What I liked about the unit I rented was the beautiful ocean view from the lanai. It was also nice to have a pool too. The snorkeling was also very good and the beach was kid friendly. The bedroom was somewhat noisy, but overall this was a nice place to stay.

Very nicely decorated condo with just about everything you need to make a great vacation in Hawaii. The beach was very kid friendly and the pool a nice extra as well - although you don't really need the pool. The accomodations were perfect for our family of 4 (our two kids, 8 and 5, slept on the sleeper sofa). The condo complex was very quiet so we had no issues with any noisy neighbors or being able to go to bed early. Even if the unit had AC we would not have needed it (in April). Although we think a first aid kit would have been a good addition (we couldn't find one). Also - be sure to know that checkout is at 10:00 AM! - We thought for some reason it was noon like most condo arrangements and were caught off guard a bit. We came to Punaluu to avoid the busy Waikiki area. However we still wanted to visit some of the main attractions, so the drive was at least an hour to Diamond head, Pear Harbour, Sea Life Park, etc. The traffic going back to teh condo was a bit rough from 3:30 pm until about 5:30pm. Although it was only a few minutes to the Poly. Cultural Center and of course the north shore atttractions are not that far away either. There is grocery shopping within a few miles plus a gas station, etc. We saved a lot of money buy eating in - the kitchen was adequately equipped with newer appliances. During the late afternoon swims we always saw sea turtles which was exciting for us. The snorkleling right off the beach was Ok - but there are certainly better spots to do this in Oahu (namely Hanauma Bay).
the sliding door was stuck and very hard to open, along with the front screen door, and the blinds were off track. Other than that, it was nice, except the balcony wall cutting off the view since it is all concrete. We did lots of driving and exploring the island.
Lovely flat, well furnished and with beautiful Photo taken by the owner. The location is perfect and just in front of the beach... My wife and I spent wonderful times there. The owner is also very friendly and will provide you with the best tips in order to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
