Anniversary celebration
The place was very clean and welcoming. They had everything you need for the beach, chairs, umbrella, cooler, kids toys, etc…. Beautiful view from the patio door. Easy access to the beach. It is distant from some of the main attractions but if you like quiet and no traffic this is the place to stay

Amazing place
Gerry is the most accomodating host that I’ve experienced. The place is simply awesome, we watch sunset everyday either from the beach or from the apartment. It has all things that you would need and you would definitely have a feel of living in someone’s home, not at a rental place. There are few supermarkets near by that make cooking so much easy. We were not disturbed or concerned by homeless people - it’s just a sad fact of Hawaii living conditions that make many not being able to afford houses.

Absolutely Gorgeous view
This unit has a beautiful view right outside the door. Snorkeling was awesome. My husband and I were able to see sea turtles. When we arrived there, there was a note on the washer and dryer not to use it that someone was going to come by so we stayed out of the room for the day to repair. When we returned I tried to do laundry and the issue was not fixed a little inconvenient, considering I booked 7 days. we drove all over the island. Hawaii is so beautiful. Unfortunately there’s a large homeless community in this area. There is a security guard on duty at this location. I highly recommend the experience.

Incredible ocean view
As in description, property was literally on the edge of the ocean with a sandy beach flanked by amazing lava cliffs. We were not prepared for the homeless camps adjacent to and on the beach along route. To be clear, we never felt threatened in any way and came to realize this is a scene across the two islands we visited and know that the owner has no control over the locations of camps. That said, would not hesitate to recommend and revisit property.

Away from it all..yes folks, you are on the beach@
True oceanfront! Well kept up condo complex with a security gate to enter. Very few people on this beach. Woderful for us. The view IS the ocean! This small complex is just that, a condo complex without the touristy stuff like lei making, open bars or restaurants on site. You feel like a local. Very nice! Only negative: lots of homeless camps along the Farrington Highway to get to it.

Friendly, clean and amazing sunsets
My husband and I recently had a relaxing stay here in Hawaii! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness of the place. It was spotless and well-maintained. The property was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed from beach chairs to snorkel gear to coolers, making our stay comfortable and convenient. You can tell Gerry has thought of everything. But what truly took our breath away were the stunning views. The property offered breathtaking vistas of the ocean. Every evening, we were treated to mesmerizing sunsets that painted the sky with vibrant colors. Keep in mind, this condo is on the west coast of the island and the west coast has become overwhelmed with homelessness. But that did not deter us from renting. This stay provided us with an unforgettable Hawaiian experience. It was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and soak in the beauty of Hawaii.

Dreamy view and sounds of the ocean
Just like what previous comments stated- area is older and tents lined up on beach for a few miles while driving in.. condo next to older residential area…HOWEVER.. property is gated and people are friendly.. we did not have any issues.. the view from the unit is totally worth it..Beware of the traffic- add at least 45 minutes on weekdays due to rush hours and location on northwest side of island .. I recommend taking a left turn out of the complex if you have time to explore.. the road goes for a few miles and dead ends into a beach park, but the ocean views from the road are spectacular, we pulled over a few areas for photo ops, and even found some tide pools

Great Beach and Great Owner
This property is on the west side of O'ahu, so less touristy and more local flavor. The property is in good shape and upkeep is good. The beach is great and was never crowded during our stay. The sun sets over the ocean here and is beautiful. We saw sea turtles and many fish. The owner is great to work with. Very helpful and responsive to questions and requests. The equipment closet is wonderful, with all the things you need for the beach, but didn't have room to pack! If we travel to O'ahu again, this will probably be our first choice if available.

This property is great especially if you just stay within the condo complex. Great food with 30-45 min drive. The beach was clean and never crowded. The condo itself was clean and well stocked with activities to do when not on the beach. Along with beach chairs, snorkel equipment, umbrella, and boogie boards.

Sunset, sand, beautiful crescent beach
The view from this condo is amazing with easy access to a beautiful beach and ocean made for swimming. The condo was clean and well equipped. The only downsides are the lack of good restaurants and multitude of homeless camps on the way to the condo. If you want to cook yourself, or eat fast-food, this place is great. We spent our days touring and ate out before returning to the condo for beach time and beautiful sunsets.
