Turtles, Swim Beachfront Ocean view, Air condition, Wash-dryer in unit, parking

This Unique and private beachfront condo with turtles everywhere and its a perfect swimming beach. Come enjoy the newly remodeled oceanview unit that has a wonderful ocean crossbreeze from the trade winds and air conditioning also now we are happy we have a brand new septic system. This one of a kind place is probably the best swimming and snorkeling beach on this island and with a newly remodled kitchen and bathroom that’s kept sparkling clean. This beachfront condo is best for swimming, snorkeling, canoeing and sunbathing fun. Turtles are everywhere on this very calm beachfront that often has balmy sea breezes and as for swimming, it’s protected by a reef and great for kids too as the water is perfect and usually calm, clear and inviting. The lawn out front is like carpet also and the beach is pristine with clear tiel waters.

Just step outside onto the beach or relax on patio outside under an umbrella table or on the units lanai and sip a beverage and see the waves and palm trees sway. Watch tv on a 58 inch smart cable tv on one of the two comfy chairs (one makes into a twin size sleeper and there’s a futon topper for extra comfort, and the other is a straight back chair) or just watch while relaxing on the full size bed on a memory foam mattress and pillows with the remote or better yet, go outside and discover the surroundings and lounge on one of the many beach chairs while watching the waves or sit under an umbrella table and grill on the BBQ and eat on a picnic table or by the swimming pool. There is Free WiFi and a full size bed in a small back room area and a breezy ceiling fan up above each bed. The place is perfect for two people and works for three and even four, you’ll love the grounds too.You won’t need anything however but this place if you decide to stay here and take in the beauty of the swaying palm trees and quiet paradise lawn with sunbathing chairs. If this sounds like paradise to you then This place is for you! The unit also has an ocean breeze while listening to the waves on the full size bed in front room with memory foam mattress. There’s also a Full size bed in back area also has memory foam mattress that Sleeps 2 more. We do recommend however you consider the place is smaller and works best for 2-3 people. 4 will work however if you must and it’s private in the back with some space for luggage in closet and a dresser drawer to unpack. Total we can handle is 4. There’s a Sleeper chair in front also that makes to bed when legs extended from zipper holder on back and pulled down. Extra cushion topper futon for more comfort. Many collectibles removed as per guest recommendations and we always have and always will professionally clean everything between stays and provide new linens and pillows and towels changing them regularly. Our cleaners use our new hydrosteam crosswave mop vac steamer that leaves the place spotless between each guest. You may also book a additional cleaning after three or four days if you need one at an additional discounted cost. Just ask the host. You will love relaxing in our comfy condo after a day on the beach or touring about the many attractions close by. (There is also half and entire large closet that has all the swim equipment and Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrella you will need and for your use and a smaller cloths hanger area, (to put your belongings and a full size dresser for your cloths.) Nearly everyone who has visited has loved the place and commented on its charm. When you stay with us you won’t regret it. The memories will last forever.

The ocean is calm and clear and everyone is usually is swimming and snorkeling or just sunbathing or lying under a palm tree. The unit is also clean and quiet and professionally cleaned after each guest. All sheets, pillows, blankets, rugs, linens and towels are sanitized after each guest and either new or clean. My pillows are very comfortable also. I use cotton sheets also.

The place is very rare and a hidden gem…, like a Diamond in the rough. The swimming beach is awesome for children and adults alike as it’s protected by a reef and teaming with turtles and we have seen manta ray and even a monk seal.

There’s a large grass area with swaying palm trees and the grass is like carpet with lawn chairs and picnic tables and umbrella tables too. It’s like heaven and we look forward to spending time there whenever we can and can’t wait to go back there ourselves as its our happy place. Also there is work being done on the end of the building and its ongoing and intermittent however noone has complained and we are fine.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. The condo has a memory foam bed. There's a private balcony. A Smart television with cable programming provides entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.
Be sure to enjoy recreational amenities including an outdoor pool and a fitness center.

outdated building and room
The building is old and under renovation. The area is messy and noisy during the day when renovation is going on. Workers start early in the morning around 8am. The apartment is outdated and very crowded. Tiny ant is a big pest problem. However it is right on the beach. The view from room is not bad. Price is too high for the room quality and amenities.

Oahu Stay
This is by far one of the most unique areas of Oahu, where you were able to visit both the North Shore and South Shores in an hour drive. The private beach location was extremely unique, to be able to walk out the door to the water. We saw plenty of sea turtles and even a harmless shark. Janet provides all the things needed for beach fun, as well. While we were there, there was a lot of construction going on, which we were warned about just a few days before arriving. The work was mid-day, but made parking a little difficult, and some strong smells in the morning. One thing to note, is that this is more of a studio style condo, and the most comfort for sleeping would be the living room futon. The portable AC unit wasn't working for us, which we let Jan know, and tried leaving the condo doors open, but could not get enough breeze to come through - and the mid-day/night downpours would often get things pretty wet. Overall, Janet has everything you need to enjoy the beach and the location is 5 stars. If you're doing Oahu the right way, you should be gone during the day and have the evenings to enjoy the beach, then have a roof over your head.

Loved Our Stay!
3 adults stayed comfortably. The location is great, we travelled the North shore all the way down to the southern tip while we stayed here, and it was beautiful. Beach is clean and we were lucky enough to see the turtles. Janet was wonderful, from instructions beginning to end and very quick responses for questions on anything. We were surprised how well stocked the place was and clean. If we are lucky enough to come out this way again, we would definitely stay here. Janet thank you for everything.

Wonderful Beach and location
We had an amazing time during our stay here and have recommended to our friends to book here after coming home. AC is a small room unit, but we found it wasn’t needed with the nice cross breeze coming through. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans and had everything we needed to make meals for our family.

Countryside Vacation
The unit was well kept and getting in touch with the hostess is easy. The AC only cools the front of the unit with the ceiling fan on as well. Jan is an awesome hostess. If you have a question she'll answer very quickly. I loved that the unit is situated right off the beach so it is easily accessible. You have access to beach chairs and tubes as well that is provided in the unit. All in all I would definitely stay here again.

Nice condo as base for our adventures on windward / north shore areas. Beautiful swimming and snorkeling beach in front. We spent time at condo beach and grassy area one day. They were doing some work on the exterior of the building, as it is an older property, so it was a little distracting during work hours. The beach is great, very few people and saw big sea turtles each morning. My daughter swam with them one morning. Condo is small and was fine for two people. The bed in the front room was very comfortable for me at 5’5, but too short for my 5’9 daughter. The mattress is on a futon frame so her feet hung over onto the wood frame. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable for her. There is only a small window in that room without a curtain, the porch light shines in, so covered with towel which then prevents air into the room. There are ceiling fans in bedroom and front room. There is a portable air conditioner that we used also. Nice having washer and dryer in condo. Best to use when you’re not going to be in back area as it warms the bathroom especially. Loved that we had access to beach chairs, towels, snorkel gear and coolers. Jan was great to communicate with, she was very responsive. If we were traveling to this area again we would come back.

However, when it comes to customer service it can go from really nice to passive aggressive as soon as you give some feedback or criticism. She is very defensive resulting into "Karen mentality". It's crucial to create good customer relations and making sure customers leave happy, we didn’t get either.
