Island Life Retreat-Ocean Front-Beach Access

BEACHFRONT* GROUND FLOOR *WALK-OUT
The white sandy beach is reef-protected and offers a quiet, serene, authentic Hawaiian paradise experience. The turquoise warm water is perfect for swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing. Easy snorkeling right in front with lots of tropical fish and sea turtles.

Enjoy your morning coffee while watching magical sunrises on your ocean front patio. Relax on your lanai and listen to waves gently breaking on a distant reef. Plenty of space in this 812 sq. ft. recently remodeled, 1 bedroom condo on the ground floor to relax and unwind. Being on the ground floor, you have more open spaces just outside of your private lanai. The condo is fully equipped with everything you will need for a memorable Hawaii Island getaway.
You will have ''No Worries'' as the locals say...only to decide if you are going to spend the day on the beautiful private beach outside your lanai or go for a scenic drive along the coast to do some sightseeing. There is no public beach access so the beach will feel very private and a true getaway from all the crowds.

You will have the choice to sleep in the bedroom on the king size Sealy Plush bed, or in the front room listening to the waves and waking up to see the Sunrise from the queen size Serta Euro-Top Murphy Bed.
Recently remodeled amenities includes stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinets, counter tops, rattan furniture, linens, dishes & silverware, cookware, beach towels & mats, beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, 2 coolers, 2 lounging chairs, binoculars, and much more.
There is almost always a nice breeze blowing through the condo due to the trade winds, but for those who like a fan...there’s 2 ceiling fans with remotes and a pedestal fan, you will feel the ocean breeze will be very comfortable. AC unit in the living room to help you stay cool durning the warmer days.
Beach chairs, beach towels, full kitchen with all kitchenware, linens, towels, single keurig with starter coffee pods, washer/dryer.

Free parking and 24 hour security. Free wifi and cable. Currently, the building is undergoing renovation, constructions during weekday business hours 8:30 am-5pm Monday- Major renovations are done in our unit and updated lanai complete. Current constructions still on going in other parts of the building. If you are out exploring, or hanging out on the beach, it shouldn’t affect your experience. FYI, the current discount rate is due to construction and is a great value. This is truly a beach front condo with all the amenities to have a nice relaxing island vacation. If you are looking for luxury and resort accommodations with spa services, this is not it. The Property is 10 minutes away from Polynesian culture center, and Kualoa ranch, and 5 minutes away from Hauula-loop trail, 20 minute from Turtle Bay, and 45 minutes from the Airport.

Great location with some disappointments - no internet or pool access

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.

Kim was our host and she was dynamite.The condo is dated but so what? You're on the ground floor and literally 25 yards from the water.We had one sea turtle come up and took a 15 hour nap on the sand right at one of the steps. He finned his way back to the water overnight.The only foot traffic is from this condo complex. The dryer dries waaaay fast and the freezer freezes almost as fast.There's an O.G. store - Ching's - two minutes down the road with bare essentials as well as liquor. Very close to them is Kaya's Store. Not good, but inside the store is Kaya's Kitchen with some huge breakfast dishes. This is where you should get your Loco Moco. You gotta do this if you're in Hawaii. You don't have to get a Loco Moco here, but you gotta get it somewhere. The only downside - and it's the only downside - is that there's no AC. Just two ceiling fans and three stand up fans. We would just move the fans into the bedroom at night, take a quick ocean dip, go in and take a cold shower and hit the hay. And we did this during the hottest month of the year out here, thanks to NCL canceling our May cruise for routine maintenance. But that's a whole other story. Get this condo. You won't be sorry.

Great beach just steps away from condo

I would stay again. Very casual and equipped with snorkeling gear. Definetely could use simple blackout curtains for the person who sleeps on the daybed or expect to be up at 6am. The one bedroom is great and big and dark but we had to switch off who got the bright room and up with the rooster! With black out curtains - I give it a 9, otherwise still a 8!

Unmatched scenery

If you are looking to get out of the touristy Waikiki I highly recommend this place. It came with everything you need to have a fun couple days on the beach and a nice deck to escape the sun. This is a more “country” part of the island so don’t expect a perfect resort. But it was clean and cozy. I would definitely come back.

Wonderful piece of paradise

This property was perfect for wanting to be on the beach and away from the city. It was close enough to get to anywhere on the island within 45 min to an hour. The scenery was picturesque and the condo was in great condition and clean. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic

The property is very close to the beach where turtles sun bathe every morning. We also saw a monk seal playing in the water, and we were only there 2 nights. The ocean was very calm and crystal clear. There is a box with snorkel gear on the porch, plenty of beach towels and beach umbrellas. The kitchen is stocked with pantry basics and much more compared to many rentals I have stayed in.

This older but clean, cozy, fully stocked, lovely condo without all the fancy amenities was perfect for us. We loved being on a private beach with quaint towns and shopping nearby. Host was very responsive to our needs and questions.

oahu vacation

Over all this is a good place to stay. Our condo was on the ground level. It was right by where everyone gets there mail, Keys ect. the bedroom was is the front where everyone seems to congragate, right out side the bedroom window. It was very LOUD ! people talking, and slamming there doors, no privacy. I did see a sigh on the building that said quite but people seemed to ignor it. Could of used better airconditioning other than fans.Wish I would of known about the construction on the building that was going on. But overall it was a nice place to stay with beautiful views !!!

Nice private beach. Bring food not much close by to eat. Get up early see the sunrise and walk about 75 feet out your back door to the beach. The turtles come up and night and sleep on the beach. Unit is in nice condition. Building is being renovated.

Private beach

We loved the place. It was well stocked with everything you need for the beach & cooking. The location is prime - out of the crowds and essentially a private beach with clear swimmable water that you walk out to. It’s not a new place or a fancy resort but it felt homey. We had come from the first half of our trip in Waikiki in a property managed by a business and it was a great 180 to switch to this place. Construction didn’t bother us at all. They started late in the morning anyway. The house was clean enough but it’s old, so it’s certainly not spotless.
