Aloha Paradise
We had an amazing time in Hawaii! The house was everything we needed and wanted. It was very comfortable and the location was perfect! The views were breathtaking from both sides! We even got to see a very large sea turtle basking on the beach just outside the house. Dave sent very detailed instructions on how to check in and out, which made it very easy for us to. He also provided a list of great recommendations. I highly recommend staying here, you will not regret it!

Great large space for families
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Lots of space. When things needed attention, the host was responsive. It was located on a side of the island that allowed us to have good access to some beaches and activities we wanted to do. During our stay there was quite a bit of construction which was on the listing. While the interior of our place was great, the overall property was a little scary/run down. We were nervous when we pulled up. But the stay was still fine and we had a good trip. For the price it was a great spot and I would stay there again.

Great northward East shore location
Location at the north end of the Oahu east shore was in the middle of miles of the beautiful Koolau Range, but without all of the snarly traffic lines and density of the North Shore. The condo building (Pat’s) seems to be one of very few larger buildings around so you get some bigger building advantage without having nothing but other bigs to block your view. This unit with lanais to ocean and mountain was very clean, functional and comfortable. With the tradewinds, we never came close to turning on the AC units. Had some questions about operating the smart TV/cable set up; the property manager got on the phone on Saturday night to answer questions, and followed up with an in person “just to make sure your happy” the next day.There are several food truck, non-chain prepared food places, short drives north and south, and a very decent Tamuras market (produce and liquor was covered). We were undisturbed by some rejuvenation work during the week work hours in other parts of the Pat’s site. Looks like lots and lots of things have already been done in this unit and the site. One reserved parking spot right by the building worked great.

Great place to stay right on the BEACH!!!
I loved everything about this property other than one bed in the upstairs bedroom. The queen bed in the bedroom with the bunk beds needs replaced. The air conditioner in that room also needs to be better secured other than that the place had everything we ever needed. Thanks for a great family trip.

Large and comfortable--direct ocean view
The unit is a penthouse, two-story with stairs. Pictures are accurate. Rooms are large, beds were comfortable and kitchen was well-stocked and everything worked with the exception of the front door lock instructions, but management responded immediately. Three balconies (one mountain, two ocean), lots of beach toys and tons of towels. Management is responsive. Great location for a mini family reunion! We saw turtles up the beach and monk seal right out front (we immediately exited the water, they are very endangered). This area is beautiful and a wonderful break from the travel and crowds of Honolulu.

Fantastic Host
The view was to die for, host was very responsive when needed and gave great advise on things to do around the area. The building is under renovation, but don't let this stop you, we were not bothered by noise or anything from it. Beds were comfortable and great space. There was plenty of snorkeling gear, lawn chairs, a cooler, towels for the beach all at are fingertips that they provided. The only thing I would say is that the kitchen pans need to be updated and that the couch is not very comfortable to sit on. It is on the North Side of the Island so you do end up doing a lot of driving to get to things.
We would book here again!

The perfect Island experience
The location was perfect. Right on the beach and a local vibe. Beautiful views and plenty of space. With a large group of teens, there was everything we wanted to do close by, and we took the bus that stopped right there. Delicious food within walking. And we even got to see turtles on the beach! It was a special time for all of us. There was some construction going on, but it wasn’t loud and disruptive during our visit. I would definitely come back.

Place should be demolished
Absolutely dicey location. Lock was broken on child’s room which someone from opposing balcony could access. Yes they offered to repair.
Other children’s room had a curtain over open window. Building maybe under construction but it’s in an awful area of town, entire building should be condemned. Awful shape. This is not safe place for a family to stay. Total bait and switch. We left after day two because it was unsafe for us to be there with four kids. Scary area. We booked another place in north shore.. true north shore. This place is a dumpster fire! Do not stay here!!!!

The location and view are 5 stars with recent updates to the bathrooms (like new). The construction that is going on at the location is the only reason my overall rating wasn't a 5. That said we were gone most of the time so not really a factor at all. It is a 1975 structure so a little dated but overall we loved our stay and would return again (great value).

Great Location Under Construction
The location was perfect. It would take an average of 45 fast minutes to any part of island. I would have given all 5 stars but it was under construction on one end and a pipe was broken so we did not have water for 24 hrs. Appliances need to be upgraded like the microwave. The gym had some good equipment but they also need upgrade and working machines. To sum up this place could be a jewel on the island!

Fabulous property, great host
If for no other reason, stay here for views. It doesn’t matter if you love mountains or ocean views. This condo has both. This property was terrific for our group of 5 adults. Enough space and sitting room for all of us. David was great at responding quickly and concisely. The setting is rural so you don’t have the city lights and noise. Beach and pool are right outside your door.
