Clean condo and quiet

The condo is very clean and quiet. There are a few things that need to be addressed by owner/property manager. I sent my concerns to them first as I believe they should know ahead of others. These are MY concerns: There are only 2 washcloths and towels per bathroom- needs more. AC only goes to 74. Mismatched coffee mugs - all novelty mugs = cheap. No ironing board. Towel bar fell off wall twice. Refrigerator smelled bad. We had to buy baking soda to combat smell. Good location To magic sands beach. A few miles to town.

Hawaii Trip including Pearl Harbor

We really enjoyed the property, cleanliness and location. However, our interaction with the property host was not good. We were sent a text on our check in day that the washer wasn't working and would be repaired the next day. I subsequently tried to reach the host (various ways) and only got one text response saying they thought that they had responded and that they were trying to get a repair part. This was the 3rd day of our stay and we didn't hear back the rest of the stay regarding the broken washer. We were there for 8 days. This lack of communication was disappointing. If not for this, I would definitely book this location again.

Just as advertised

Condo was exactly as pictured on the website. Everything one would need to cook and eat was available. Chairs in living room were comfortable. Mattress was great. Slept good on it. AC was real handy; especially after coming in from the beach. Beach couldn't have been much easier to get to. Umbrella and beach chairs were great for the beach trips. Good view of the ocean from the lanai. Covered parking was nice for keeping the rental car cool. Short drive to town and grocery stores.

Great Family Vacation

The condo was exactly as listed and even better in person. The furniture and finishes were clean and modern. The location, while not beach front, was just a short walk down the drive way to Magic Sands beach. The view from the lanai was lovely and a surprising plus was the beautiful plumeria tree right in front of the lanai. We would absolutely book again if available for our next visit.

Relaxing Stay

Unit is very close to the elevator and on the second floor. The lanai is set up as an extra living area and is totally private because of its location. Beds were comfortable but watch out for toes on the bed legs. Kitchen was nicely set up. There are beach items for your use. The beach is down at the bottom of the steep entrance to the complex. Great restaurant on the beach

Great spot

We chose this condo because it had two king beds and two bathroom's. It looked just like the pictures. It is right across the street from magic sands beach,which we loved, and had all the beach accessories you could need. If we return to the big island we will definitely stay here again. 1 thing to be aware of is the bathroom doors are slated and not solid so not much in the sense of privacy. You can't see in, but you can hear everything. A little awkward if you're traveling with friends.

Beautiful condo

Condo unit was lovely. Impressed with the cleanliness of the property and how well prepared it was for guests. There were beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear and boogie boards for our use. I would have preferred twin beds in the second bedroom instead of 1 King bed. There was no pull out couch either. It was more suitable for 2 couples then family of four with adult children.
