at all in the room led to super early mornings. Beach toys need to be replaced. No beach chairs but I left one I bought there and a couple blow ups. Overall I would stay again as such a great location and nice beach but would bring window coverings with 3M hooks if they don't get something there.
We only got to stay 4/5 nights due to flight delays but we loved every minute of this place! Turtles every morning on the beach and swimming in the waves near us was the highlight of our trip!! The Mountain views are absolutely gorgeous. Loved the food trucks down the road as well.
We are not fancy people, and this place was perfect for us! Simple and laid back!
Paul was great to meet us and show us the place and help check us out!! When (not if) we come back, we will have to stay here again! Thank you for your hospitality! Mahalo
The room was exactly as listed. The view from the lanai is stunning. Gorgeous sunrises. Walk right out to the water!
Quiet side of island was perfect for our stay.
This was a wonderful location close to Kualoa Ranch, and not too far from the north shore if you want to venture… depending on traffic. A huge perk is that it’s right on the water, at a very nice beach. It is an extremely affordable rate to be able to stay on the water. Seeing the sea turtles early in the morning was awesome. Great place!
We really enjoyed the location of this place. We knew there would be construction, we knew it was an older property, so we were happy with everything.
Although Pat’s has a security guard onsite at night and a lot of cameras,the stairs door lock was working properly
It did not feel like we stayed in a hosted vacation rental; more like a furnished apartment.
There were listing anomalies. The pool was only open 5:00-8:00 pm and it was not heated (much colder than the ocean). We only saw one group use the pool during our 15 day stay. The grills needed charcoal/lighter that we would have needed to go buy, which was something that I wasn’t interested in pursuing while on vacation. There were no beach chairs. There was toilet paper and paper towels (but we had to request more during our stay). There was a good assortment of pans/plates/bowls/utensils to cook with, but the kitchen lacked items to prepare a meal (no salt/pepper, cooking spray, foil, sugar, creamer, etc).
The cleanliness was lacking.
Our room was not ready when the property manager took us up to the room. It appeared to have been started; there were cleaning supplies on the floor, but the bed was not made and no towels. We waited for 1.5 hours, but no one came to finish. We had to contact the property manager to remind him of our unfinished place. A person did come soon after and spent 20 minutes to finish the cleaning, but it was hardly worth the pricey cleaning fee.
The entire complex was in some degree restoration giving off a depressed, haggard feeling. Seemed like it gave the owners an excuse to leave aspects of their place in need of some tlc (paint, patching, repair).
It was a centralized place to explore beautiful Oahu, but not very welcoming/restful.
Comfortable and clean. Easy beach access. Perfect accommodation when visiting Kualoa Ranch and the Cultural Center.
Did not receive entry instructions, upon arrival had to contact VRBO to contact the host. Property manager came down to meet us, said the unit had been rented the day before, and was unavailable. In fact, he was wrong, though the apartment had not been cleaned, and was not cleaned until midway through the second day of our 3 day stay. .
The property is under construction, and in not very good shape. Think lipstick on a pig. Would not recommend this place, until all refurbishment is done. Not sure why they rented this place, other than a money grab. Very disappointed.
I feel like we should get a refund on at least a days rental, or at a minimum, the cleaning fee. Perhaps VRBO will consider this request.
The property has a great location, and a good beach. The only draw back was the building is undergoing much needed outside renovations. The noise was not a problem but the pool was closed until 5pm during the week and we were not informed. It was the only negative and will be no problem by mid March. The unit was clean and everything except a kettle was in the kitchen. Would certainly stay again.
