The property was extremely clean and we were pleasantly surprised by the diversity and number of additional amenities available for our use. From an extremely generous supply of extra towels to surf boards, snorkeling gear, and a wide spectrum of kitchen appliances, most of which appeared to be new. Our stay was truly excellent.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is in a perfect, quiet location. Right next to the Makai Golf Course with a lot of areas to walk. The rental comes with everything you need and it's incredibly spacious. The unit could use a good carpet cleaning and I think the dryer might be on it's last leg as it wouldn't heat up very well.

Our family of six stayed here for a week, wish we could have stayed longer. The condo had everything we needed, the beds were comfy and had lots of beach gear. Boogie boards, chairs and cooler. The vacuum in the garage was super useful to have. The sand in our car got to be a bit much. We love this community has a great pool and is nice and quiet.

Cockroach infestation. Didn’t have access to home for 3 hours while exterminator sprayed but still had cockroaches after spraying. Home needs repairs- big gapping hole in kitchen. Shower and sink upstairs very slow draining. Lanai is on loud busy road. We have stayed in this complex before and it was beautiful. I do not recommend this unit to anyone.

Great condo extremely roomy and comfortable for a family of six adults. Tight getting two rental cars parked in the garage and no other areas to park overnight. A couple of minor fixes are needed- patio door slider needs work as well as master shower door. But had a great stay here - and yes would rent this condo again for a large group.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 4 (two daughters 8 and 12) had a lovely time. The condo was spacious, clean and well maintained and the process with the rental company was seamless. The location was central with a scenic walking path down to the 1 Hotel where we would enjoy the beach from time to time. The condo was accomodating and well stocked. The pool area was also quite nice and we made good use of the grills. The AC was necessary in August when it could be quite hot and humid. We would definitely recommend and rent again.

Interior layout is open and spacious. Bedrooms have plenty of room, though the "twin bed" room's bathroom is a bit small. The room makes up for it with an outside balcony which my daughter loved. Laundry room is good size with modern regular sized washer/dryer...definately a plus. Plenty of beach towels (and bathroom towels) supplied. Lots of closet space in the bedrooms, especially the master bedroom and adjacent bedroom. Kitchen has modern amenities, utensils and cabinet space. Didn't use any of the TVs in the bedrooms, so don't know if they worked. Main TV in the living room worked well. Wifi is a bit slow, but above average. A/C works great. Neighborhood is fantastic for taking walks. Beautiful scenery abounds... No problems with the lockbox or garage lock (once we figured them out). The condo configuration makes pulling in and out of the garage somewhat tricky, especially if you have an SUV. Overall, a great experience. Enjoy your stay...

Very nice. Liked all the beach gear and bikes in the garage although we didn’t get to use them as much as I wanted. The hose by the garage was really nice. I wish they had a little smaller cooler. The medium-large size wouldn’t fit in our altima rental (too tall). We picked up one at Foodland. Inside we could only find 2 kitchen towels, but maybe we just couldn’t find them.

Beautiful accommodations. This condo was spotless, well kept, easy to access, and had fantastic amenities. My family can’t wait to book this property again!

Nice proximity to the awesome pool (it's right next to it) made this a wonderful spot for us, since we'd spend a lot of time there when not at the beach. Big grills and a kitchen area by the pool for making food came in really handy. Big condo with plenty of room for a family. Having 2.5 bathrooms was great for getting everyone ready in a reasonable amount of time. Clean place with plenty of extra sheets and pillows for everyone.

Great location close to Foodland at Princeville Center, and 15 beautiful minutes from Hanalei….very well appointed, spacious condo, many meals outside on the balcony with a great view of the waterfall gardens across the road. Bonus to find lots of games and puzzles keeping us entertained well into many evenings😄 Thanks for the great space!

awesome location, check in, parking (garage), amenities (beach supplies - and every kitchen item you'd ever need), great beds, bathrooms and balcony. Decor -honestly - looks a cheesy in the pictures but it is truly niche and so well done. So much relaxation here.

Condo is beautiful and very roomy, there was plenty of space for our family of 6. Plenty of amenities. Cons - there is limited parking in this resort. Owners jeep is parked in the garage, so this made parking our big SUV very challenging, but we got it after few tries. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this condo.
