Great location and view from the lanai. The unit was spotless and we appreciated that it was fully stocked with all the essentials. The condo itself was comfortable, though it was showing some signs of aging. The complex was quiet, relaxing, and very well-maintained. It was a great place to call our home base for our trip! Would stay here again!

My wife and I have come to the IronMan World Championships for several years now as part of her affiliation with ART, and we always stay in rental properties rather than a hotel.This is a quaint spot with a terrific view and access to the shore via the adjoining property public access paths. The "beach" isn't a sand beach, it's volcanic rock that leaves fabulous tide pools to view wildlife like crabs and fish. Lots of mudskippers and tropical fish in the pools. For two people the space is excellent. The kitchen is equipped well enough you can cook for yourselves with no major tools missing. The layout is great, isn't cramped, but is cozy, especially for two.The only drawback we had with this particular property is unlike other condos we've stayed in on Alii, this unit doesn't face into the prevailing October winds. That means a lot of days there isn't much opportunity to get the cross-breeze through the unit that you really want if you're like me and run "hot". The importance of this is like most places in Hawaii, there is no unit air conditioning (in case you haven't experienced that). The host does provide multiple fans which we made use of throughout our stay, without which I personally would have been pretty miserable b/c temps and humidity were high this year. So kudos for sure on that!Having an individual parking space assigned to the unit was awesome, and something that we haven't seen much, and it's a huge help during race week for sure.

The condo area was quiet, and we had a specific parking spot. The kitchen was well equipped but could use some new knifes. The pool was very nice with lots of places to sit and it had some tables with umbrellas. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty bath towels as well as beach towels. We would stay here again.
Wonderful view from the lanai!

Love how you can hear and see the ocean from all the winodws, including the two bedrooms. Love how the condo was equipped with everything you could possibly need, fully stocked kitchen, cooler, snorkel and fins, beach chairs, etc. Love how big the lanai was with a perfect ocean view.

This place was wonderful. Listening to the waves was very peaceful. It was quiet and relaxing. Was able to do practice my yoga on the balcony. It was clean and well maintained. Had all your kitchen basics. My only issue was that the stove needed an update and living room cushions could use some sprucing up. Overall, a fantastic stay.

We have stayed in many places along Ali'i Drive, and this unit is the best for value and a spectacular view. The large lanai (seats 6) looks straight down to the surf, with a panoramic view to the south. It's furnished comfortably, with lots of cooking staples in the kitchen. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. We'll be back.

Great location! Minor items that should be addressed are more zip lock and kitchen garbage bags in order to get rid of food waste and garbage on a daily basis (required in this climate to keep pests away). Other than that, it was all good. Would stay at this unit in the future.
Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Mar 2026
We are very happy you were using the zip lock bags as this is important. Although, I don't think you need to empty the garbage every day, but that may depend on how many people are there and what you eat. If you needed more bags, you should have called the on-island contact person. They could have given you some more. However, the supplies we provide are to get you started, not intended to last the entire stay. We are not a hotel. It says that in our arrival notes. In any case, so sorry your expectations were not met.

The owners were very helpful and we never had to talk to the property manager. The place was very nice, comfortable, and clean. I did not have to rewash anything in the kitchen. The lanai and view was wonderful and we used it a lot. We did a lot of walking and driving. We did not use the pool so cannot comment on that.

Lovely stay!

We had a lovely stay! Beautiful lanai to spend hours on in the early morning waiting for everyone else to wake up (4 hour time difference). Had everything we needed. The pool was wonderful and the location was perfect for us as we like being far enough away from the main area's hustle and bustle but close enough for quick trips when needed. Would definitely stay again!
