My husband and I had a great time at the Blue Hawaii, I lived in HI 23 years ago and didn't care to return to Waikiki so we decided on staying at Pat's at Punalu'u, it was a great decision as the Blue Hawaii was so clean and well equipped, it even came with snorkel equipment and a surfboard..surfing it's much harder than those guys make it look. The sunrises were amazing and we had the beach pretty much to ourselves every afternoon. I would suggest to anyone staying on this side of the island to rent a car, we drove all over the island from Halaiwa to Kailua and everywhere in between. Dining out options on this side of the island are limited so we shopped in Laie at Foodland and cooked in breakfast and dinner and usually ate out for lunch when we were on one of our many road trips. Our condo had all the necessary items to cook a meal, which saved a lot of money and who wants to eat out every meal. My husband and I loved kayaking in Kaliua, swimming with the turtles at Hanauma Bay, doing the hike up Diamond Head and visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center. Always travel with a back up camera or at least replacement batteries, you don't want to miss a thing. I would like to comment on the customer service but we never had any issues so we didn't need to call Mark..I guess that means the service was great.

Thanks for a great stay!

What we liked best about the unit was the excellant view of the ocean from the patio. The customer service from Mark,was outstanding. The very best part of our trip was my wife and renewing our marrige vows,we where married At Pearl Harbor 50 Years ago. We drove to all points of the Island,some several times.The very best was the area around from diamond head and also the north shore. We have countless pictures and video. My advice to share with others staying in this unit is to really appreciate all the beautiful photos hanging throuout the unit. Also keep in mind this building is not one of the newer condos on the Island,with the exception of a few minor repairs needed the unit was very nice. Again I will say that Mark, was my contact person and I would recommend him any day. Thank You ! William Olson.

The unit living room/kitchen area was nicely furnished, very clean, and comfortable. The beach was literally steps away and the water easily accessible.

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.

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 accommodations 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 Harbor, Sea Life Park, etc. The traffic going back to the 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 attractions 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 snorkeling right off the beach was Ok - but there are certainly better spots to do this in Oahu (namely Hanauma Bay).

The rental unit was quiet, clean and right next to the beach. I would definitely stay there again or recommend it to a friend!

The unit itself is perfect. It's deligtfully decorated and has everything you need to enjoy and relax. Be aware however that the exterior of the building is in dire need of repair and is currently under renovation. It will surprise you; but if you can get past that...well, then you will enjoy the condo.

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.

Although the construction was somewhat of a draw back, the amazing views, the beach and the adorable condo made up for it all the noise. Thanks to Mark for all his hospitality.
