Wonderful property in an exclusive gated neighborhood!! The best part of the property is the location and access to the exclusive Pauoa Beach Club. Nice community pool and private pool, and steps away from the beach. Get a massage in the private Beach Club Hale Table, so nice. Owners provide everything to enjoy the beach (umbrella, chairs, snorkel, boogie boards, and rafts). Pauoa Beach/Fairmont Orchid is rather crowded and they do not allow umbrellas. The beach at Mauna Lani has chairs and cabanas, only a 10 min golf cart ride away. Better snorkeling at Mauna Lani beach.
If you use Fairmont beach do it early or late, wonderful sunset! Many weddings/events at the Fairmont which squished all the beach goers into a small space, this happens daily. The Fairmont does have a nice bar Cabana however and an exclusive feel.
The house is clean and spacious, every amenity is available. A bit light on bath towel and beach towel provisions, we did a lot of towel laundry. The only cons were the hot tub does not get very hot or stay hot... This was a disappointment. The property manager is helpful and scheduled other home maintenance around our schedule while we stayed for two weeks. Hot tub is not broken, but just does not stay hot, likely due to energy ideals. The rain showers are fabulous!
Exclusive neighborhood and area, golf cart is perfect for access to golf courses, beaches, and shopping. No cart access roads to the Wakoloa queens/kings area with better shopping, but a short car ride away as you need to use hwy 19.
This fabulous home is the "small" home of the subdivision, most of the other homes are even more amazing if you can believe that.
Thank you Kia and Chris for a wonderful hosting.
