Great location!

We had a great stay at this property and it served as a terrific home base for exploring all over the island. It is a very short walk to the shops and restaurants in Kapa’a. It is an easy drive to the north or south shores. It is right on the bike path for walking, running, or biking. Perfect for what we needed!

Nice Condo - Nice Location

The condo is a bit dated, but was clean and comfortable. My family had a good time and were happy with the condo. The location right on the ocean was fabulous. And, it is just a block and a half from most of Kapa'a town, which was super convenient. Do note, the reference to three beds includes a sofa bed in the living room.
