This unit is perfectly located. Assigned parking is right nearby, access to the pool and barbecue area is right there.The grounds are very well maintained, and the complex is located close to everything we wanted to see and do.

The checkin was a bit difficult because I wasn’t given the code to a lock box which opened the screen door. I only had the code for the keypad. I was with my 8yo so that was a bit frustrating but the Vacasa people was easy to reach and they helped me out. The place is very clean, comfortable and well stocked but they only left two extra toilet paper rolls which felt a bit stingy. They brought more when I complained which was appreciated. The management is very responsive. The unit, as the listing states, has no AC. It was OK but I could see it being hot as summer approaches. The complex is quiet and the pool is very nice Be aware this place is listed for sale, if you book a trip its possible your reservation gets cancelled if the property is sold.

From the moment we arrived, we felt at home in this beautifully remodeled and impeccably clean retreat. The bright, airy space offered stunning ocean views, and the soothing sound of the waves lulled us to sleep each night. We made great use of the beach gear and appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout. The hosts were incredibly responsive, and their welcome book and recommendations were so helpful. It was the perfect start to our vacation. We truly didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return!

The condominium was as represented and in a quiet neighborhood. It was very clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the ocean from the Lanai. We had a minor problem with the AC but the property management team was quick to resolve the problem. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

The photos used to promote this property did not reflect it's condition when we rented it. We arrived to find that the nice clean carpet shown in the pictures was filthy, as were the circulation and extraction fans throughout and the refrigerator exterior. There is general repair/replacement required for the doors, trim and some structural and floor areas. The sofa and other furniture also need replacement. The whole apartment requires a complete update, repainting and refreshing, which apparently it hasn't had for years. After that, it may be more suitable for use. We would not have rented this property had the photos more accurately shown its condition. It does not reflect well on the owner, property manager or VRBO to have this happen.

This is a great location with a great view. This is right on the water so you can listen to the ocean all night. House was very clean and well maintained. The house had everything need for our stay plus some extras. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to stay while in Hawaii.

This is not our first time staying at one of Betsy’s properties. We know we can count on her to provide all the necessary aspects to have a comfortable stay and to make for a memorable vacation. Excellent communication. Amazing location. Gorgeous condo. Easy parking. Phenomenal view. All the essentials for a fantastic trip. Would absolutely stay here again.

Location good. Comfortable bed. We knew it was an older unit. However we expected everything to be working. There is no air conditioning but we thought it would be okay with the ceiling fans. They are old and don’t move much air. The carpets are stained and dirty. Dishwasher only works on light cycle. It just really needs some updating

Beautiful view. Shaded deck. Extremely well stocked with anything u could want. Nice towels and sheets. Only issue we picked this unit for the view and two recliners When we arrived the two recliners had been replaced with two very uncomfortable rattan swivel rockers!! Pictures were not updated. Made for an uncomfortable stay. Couch was not comfortable either. Foot stole was wooden with no padding.

This was my 2nd time staying at the Alli Villas property. This time I choose the 3rd floor for added security. It was comfortable, roomy, clean had all amenities as an apartment would. It was a true peek a boo view from the lani all the way to to left. It's 1st building at the entrance so you get full on sun and street noise in the bedroom but only if you open the window I kept every window and curtain closed to keep it cool because there are portable ac units. I loved that. The kitchen had everything. I cooked every breakfast and majority of my dinners because I would always be in the house at dark. I packed my lunch and cooler daily because this was a beach themed vacation for me. My favorite is disappearing magic sands beach.the theater chairs are comfortable great for naps and watching tv. The pool was nice and heated. I wish I would've spent more time out there at night when returned. The blackout drapes worked great may need laundering the house has a strange smell which I think came from the drapes I just used air freshener. The property is ocean front so I was able to walk to shore and sit on the benches and watch the beautiful view. This property is beautiful and well groomed.I would stay here again

If you like private, amazing view of the ocean from the place you stay including sunsets, if you like to hear the crashing of the ocean waves all the time, if you like an open and breezy feel, if you like a clean, comfortable home with all the amenities you desire then this place is for you. The location is great, the resort is great and the place has one of the best views on the island. I spent 20 days there in Jan/Feb of 2025, 20 perfect days. The owner was supper responsive to all questions and made sure I was well taken care of. 10 out of 10 for sure.

Our family stayed here for 5 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is right by the ocean and the view during daybreak is stunning.It is centrally located and you can reach many of the beaches and attractions in less than 30 mins. We bought groceries and cooked at the place as the kitchen was very well stocked. Highly recommendedminutes.

This is a well run condo association. The common areas are well maintained. Assigned parking spaces assured us proximity to our rental. Best pool of my many rentals. Large, warm, clean. Lots of sitting area and chairs and lending library surrounding pool. The large lanae/belcony views the neighboring pool area and ocean. Good for whale watching. It was shaded all day long in January, so stays cool. All appliances worked well. There were many dishes and cookwear to choose from. The sunsets were wonderful.

We had a great time here, we were able to cook our meals and the added little extras like binoculars to watch the whales and dolphins and the use of a cooler and beach mats. We will definitely come and stay again

Reviewer Comments:
Pleasant place to do nothing while in Hawaii, that is the best experience. The place was very clean and comfortable. It took us awhile to figure out the light/fan switches. We had one problem with the air conditioner or lights not working in the master bedroom. Eventually we had to move the bed and reconnect the plug that had slightly disconnected. The help staff were very helpful in this regard. The ocean view is just as it shows in the picture. The area was quiet throughout our stay, even though it was highest season. We loved that little gecko friends shared the lanai with us. Mahalo.

Little confusion with parking but all got worked out. The unit was clean, comfortable.and had everything we needed to make many meals ourselves. AC works but hard to get cool at night in bedroom area.It was great to have beach towels, coolers, beach chairs and boogie boards for us to use at the unit.Location is great! I walked next door to Green Flash coffee for breakfast, smoothies and coffee. YUMMY! Being a ground floor unit and an older complex beware you will hear the people upstairs walking around and going up/down stairway.

I still can’t believe the view from this condo is real. We were lucky to stay there during winter swells, watching the waves pounding the rocks. The place is neat and tidy. There’s some swim and beach materials (umbrella, cooler, boards) and the location is close to town.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely 2 bedroom ground floor unit. The porch and view make this property spectacular. For us the ocean at high tide was a lot in the middle of the night so we learned to shut all the windows and use the fans. Home was equipped with extra fans, which we were thankful for. Porch does overlook the neighboring pool so it's not 100% private but still lovely! The front/guest shower head was a little uncomfortable so we stuck with the master shower. Kitchen was well equipped. Property was lovely with friendly people. Communication from management staff was excellent. 5 star vacation rental all the way! Mahola!

Being "right on the ocean" was amazing. The sound of the waves and being able to see whales from the deck is surreal. We will book again!

Everything was perfect from the onboarding to the apartment itself. Upon entering you are greeted with a welcoming local feel in the apartment's decor. It was clean and you are provided with everything you could need; abundant towels, detergent for the washer, beach gear if you needed it. There were even binoculars, which at first I thought was just decor, until I was on the deck with amazing views of the ocean when heard a man shouting and pointing that there were whales in the ocean. Luckily I had my camera with my 400mm zoom lens and was able to get some good captures. That was the icing on the stay!! 10/10 would stay again and recommend!!
