A good place to stay when on a budget but wouldn't book again
A few things about this booking: 1. It's in an area of Oahu that isn't near anything else - however, we knew this when we booked and were okay with that! It had beautiful views and we felt very safe in the condo complex. There are a LOT of people experiencing homelessness on the beaches by the complex, so we didn't go to any of those beaches. 2. The unit is definitely older and a bit quirky. However, it had everything we needed - beach towels, cooking equipment, a good living room space, etc. The neighbors beside and above/below were super quiet - we didn't hear a peep from them! 3. Our most significant downsides were that the parking process was hellish - the guard shack was so slow, you had to check in with them and then also go into an office - and then do all of that again to get temporary passes if you were going to check out on the weekend. The host also BLASTED us with messages instead of putting information in the vrbo listing or a printed guide - he sent dozens of messages before we arrived with restaurant recommendations, beach recommendations, etc. Which was kind of him but a bit unnecessary and overwhelming. It made us miss some of the important information he sent because there were so many messages. All that to say! It was a great price and that is why we booked it. It was a beautiful drive out to the property. However, in the future, we'd pay the extra to stay somewhere on the north shore, on the west side, or just outside of Honolulu.
