"Great location, stunning view, perfect decor, stocked with everything I needed (minus a pizza pan), great communication from property manager, grounds are lush and gorgeous, parking can be right after dark but I guess you can park next door. Trades flow through and have plenty of fans. No complaints - I’d definitely return!"

"This Condo is in an excellent location and is well provisioned with beach gear. Which is great because the beach is within walking distance. There’s everything you need for a comfortable stay and the lānai overlooks a beautiful courtyard garden and pool. Be on the watch for an evening show right at dusk when hundreds of rose-ringed parakeets dive into the trees for their evening roost."

Prince Kuhio 235 - Ocean View Studio

8/10 Good
"This was a nice, slightly dated room in a cozy property with a very helpful and communicative host. We did have a couple of issues though. First there was construction going on in the unit next door for at least two of the 3 days we were there. It was fairly loud and annoying especially during siesta time (on a Saturday and Sunday!) but was not quite to the point of being totally unbearable. We loved having the AC and amenities of the unit. The Bed was fairly comfortable but the main problem was that the curtains did not cover a large eastern facing window that made it impossible to sleep in at all. The sun shines directly in your face at the head of the bed and trying to rig a towel or something to cover it is very difficult. Similarly, the light on the AC unit shines directly in your face at the head of the bed all night. So, between the night light blaring in your face, the light and heat of the very early morning sun, and the afternoon construction, sleeping was heavily impacted. Otherwise the room is situated in a fairly good location within close driving distance of shops, food, etc and a nice view."
