About this apartment rental
BEACHFRONT • GROUND FLOOR • WALK-OUT WITH VIEWS
Step straight from your ocean-view lanai onto a quiet stretch of white sand—your own authentic Hawaiian paradise. The reef-protected turquoise waters are calm and perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply floating in the warm Pacific. Bring your snorkel gear and snorkel right in front of the condo to spot tropical fish and sea turtles, or enjoy the serenity of a private beach with no public access, away from the crowds. The turtles sleeps on our beach at night, just left of the lanai looking towards the ocean.
Newly Renovated for Your Comfort
This beautifully refreshed condo features new flooring throughout, an extended bathroom, a sleek kitchen countertop, and brand-new living room furniture—all designed to make your stay as comfortable and stylish as possible.
Your Island Escape
This well-appointed 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo offers 812 square feet of space to relax and unwind. Being on the ground floor means easy walk-out access, open green space, and unobstructed ocean views. Start your mornings with coffee on the oceanfront patio, where magical sunrises light up the horizon, and end your evenings to the soothing sound of waves breaking on the distant reef.
Inside, enjoy ocean views and refreshing trade-wind breezes from both the kitchen and living room, creating a bright, open, and relaxing atmosphere. For warmer days, the living room includes a window AC unit, and ceiling fans throughout the condo keep the space cool and comfortable.

Bedroom: King-size Sealy Plush bed
Living room:
• Queen-size Serta Euro-Top Murphy bed with sunrise views and ocean sounds
• Comfortable sofa bed for additional guests

Please Note
Our ground-floor unit’s repiping is fully complete, but construction is still ongoing in other units and may temporarily affect shared areas such as the parking area. At this time, guests are parking on the side road or across the street at Kaya’s between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM. There will be front spots available for loading and unloading.
Guests still enjoy direct beachfront access, ground-floor walk-out convenience, and all the comforts of a newly renovated condo. Most visitors find that the ongoing work elsewhere has little impact on their stay, especially when spending time exploring the island or relaxing by the beach.
Why You’ll Love It
This is not a luxury resort with spas. It is a true beachfront condo with the comforts of home, ideal for travelers seeking peace, authenticity, and a genuine connection to the ocean. Come experience “No Worries” island living at its best.

My wife and I loved this room! Great beach access. Beach chairs, towels and more all provided. We felt so comfortable in this room.

We loved our stay - from the turtles on the beach, to being able to walk right out onto the lawn with the beach views, and having easy access to food trucks across the street, our stay was wonderful. We’re a family of four with two boys under 4 and the place fit us perfectly. We’ve been to Hawaii over ten times and this was by far the most convenient stay. You really can’t top walking directly onto the beach.

Loved our time here at this VRBO! Especially the privacy of the beach, being around the locals, and the location for all our excursions. The only thing that was tough was the lack of AC. Pro-tip: open the back AND front door to really get the breeze going! They stocked the place with bug spray, sunscreen, scuba gear, beach chairs, beach towels… it could not have been better! I did not want to leave. Definitely try and wake up early to catch the sunrise and turtles on the beach at least one of your mornings!

This property has a beautiful location, just steps away from a quiet, sandy beach. We enjoyed the peaceful sound of the waves, as well as evening strolls along the beach watching the sea turtles come ashore for the evening. The condo itself could use some updating, but overall had everything we needed. Unfortunately the pool was closed for the duration of our stay, and we could not access the internet after the first day of our arrival. Normally this would not be too much of a bother for our family since we love to explore rather than sitting poolside, but unfortunately for this trip, our teenaged daughter needed to sit some hikes out due to an ankle sprain. Having no internet/tv/pool made the days that she and her sister stayed behind long. Our biggest frustration was that we reached out to the host numerous times for advice on how to connect the internet, with no response. Likewise with questions about the pool. She still has not replied to our messages. Expect very poor communication if you experience a problem.
