We enjoyed our stay! You cant beat the view in the morning. It was away from the crowds for sure but also means it was quite a drive to the nearest bar if you were wanting to have a drink in the evening. Super close to the Polynesian Cultural Center though, which we loved! Quite a bit of street noise when sleeping with windows open; we tried the hide-a-bed on the couch as suggested in other reviews so we could just hear the ocean but the mattress there was too uncomfortable.

Property is in a great location on the north side of the island. The beach I has nice sand and Little Rock’s.

If you’re looking to stay outside of Honolulu this is a great place to stay! We saw and heard the ocean every morning and evening from our balcony. Short drive to everything we wanted to do and see! We would recommend this place!

The property is secluded and very relaxing. Turtles on the beach every morning and a very relaxed vibe. We didn’t want to leave.

We had an awesome stay at Sandra’s condo, the location is perfect if you want a Oahu vacation thats all about sun, surf, vistas and have it without loads of people everywhere. Sandra went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The condo itself e gives you a quiet, relaxing surroundings and the in condo laundary is a big bonus. My advice is to make your Oahu plans to include this gem of a spot

This property is in a great location, right on the beach and close to all kinds of great food and hikes. Sandra was very helpful and responsive, and the apartment was in great condition!

The building is very old and is not appealing from the outside. It has been under construction for 1+ yrs with at least 1 more year to go. The pool was closed the entire time due to construction! With that said, the inside has been updated and is pretty nice with an excellent view. We saw turtles every day. Note there are no BBQ's :(
Sandra (prop mgr) was awesome and very helpful!

We had a small glitch checking in but Sandra was amazing and immediately rectified the problem. We had a wonderful time. It was clean and very accommodating with everything that you would need for a prolonged stay. The most beautiful sunrise greeted us every morning from the lanai that overlooked the beach. Very picturesque! We loved every moment spent there and will definitely return! Easy check in and out✔️

Had everything we needed. Really appreciated the 2 beach chairs and laundry. Glad for all the construction for someday, it will again be a lovely property. Lots of privacy. Slept in the livingroom with the ocean sounds. Not enough parking spaces for condos such as this. Received warning tickets when had to park in another space. Didn’t want to park on the street at night. Thank you for a special place to celebrate part of our 50th anniversary!

We arrived tired and weary....the condo unit was exactly as described. Checkin instructions were all as described in the email that we received from VRBO. The unit was efficient, and had everything that we needed. The maintenance crew at the building was really nice and totally mindful of our needs despite facility maintenance that was being done.
We woke every morning with ocean breezes and sipped AM coffee overlooking the Pacific, just before going for a walk along the beach thereafter. I would definitely go back here again.

We enjoyed our stay especially on being at the north shore. Place was perfect for 2-3 people. We slept on the pullout couch since we preferred ocean over traffic. Construction didn’t bother us. It got smelly with the septic system but I still go back and spend another week in a heartbeat

Beautiful views from the balcony. You can watch the sunrise from the living room if you wanted. My favorite part was being able to come and go to the beach. No need to drive a few miles to the beach and feel obligated to stay. The private beach was never crowded. Usually 10-15 people out there. My husband and I enjoyed snorkeling everyday! We came in March and were able to watch whales playing in the ocean from the balcony. We loved our stay and I would stay there again!!

We were not told about the major construction that was going on. When we got to the property and got to the elevator, and the doors opened, it looks like we’re in a construction site, all plywood dirty, and just not very welcoming. Between the road noise and the ocean there was not much sleeping, it was hot and stuffy if you close the windows and if you had them open, it was like a hurricane overall we had a bed and a shower which I guess is what you need but if you’re looking for a lovely nice vacation don’t go here. The place is a mess . There was not a single useful thing in the kitchen no salt and pepper and there’s no restaurants nearby except for one. I know that’s not the fault of the property owner because of Covid it has wrecked the island. And to make things worse my husband was checking around and come to find out the reason why they’re replacing all the balconies starting on the right hand side of the building is because they have the same issue that happened in Florida where the building collapsed, per a construction worker that was on site. And lastly the, and I use the term loosely, bedroom was not a full room the queen bed took up the whole space wall-to-wall and you had to scooch down to the end of the bed to get out which is really not easy when you’re in your late 60s. To the owner I’m really sorry for the bad review but I really don’t want someone else to go there and ruin their vacation. You should just be upfront with people and let them know.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. We spent the days out and about so we were only at the condo in the mornings and evenings. The condo had everything we needed and any concerns or issues were addressed with great communication. The condo was comfortable and check in and check out for really easy. The ocean view was an added bonus to view every morning and night.

Great view and beautiful sunrises. The unit is what is shown and described on the listing. Exterior construction at Pat's limited parking so much that finding a spot in the evening after visiting other parts of Oahu was a challenge. Also, because of the construction, the pool was unavailable. Walks along the beach are great --- look for the turtles, but stay your distance. Again, you are paying for the view and sunrises!

I managed to score this property vs. stay in one of two hotels in the area, and I'm so glad I did! The view with the balcony and the full kitchen made it worth it right there. I admittedly run hot so was worried about being comfortable, but I slept on the pull-out couch (surprisingly comfortable) with the sliding glass door open & the fan on me, and I was fine. The basics are all there (dishes, coffee maker, pots/pans, etc.) as well as conveniences like a couple beach chairs! I had snorkeling stuff with me & I'm glad I did since I saw THREE turtles! There is indeed work going on in the building but I don't remember hearing it before 7:30 AM when I left for a conference, and it was done by 4 or 5 every day. Great communication with Sandy. I feel so fortunate that I was able to stay here, and I look forward to returning!

Great location on the island, away from all the crowd in Honolulu, beautiful beach, beautiful view, and nice ocean side landscaping. They are repairing the building and parking can be difficult. Overall, we had a great experience.

What we liked about this condo was the view, how it was decorated, and Sandra was a really good communicator.
Our biggest issue with this proprety is that you can't swim there. I did check with Sandra before we reserved, and she said it was safe to swim there due to the reef which was true, however it wasn't safe due to portuguese man o' wars. Unforntunately I found that out during a swim, where I was stung across my face, both arms, my right hand, and left leg.
We hadn't walked the beach yet, I just went for a swim, like I had planned to do each morning. If we had walked we would have seen that the beach was litterd with portuguese man o' wars, all over.
We talked with employees from the building and they said that people get stung all the time in winter. I would have liked that information before we rented this condo. Also, since this happens often, it would be great if the condo itself had vinegar on hand, since that is the antidote for the stings.
We weren't though surprised that there was no vinegar in the condo though, as in general, the condo was insufficiently supplied. There was no pepper in the pepper shaker, and such a small amount of salt, that that ran out during our stay. In general we found that things we expected to be provided, not to be provided. I could give a more detailed list, but you get the point.

A perfect apartment for two, comfortably and attractively furnished, clean and well kept. We spent most of our time on the balcony with its beautiful view or on the sandy beach, a great place to swim.

The place is small but cute. Really a studio because there is no door to the ‘bedroom”. Wonderful view of the ocean from the 5th floor. Sandra was wonderful and very attentive to our concerns. The biggest issue is the building is under major construction. The pool was unavailable during the day which was disappointing. Once the remodel is complete I would consider staying here again.

After very hectic months of work and personal commitments, we planned a quiet 5-day vacation on beach and at pool that this property advertised.
What we got during our 5-days was a fabulous beach with jack hammers starting at 8:00 AM; pool closure due to construction debris; poor parking due to construction equipment; patched building walls (from falling concrete); and construction crews constantly occupying elevators and walk ways. We tried to take all that in stride and just spent more time away as the crew finished work at 5 PM. However, the last straw and ultimately our poor rating, was that on our last day, we walked out to see "asbestos tape" crisscrossed across the adjacent neighbor door, with blowers pushing air as we pulled our suitcases through the walkway.
We were not informed that the building was "under significant renovation;" that the pool would be closed; or that there would be noise. If it wasn't for the grandiose view and comfortable amenities, they would have gotten an even lower score.

Check in was easy, the condo is renovated and clean, and the view was beautiful. There is heavy construction throughout the building, however, it didn't impede our stay. This side of the island has less traffic and is much slower paced than tourist areas like Waikiki. If you're looking for a relaxing vacation with snorkeling, boarding, and soaking in the view then I'd recommend this rental and area's beaches.

My mom and I had a fantastic stay at Sandra’s unit! This is now our second time staying here and we would love to come back! The unit itself is very clean and has everything needed for cooking and cleaning. The view in the morning from the balcony is out of this world! And the beach area just in front of the building is the best beach on the island for relaxing. We love that’s it’s away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. I would recommend this unit to anyone wanting to explore the north shore!
Also P.S. communication is great! We didn’t have beach towels at first, but had towels brought to us within the hour! Great service and hospitality!!

It would have been nice to be warned that this property is in the middle of a huge construction project. However, having said that, the view from our lanai made walking through that mess totally worth it. Super nice unit, nice folks on the property and truly amazing sunrises. Would stay again for sure. Mahalo for your hospitality.

The complex overall is a little run down, but this unit was exactly as advertised - beautifully updated with amazing ocean views! There was also plenty of parking, even with some construction going on. There is no air conditioning in the unit, but there was a large fan, along with the ocean breeze, which helped to keep it comfortable. Due to our jet lag, my husband and I were awake before the sun came up each morning during our stay. Lucky for us, we were able to watch the sunrise from the comfort of the lanai. We also ate several meals out there while taking in the scenery. The location was great for North Shore destinations and very convenient to the Polynesian Cultural Center (which I highly recommend!). We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy some peace and quiet on Oahu.

Very well stocked clean and organized well. Older building. Was actually between a 1 bedroom and studio " bedroom" has a mirror on wall to make it seem larger. Mattress is very shaky when other person moves. No a/c had 1 working fan .
Can't beat being on a calm beach.

Beautiful condo! It was updated, tastefully decorated, and pretty clean. It had everything we needed. Lots of beach gear, fully equipped kitchen, laundry detergent, soaps, razors, toothpaste, sunscreen.. I mean everything you need so don’t worry if you might’ve forgot something. Even had extra towels, bedding, anything you could think of.
Pat’s is a great location. You have your private balcony with a beautiful ocean view. You’re near Aloha Shrimp and other yummy food places down the road. Foodland is 10ish minutes away by car.
The ocean here was calm. We loved our stay!

Sandra was a wonderful and communicative host. The location was perfect and boasts a pretty private beach, where we were able to snap some gorgeous pics.
The condo was just right for the two of us, and we made use of the washer/dryer until our soap ran out.
The only downside was the construction, as it took up some parking spaces, but we were usually gone for the day by the time the noise started.
I wasn't the biggest fan of Oahu before my stay here, because my previous accommodations were all in Waikiki... but my opinion has changed.
This IS the perfect part of Oahu to stay in. Chill vibes, breathtaking views and just enough shops and eateries to give you what you need
We would not hesitate to stay here again

Enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning over the ocean while drinking coffee on the balcony. The sound of the tide each night from the sofa bed lulled me to sleep - I preferred the sofa bed near the ocean over the bedroom at the back. The property was very clean and comfortable. We stopped at Costco after flying in and stocked up on food, so we ate all of our meals with an ocean view. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, including a Tikki glass that was fun for serving my husband a “fruity cocktail” on Father’s Day. Place exceeded our expectations.

Our view was gorgeous. Property Manager, Sandra, was responsive and immediately addressed small maintenance issues raised.
The only concern is the bed. Mattress is soft / old. Sleeper sofa mattress is better, but as with most sleeper sofas, the frame underneath is felt and not an option either.

We decided to stay here for a 14-day total vacation. The spot is close to the North Shore area, if you are not aware that is where most of the best surfing is in the area. The condo has no central air, however, there are two small fans. It does get very hot in the morning and late afternoon. There were plenty of clean towels for the shower and beach. There were also beach chairs and enough supplies that we had everything we needed. This is a great condo if you are looking to relax and retreat at the beach each day. We did not use the condo much other than to cook or sleep. I would also not recommend this condo for more than a couple or maybe three people at most due to the small bedroom and bathroom. Overall, we would come back again!

Awesome location, easy to get to and great for exploring the island. No central air but the windows provided enough breeze for us. They were starting construction which seemed like it would last a bit, it didn’t effect us because we were up and out by 8am everyday. If you plan on sleeping in, take this into consideration, it might be noisy. The beach is awesome out front, we saw many snorkeling and fishing. We spent a few evenings with our feet in the water sitting on the beach chairs! Very peaceful and not a ton of people. If you wander the beach there is a swing for a cute photo!

We really enjoyed our stay here, has an awesome view of the beach, easy access.
