Great location and condo.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
Everything was perfect! The views overlooking the golf course and the ocean made for enjoyable cups of coffee and sunset cocktails! It was clean, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. We had an Instacart of groceries delivered. Having access to the Mauna Kea property was a plus. Communication with Polly was fantastic. We will definitely be back!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
We loved our week in Hawaii! We chose to stay in this area because of the resort access pass that we could purchase for Mauna Kea and The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort. It was great being so close to these beaches!The condo was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable. The property manager checked in with us during our stay and was very responsive. The views from the lanai were stunning.There are no grills in the unit nor on the property anywhere due to new insurance mandates.
