Great access to shopping, restaurants, beautiful view of the ocean where we could see dolphins swimming by while enjoying our morning coffee/tea. The condo was spotlessly clean, with access to linens, towels, beach towels, lawn chairs, dishes for cooking and lots of other useful things! The pool and grounds were perfectly maintained. Tennis courts were also well kept and great to play on! Couldn’t ask for anything more!

This was the perfect oceanside property for my wife and I and our two adult children. The ocean view picture in the listing is an understatement - the view from the lanai is terrific, especially at sunset, it was a treat every day. Overall quality of the unit is superb, it had all of the amenities we needed for a 9-nite stay, even plenty of kitchen gadgets. All in all we were very satisfied with our experience.

Overall this was a wonderful condo, very nice views, great location, well equipped, comfy bed. I only have one negative. The master bedroom is completely exposed to the outside. There is no privacy because the curtains are see through. Given there is a huge mirror in the master opposite wall to the window, the lights outside really were reflected into the master room at night also. I did request something to cover the windows, property management was very apologetic but owner refused. We also had an issue the first couple days with the television remote not working. Someone did come in and fix it. We also did not have consistent hot water for showers. Overall this was a very nice place, very comfortable Air Conditioning, excellent location, fantastic outdoor lanai.

Wonderful location. Calm and quiet. The condo was very clean, well furnished and stocked with everything you would need for cooking in the updated kitchen. Perfect for the four of us.

Unbeatable location and amenities - steps to the best view around! Wonderfully appointed unit, impeccably clean, everything we could possibly need in our home away from home. Pool super clean, grounds are wonderfully maintained and the location is great to walk into town (40 min). I would definitely stay here again.

This property is perfect for traveling with another couple. It has two bathrooms that are en-suite to each of the bedrooms. The home gets a nice cross breeze of natural AC along with supplemental AC when we first arrived(from Seattle). The pool and entire property are kept in great condition and there is a sense of tranquility and peace while staying here. We enjoyed the proximity to town and walked in a number of times. It is a great place for those wanting to explore the island, which we did thoroughly; driving to the Volcano NP, Green Sand Beach and a number of snorkeling locations to the south and to a number of beaches and valleys to the north. I highly recommend this place for those who want access to town with peace in nature.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Not a great experience. Had a bad invasion of spiders in the kitchen. Contacted property management, said they would send pest one came and never received follow up call. Couldn't leave anything on kitchen counters without small spiders covering everything. Also place needs better cleaning. Ceiling fans covered with thick layer of dust and spreading everywhere when fans running...had to limit use in certain rooms.

Perfect location for watching over the pool and the ocean. The condo worked fine for us however is in great need of a couple critical updates that wouldn’t cost much. The coffee maker is a tiny 2 cup pot. So strange…my husband and I had to make 3 pots every morning just for the 2 of us. It’s the tiny size you see in a hotel room. Weird. Pots/pans and utensils are terribly old and lacking in usability. Again, it’s cheap to go but a new set at Walmart and would make a huge difference. Lastly, closets rods were all rusty which is expected so close to the ocean. The rust is all over the hangers and you risk ruining your clothes if you want to use the closet. They need wood rods in there instead. Another cheap upgrade that would help.

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: It is hard to imagine a more perfect stay than ours was here. Not only were the amenities listed all perfect, but there were amenities we didn't even know we needed, like a blender for morning smoothies or an amazing recliner for afternoon naps! The views from every window in the house are stunning, three ocean views and one right out into the banana trees outside. The furniture is all new and very comfortable, especially the living room and it was so nice to have an eating area both inside and outside on the lanai. The location inside the complex was perfect, near enough to the parking lot, but very secluded and extremely quiet on the second floor. The complex itself was amazing, not only views of the ocean waves 10 feet away from the comfortable lounge chairs, but coastline access so you can go down and look at the tide pools yourself and grills just a few feet away if you'd like to cook outdoors. You can also get ocean views while swimming in the pool, which is just over the top amazing. Not to exclude the amazing, lush landscaping with beautiful trees, bushes and flowers that were all immaculately maintained. There was always plenty of parking and the location of the complex was perfect, close enough to downtown so we could drive in quickly, but far enough away to be much less crowded and busy. When we had to communicate some very minor issues, our host responded super quickly and the issues were fixed in one case before I even knew it. If I could give this stay more than 5 stars, I would!
