"We understood when booking that this unit that construction was extensive, and the room did not have an ocean view. That expectation was clear in the listing and email. However, the photos were misleading. The room featured large, expansive curtains that reasonably suggested there would at least be some type of exterior view. Instead, the “view” was a brick wall directly outside the window. That was disappointing and felt deceptive in how the room was presented online.The room was extremely hot and humid. With a 4:00 p.m. check-in, the room temperature should have at least been comfortable. Communication with property management was frustrating. We were repeatedly reminded that “other guests were fine with the accommodations,” which was not helpful or reassuring. We chose not to stay, and were in the room for less than five minutes. Initially, no refund was offered despite the conditions and concerns. The cleaning fee was eventually refunded only after reminding the property manager that cleaning services would not be necessary since we never used the room.Most disappointing was the overall lack of hospitality and care demonstrated throughout the interaction. For a property in Hawai‘i, we expected at least some sense of “Aloha spirit.” Warmth, understanding, and customer care were lacking.The experience fell well short of expectations due to misleading presentation, parking limitations, poor room conditions upon arrival, and dismissive communication from management."

"We loved staying at Janet's beautiful condo. The unit had a beautiful balcony with an ocean view, we were 2nd story and the beach was right there below. The unit was well-equipped, perhaps my most favorite thing of all. So many times you have to buy every little household item you need when you stay at a similar property arrangement. But the host, Janet, kindly shared with us the property's scuba gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, ample towels and bedding, she even provided toiletries to use, which we didn't need any. She also provided laundry soap, we had brought some but did use a couple of her supplies. It was so stocked and kind of her to treat the guest so well. My only complaint is the cleanliness of the place upon arriving was 4 out of 5 stars. The place needed a tiny bit more dusting, especially the bathroom exhaust fan. The kitchen and bathroom were pretty clean and the two beds provided were clean and comfortable. The unit was definitely worth the money! The parking lot refurbishment going on at the time was slightly bothersome but not majorly aggravating at all. Only slightly bothersome as it made parking around the building difficult. But Janet was very communicative about this and helped us to know the parking rules and complex rules. It was the best stay ever and we will hopefully book with Janet again! "

"It had everything that was advertised. Great view of the ocean, quiet even while construction was happening and a small cute cottage. "

"10/10 vacation location! We wanted to be right on the beach with snorkeling and this property delivers that and much more. Many opportunities to see turtles with a peaceful, private beach. The property is exceptionally clean with everything you need. Close to Laie and groceries. Perfect vacation, thank you! Host is also wonderful and communicative."

"Perfect place to visit North Shore. Close to lots of great things to do. Perfect view of ocean. "

"The door handle to the only door leading to the beach was broken. We asked for it to be fixed it never was during our 6 day stay. Other maintenance issues like master bedroom door lock was broken. Lots of cobwebs on the windows that were on the top part of the A frame. Beach was great and so was the location. We enjoyed our stay other than what we stated above. "

"The condo is in a great location right in front of the beach, which was a major highlight. However, the unit itself needs quite a bit of updating and care. Some fixtures, like the mirror and wall hangings in the bathroom, did not feel secure and fell off the wall.While the space generally matched the listing, it felt outdated and not very appealing upon check-in. There was also significant construction happening in the building in front of the condo, which impacted the overall experience. This was something that iI was informed about a few days before my check-in.Overall, the location is excellent, but the condo would benefit from more attention, maintenance, and updates."

"Fantastic location!! Steps from the beach, right in the backyard… We enjoyed being away from the city, but easily within driving distance… There was known driveway repair / construction- which has to be done even in paradise - which was a little difficult with parking, but easily sorted and again… these things happen…. Great stay!!"

"I can’t say enough good things about this very amazing location. If you want to want to get away from the city bustle and tourist trap of Waikiki, this is your spot. The water is calm enough for children and the snorkeling is fantastic. I personally thought it was better than Hanauma Bay (too many people and not as many fish). We booked this place for the location, and the unit provided basics for what we needed. It was clean, spacious for 2 people, and exactly as advertised. The communication and check-in was excellent. Always reachable and very responsive. The construction was not an issue and the management group was very upfront with the construction challenges, including parking access. The food trucks across the street rival some of the bigger known food trucks. Try the shaved ice across the street, too. The town has its charm. If you are spending more time on the north shore, this is a great base camp for 2 people. 30 mins to Sharks Cove, 15 to Kualoa Ranch. There’s a portable AC unit that is convenient on hot nights and plenty of fans in unit. There’s going to be small bugs but they come from outside, they are everywhere in the tropics. The unit is comfortable and provides for all your basic needs, but the location and beach is my favorite. Morning roosters won’t let you miss the sunrise. Shout out to the security company that provides 24 hour security on the property, very kind and helpful folks. I would stay here again, most definitely. "
