10/10 Excellent
"This property was absolutely beautiful! Our "condo" had just about everything we needed! Cooking and eating utensils, shampoo, conditioner body wash...we went to the store for a few things, but the majority of what we needed was already there. The layout of the condo was simple and there was lots of storage space! We loved eating on the back patio, and listening to the birds. The whole place was pretty quiet- and occasional yard worker, but nothing unsettling. There were lots of things to do close by, including multiple beaches and grocery stores. This property was a great choice for our first time stay in Hawaii- I would highly recommend this property!"
