Little slice of paradise

Aloha, if your looking for a wonderful island experience than I highly recommend checking out this amazing location. The room overlooks the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Just steps away from a pristine sandy beach. Cool ocean breezes. Wake to crashing waves and gorgeous sunrises. Looking forward to heading back there someday soon. Until then, enjoy this peaceful serenity.

Pictures are not reality

The small studio was even more crowded by a portable air conditioner in front of the sliding door with a makeshift board stuck in door for the vents. Loud and large. Nit mentioned in description. Too many emails with conflicting instructions. Request for early check in completely ignored.

Beautiful view

The place was in a fantastic location. Condo was clean the grounds were decorated with lots of plants. The rooms fan had a problem but they had air conditioning so it wasn't a problem to stay cool at night.
