"Royal Hawaiian Beach Front Luxury 314"

Guest Rating:

This place was the definitely the nicest rental condo I have stayed in! It was clean, quiet and had a very warm feel! My family was very comfortable and we had a wonderful time. The view is amazing and the beach was perfect for swimming and snorkeling. There are not too many restaurants available in the immediate area, but it is not too far from Haleiwa to drive to have a nice dinner. There are two grocery stores in the area as well that have everything you need to eat in at the condo. I would recommend this to anyone who does not want to stay in Honolulu and would like to have a nice quiet vacation.

After reading the description and viewing the photos of this condo, I was really looking forward to actually staying there. Having completed the trip now, I cannot express how exceptional my stay was. The condo has all of the upscale amenities listed (HD home theater system, stainless steel appliances, etc) but it also has conveniences that add to the luxury. A remote control operated AC system and ceiling fans and lights with adjustable level switches help keep the temperature comfortable. A fully stocked kitchen (blender, toaster, serving dishes, BBQ grill utensils, etc) make it easy to save money on dining out. The bathroom vanity and shower each have a glass shelf to make room for multiple guest's toiletries. The main bedroom has a memory foam mattress topper and was free of any sinking spots -- I have a Select Comfort Sleep Number bed at home, and I didn't even notice the difference between the two. There were several books to choose from as well as about 20 DVDs with popular movie titles and each television has a DVD player. I did not utilize the DVD collection as the view from the lanai and the beach front access were breath taking. The continental shelf breaks about 300 yards from the beach so the change in the color of the water is gorgeous. It also breaks the waves, so the beach is safe for children and is relaxing and easy when floating on a raft. The front door has a privacy deadbolt that locks automatically so that provides added security -- something I appreciated as a single 23 year old female vacationing alone (but be aware that if you leave the condo without your keys to take a look at the weather or grab something from the car...the deadbolt will lock itself automatically after about 30-60 seconds). The parking spot is right across from the elevator so it makes trips with luggage much easier. The elevator is accessed with a FOB, so that provides added security. The high speed internet access was very convenient, but mildly sketchy (video conferencing on Skype was only successful for about 30 seconds before it timed out -- regular internet browsing was more than capable though). The washer and dryer in the unit are excellent, high-efficiency machines (the dryer takes a while though, 2+ hours for a load of towels, so time it accordingly). I considered the location to be very convenient -- 45 minutes from Honolulu and about 45 minutes to Haleiwa on the North Shore. I went to the west shore just to see what it was about, it took an hour and it was a wasted trip -- the beach is full of tent and tarp communities and the beach is lined with large rocks, making the breaks and surf mildly dangerous for kids or inexperienced swimmers. Its also about 12 minutes from the Polynesian Cultural Center - something you definitely want to check out (I was there right before Halloween and they had a haunted lagoon exhibit, so I would imagine they rotate it out to include new exhibits regularly). I would also recommend driving past Haleiwa to the Kaena Point State Park -- I had rented a Jeep and there's a little route to offroad into the park. It takes you right along the beach and has little tangents that lead to packed sand hills that make great parking spots with great views and great sun. Since the condo is located on the windward side of the island, shortly after 12 noon the clouds come over the mountain and block the sun. The state park has a huge beach as well as the offroad sand hills that are always sunny and windy to keep sunbathers cool. The condo was an excellent place to come back to every day and it made it that more enjoyable. Book your stay in this condo now, because I will definitely be coming back and I might steal your dates! Enjoy!

We had a great time!!
The apartment was beautiful, I don't think I'll ever want to stay in a hotel again. The beach is amazing and so private, no crowds to deal with. Neighbours were quiet and everyone was friendly. I've already sent your link to a friend that's interested, and I know we would love to come back next year.
Thanks for everything!!
