About this property

Luxury Beachfront Condo w/ AC

Summary:
Luxury remodel completed in 2022!

Enjoy ocean breezes, spectacular unobstructed ocean views while listening to the waves from this Beach Front 1BR/1BA 750 sq.ft. beachfront condo (including a private lanai with ocean view.)

This is Hawaii's most beautiful location right on a family friendly sandy beach. Enjoy spectacular sunrises over the ocean, large sea turtles that regularly visit the beach, whales off shore and colorful coral that make this semi-private beach a special retreat.

The Space:
Important Construction Update: The lanai (patio) facing the ocean will not be accessible to use until April 2024. Your view will most likely be obstructed with construction equipment and there will be a high likelihood for concrete jack hammering and construction dust going on Mon-Fri 9am-5pm. Additionally the pool is only open from 5pm-8pm Mon-Fri. But the pool is open all day Sat-Sun.

This is a one-bedroom condo with spectacular beach, ocean and sunrise views! Located on a mid-level floor, accessible by two elevators. The condo has an in-unit washer/dryer for taking care of your family's needs during your stay. There is also a beachside gym, pool and bbq area.

The bed room has two full-size bunk beds. The living room has a queen Murphy bed and queen sofa sleeper.

Guests will have access to the entire condo, beach, and gym. There is reserved parking for 1 car and more parking along the road.

There should be plenty of dish soap, laundry soap, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towels and toilet paper for your stay. We want you to have a premium and hassle-free family bonding experience at the condo, so if there is anything you need or any questions, please contact me.

There is some construction going on at the building (Pat's at Punalu'u). Please plan on some unsightly construction scaffolding and signs as well as possible construction noise Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM (No construction happens on the weekends).

Because we are aware and sensitive to these potential impacts on your experience, we have already discounted all nightly rates through 2023 by 20%. If you decide to cancel your stay because of the construction, we will offer a full refund to you if you cancel within 24 hours of making your reservation.

The vast majority of our guests still have a truly amazing experience here regardless of the construction and we think you will too! We are happy to answer any questions you have.

The property is located at historic Pats at Punalu'u, 53-567 Kamehameha Highway, Hauula, HI 96717 which is a legal rental, exempt from Bill 89/Ordinance 19-18 (per Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting).

Guest Access:
As my guests, you will have complete access to the entire condo, private lanai (balcony), beachside gym and pool, beachside picnic area and bbq, lawn chairs and the beach. Access to your condo is by two secured elevators. There is free parking for 1 car in a designated stall with additional parking available on the street.

The Neighborhood:
Ocean Front Right on the Beach! The Beach is protected by a reef a ways out so it's perfect for snorkeling without the bigger waves. Beaches with big waves are nearby! Shrimp Truck, Thai Food Truck, Burger Food Truck, Vietnamese Pho Food Truck, Hawaiian Ice stand and convenience store with local food counter half block away across the street! Less than 5 miles to the Polynesian Cultural Center, Hawaii’s #1 paid attraction, draws millions of visitors annually with their world-class entertainment, learning, shows, and luaus. There is a Longs drugstore and two grocery stores in the area. Five minutes away, Laie Beach Park has great year round larger waves for body surfing. Turtle Bay Resort Golf Courses/Restaurants and World Famous North Shore Surfing Beaches a short drive away.

If it's winter, along the North Shore you'll be treated to 30 to 40-foot tall waves and some of the world's best surfers. You'll also find Waimea Bay and the beautiful Waimea Falls Park with its sacred sites, waterfall and wonderful hula dancers. Or drive a few more miles to the quaint town of Haleiwa and its many art galleries, boutiques and restaurants.

There is also horseback riding nearby and of course, the beach and the ocean - right outside your door!

Getting Around:
Guest have a private parking space not far from the elevators. There is also a bus stop just steps away that will take you around the island and directly to all of the most popular, world-famous beaches.

Other Things to Note:
NEWLY REMODELED in 2022!
Reserved parking for one vehicle in a reserved parking stall with more public parking on the street.

Spirit of Aloha

Fantastic location!!! Very accurate with the great view and the opportunity to see turtles. Had enough bed space for 5 adults. Space was great for being able to travel with older adults as well. Yes the apartment could become warm when running the dryer during the day and the AC was not as strong as in the mainland. BUT they still work and we never were overheated. After all it’s a beautiful island where the sun was beautiful.

Great Sunrise View

Great location. We were able to get all over the island easily and the property allowed peace and quit when wanted. The construction on the property was not an issue at all. View of the ocean was fabulous. The condo was very comfortable and accommodating to our needs, with 5 people.

Just average. Expected more.

The unit had nice kitchen and nice TV. The views are breathtaking as in the pictures. Please note that the unit is cooled only by 2 small portable AC units, one in livingroom (which was inadequate) and one in bedroom (which could use a bigger unit). Now the bad stuff that did not meet our expectations: - The portable AC in the bedroom was broken when we arrived so it was too hot in the bedroom on our 1st night and did not get a good night's sleep. It was replaced the the next day with another small unit which helped a bit for the rest of our nights. - The AC in the living room had 2 issues. 1st, this small portable AC unit can't cool the entire unit except the bedroom. This needs to be replaced with a larger unit or add another unit by the laundry area. Bathroom area gets hot especially when door closed. 2nd, in our first 3 days, the AC vent was blowing hot air back into the unit since the exhaust hose couldn't be secured and sealed. With these issues, it mad the main unit areas hot and uncomfortable. - The folding bed in the living room was broken and we did not feel safe using it. It can't be folded back in either. - The sheets for the folding bed had crumbs and small stains. No big deal since we didn't use it but should've been cleaned. - Shower head was leaking so we had very little pressure on our first night. They fixed the next day. Pressure was better but still low for our taste. - Dryer vents into the unit so it gets hot inside when using it - Washer had mold issues

Enjoyed our stay

We recently stayed with our 4 children ages 5-12. Check in and check out were a breeze. Good location, close to so many things to see and do. We loved that it was quiet and right in front of a beautiful beach for swimming and going on walks. We loved how peaceful and not overcrowded it was. The construction didn’t ever bother us. The sand toys, boogie boards etc were so nice to have. Will leave some notes for host with recommendations of ammenities that would be helpful to include in the condo, but otherwise great!

Great place to relax and unwind out of the tourist chaos.

We had a great time during our stay. Enjoyed the sea breeze, the relatively quiet building (barely heard construction) and the dead beach. At most we could see 1-2 other ppl on the beach at any given time. We snorkelled with 15-20 sea turtles, spotted an eel, and even ran smack dab into a HUGE Manta Ray, all right in front of the condo. Walked down the beach in the evening and watched the turtles as they came onto the beach to bed down for the evening. All in all it was a great trip!

Great view!

The property exceeded expectations. The kitchen and linens were well-stocked. Bret, our host, was communicative and clear about expectations. He let us know several times in advance about the construction on site and made sure we were ok with it. The air conditioning kept us comfortable. The washer and dryer were very large capacity and easy to use. The only downside was that the bedroom window (glass shutter style) opens up towards the highway, so my kid had a hard time sleeping with the road noise.

Nice location

The area was nice and looked right over the ocean. There was construction however that was only for a few hours a day and never effected our stay. The condo was mostly clean however there was some dusting that needed to be done. The kitchen had everything we need to cook meals. We had five people and fit comfortably in the condo. The area is quiet and close to the PPC and BYU-H. We had to call for one minor thing and received an immediate response. We would stay here again.

Perfect location!!

The owners and host made everything easy. Tons of information to help plan the trip, the place was clean. It was easy and quick to get any questions answered and if anything was missing, they jumped right in and got it to us. The beds were comfy. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook and clean. The air conditioning worked great. It was quiet and clean and close to so many amazing things. There was snorkeling gear, boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, deck chairs, beach towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, and shower and hand towels. Plenty of bedding and pillows. We had two adults and 6 kids and everyone had a place to sleep comfortably. The beach in front of the property is full of gorgeous turtles in the early morning and evening, the sand is soft, the waves are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. It was one of our favorite spots to have a beach day. We had a wonderful stay!

Quiet with a beautiful beach

The unit was exactly as described and was a good location to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center and some awesome surf spots. Watching the sunrise off the lanai was a highlight each morning. Easy communication with owner and would recommend for others. Construction was as described in the listing so was not an unpleasant surprise but rather an expected inconvenience. We would stay again.

Absolutely wonderful

Our family had a wonderful time staying here. It is well worth the drive from the airport for the incredible views and almost private beach. The snorkeling was great, and we saw turtles everyday out in the water. The construction was ongoing during business hours, but it was not bothersome. The condo was updated and very nice. The sunrise every morning was unbelievable from the balcony. Out of our entire vacation, staying here was one of the highlights.

Friends getaway

Four of us nurse friends stayed and we all absolutely loved the condo. It was plenty spacious for our group or more. Amazing views, we loved watching the turtles come up to shore at night. The local store and great food trucks were a super close walking distance. It was a great location to hit up the north shore or east side. The condo had everything we needed for meals. We could not have asked for more. The hosts kept in touch almost daily and check in was thorough and easy. This is a perfect place for a group.
