The good:
The condo is very tastefully decorated, definitely a good Hawaiian vibe.
The property is well equipped with bbq areas everywhere (one just below the condo but not noisy at all during our stay), a pool, locked gates with a code to access, garbage disposals far from the condos and an elevator.
The condo is an end unit and the lanai has a view of the ocean. There is one unit above it (3rd floor out of 4) but we were not bothered during our stay.
The condo has a lot of beach stuff: chairs, umbrellas, snorkel equipment, 3 coolers, and even a fishing pole!
The condo has 2 zone A/C and it works very well, keeping us not too hot during our summer stay.
The A/C compressor is on the lanai, blowing hot air through a door allowing all our stuff to dry in a few hours, including our wetsuits and the rest of our scuba gear. Awesome.
The not as good:
There were like half a dozen remotes throughout the condo and probably twenty pages of document explaining how all the electronics work! I needed a vacation within my vacation just to digest that! Joke aside, maybe simplify a bit?
What's up with all white towels in the bathroom? Linens and towels are provided by the "resort", that's why. I felt it lacked a little bit of personal touch, considering the nice decor, that's sad.
I could not find a blanket for the sofa-bed. Used a beach towel instead. Not that you really need it when it's 80 at night...
There is a bird nest in the fan/light on the lanai. We thought we committed bird-icide when we turned it on... But no, the birds are OK, including 3 babies...
I'd recommend adding a box of 1 Qt ziploc bags. Those are awesome for picnics.
The elevator failed twice in 6 days.
The not good:
The "guest" shower does not reach the floor, it's hard to rinse off the lower part of your body. It should be adjusted.
The resort did not do a very good job at cleaning the place. There was quite a bit of dry food marks on the (very nice) kitchen granite counter-top when we arrived.
There is a $31 per person "resort registration fee" upon arrival. All they did was giving us a code for the grounds gates. We did not use any of the other services (including the free breakfast). The owners let us know about it 15 days prior to arrival. This is mentioned nowhere in the condo description on VRBO. It should.
