We needed an 'easy' option for vacation with young kids. This condo was great, it had everything we needed and more. It was clean, quiet, and there was a lovely lanai - ocean sounds + sunsets galore! Good layout, easy parking, and laundry in suite. Staff on site were friendly and helpful. Our kids loved feeding the koi.
The pools are lovely, the beach is kid-friendly and protected, the path along the ocean is nice for a short stroll. Local restaurants were good though pricey. We loved having the 'instacart' option through the property management company so our groceries were already in the fridge when we arrived.
Hawaii is spectacular and you could stay in a tent and still enjoy it plenty. We appreciated the comfort/extra amenities given we were travelling with small kids.
To make this 6*, I would suggest:
1) making the 'being met by property management on arrival' optional. Everything is very straightforward so I think many families just don't need to be met. (We wasted a lot of calls/texts trying to coordinate and ultimately weren't met and it was fine!)
2) the appliances; they are high end but perhaps need some upkeep. The induction range is slow to heat up. The dishwasher does a terrible job, even loaded lightly (we have a similar model at home and it is great) - perhaps it needs to be cleaned?
3) set up the crib for families that request a crib
4) better mattress in M BR
Thank you for the great stay!
