I had my husband, 2 kids, and my mom with us. Condo was exactly as described. You can watch a beautiful sunset from the lanai and walk down to Kahaluu beach for snorkeling in the morning. The walk is VERY short. Some road noise but it wasn’t bad and the neighborhood was overall quiet.
This unit is on the second floor but you have to go down one flight of stairs from the parking lot then up 2 flights of stairs to the condo. I didn’t see an elevator so keep this in mind when considering. It wasn’t an issue for us. We got a little workout carrying our suitcases. Also there is no screen door on the slider going out to the lanai so we couldn’t keep the door open at night. There are definitely bugs and you don’t want them coming in. We found two baby geckos inside the condo which our kids were excited about but some people might not be as excited. We also had a lot of gnats and one roach but we found bugs everywhere we went. This was not unique to this property. There were also wasps outside.
The central AC was perfect and cooled the entire condo quickly. It’s definitely a must have in Hawaii. It’s almost 90 degrees in the summer so you will use it. The unit had boogie boards, beach chairs, pool noodles, and snorkel stuff.
It would have been nice to have a local contact person. The only phone number I received was the Vacasa company number which was not convenient to call because you have to go through the menu options to get to a person. We would stay here again!
