Beautiful beach
We enjoyed the beach in front of the property. The bed was way too soft, the sofa bed was better. Be aware that the bedroom has no door, it is more of a nook. The floor in the appartment was not clean. Maybe because of the construction workers. They painted the balcony ceiling during our stay. One day when we came back the front door was open (we have locked it when we went out). We assume that the workers came in through the balcony door which we did have closed but not locked. After that we made sure we locked both doors. Overall we had a good stay and loved the North shore

Eigentlich wäre die Lage schön
Wir hatten leider das Pech, das gerade direkt vor unserem Balkon über uns Bauarbeiten stattfanden. Der Lärm ging leider morgens um 8:30 Uhr los. Daher war der Ausblick getrübt von Gerüst und Baumaterial. Sehr gut fanden wir die Reaktion des Vermieters der uns entsprechend auch einen Nachlass freiwillig gewährte.Im Inserat wird erwähnt, es handelt sich um einen neu renovierte Wohnung, dies entspricht nicht meiner Auffassung da, wenn überhaupt der Boden erneuert wurde. Das Bett war so weich und durch gehängt, dass wir auf dem auszieht Sofa schlafen mussten. Für mich leider nicht weiter zu empfehlen. Ohne die gute Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin hätte ich nur einen Punkt vergeben.

Everything thing was good, the bed was a little soft. The location was great as we had most of our activities on the north shore. We would stay there again.

Worst Experience with VRBO... Ever...
Neighborhood: Sketchy. The property overall was dirty and appeared to be in decay. Upon arrival, it was challenging to find the lockbox. Upon entering the property, we could see that it had not been cleaned. It looked as if someone had been eating something in the messy bed. We weren't sure if the specs of debris we were seeing were crumbs or bed-bugs... There were sheets in the washing machine that had not been washed. There was scaffolding outside, blocking the ocean view, as well as loud construction going on. When I contacted the property manager, they said the cleaning people had stepped out, but would be right back. This was almost 5pm. We were tired from our flight and driving to the property. It did not look as nice as the photos. NOT BY A LONG SHOT. I stated that this was unacceptable. TOTAL RIP off. Avoid at all costs... We were there to attend a wedding, and had to find last minute lodging, that was much more expensive. But... we weren't about to stay at this deplorable property. Paid over $1500.00 for 4 nights, and was only able to get a $175. refund. Live and learn...

our first retirement trip
I'm so excited to share this with you! The condo was fantastic, we slept with all the windows open, It was just awesome! The only downside was that there was no coffee or tea, and we couldn't find any nearby. (I wasn't looking for a Starbucks, just any coffee). Luckily, we stumbled upon the "Bald Guy" food truck and their amazing cold brew blew us away!

Great ocean view, all "cons" are below
*No real air conditioning. There is a portable a/c unit in the living room & a box fan. The a/c doesn't cool enough; Other than the first night, we didn't have a breeze to cool the unit; it was humid & stuffy the other four night *The queen bed is very soft & was not comfortable *The dryer takes a long time to dry items & the lint filter comes loose while in use & clanks around inside the dryer *The bedroom has poor airflow so we slept on the pullout sofa nights 2-5; sofa was firmer for our backs but there was a support bar that could be felt through the sofa mattress, not ideal *Lots of rust: tub, top of fridge and sofa frame *The cable TV did not work; the only way to turn off the TV was to un-plug it; there were three remotes without usage instructions *Living room seating not comfortable *The pots & pans are not new; some are teflon coated & should be replaced due to scratches Wooden spoons & plastic cooking spatulas are old & worn *No toilet lid *Only one working electrical outlet working in the kitchen area, the other two did not work *We had to message the host to get instructions on how to pull out the sofa *No unit "welcome/unit instructions/local things to know" binder like other VRBO condos we've rented *No photo of actual entire building in photos to see outside of building prior to reserving Unit has great potential, but needs improvements so that guests are not inconvenienced & uncomfortable.

Some Great some not so
This was a mixed bag but potential to be great. Pros - View cannot be beat. Amazing!. - Great beach. We regularly saw turtles while snorkeling off the beach. - Excellent property manager who is very responsive and accommodating - Great quiet location without the 'touristy' feel (exactly what we were looking for) Cons - The biggest one which took away from the whole experience was the condition of the unit. A lot of rust! We understand that ocean front accommodations are hard to manage for this aspect but we have stayed at numerous oceanfront condos and never experienced this much rust. The whole top of the fridge was (my apologies to the property owners), disgusting :(. Perhaps because I am tall that it was always in clear view for me and bothered me more than it probably would to others who can't see it constantly. It was weird that a lot of items were upgraded (e.g Kitchen) while others seem to be in bad shape (e.g. bath tub/shower, lanai, etc.) - The bedroom is pretty much unusable. Primarily because there was no airflow in the bedroom and since the unit doesn't have air-conditioning, you have to keep the window open and then you can't sleep due to noise from the road. We slept on the pull out couch in the living room, which worked okay but was not ideal. The building is going through an upgrade (noise etc. from that was minimal and did not bother us) so hoping the unit will also get some much needed freshening up.

Security Knock on door 10 pm.
Condo was as expected, not super but ok. Where to park was buried in the web site. My fault only read Check In and Check out procedures. No sign in the Condo or instructions. 10:30 p.m. after parking in same place for 2 days Security knock on door, had to move right now, I was asleep. Simple fix put a sign on the wall were the house key were kept with parking instructions. Also in the Check In and Out instructions give parking instructions. Everything else was as expected.

Nice but…
Mixed feelings about it. Rooms were clean. Living room/kitchen fine. However the bedroom was not big enough for the queen-size bed. Not enough space to squeeze past the foot of the bed just to get into the bed just 6”. The bed was up against the wall on the other side.So after the first night we moved the mattress to the living room and slept on the floor! The bathroom had two issues: toilet was so low it was almost like a squatty potty; the shower had NO grab bar if one slipped. The appliances were good and everything else was fine.

Beautiful Views!
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.

The right spot
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

Perfect location.
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✔️

Beautiful beach front view
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!
