Luxury Beachfront Condo with Ocean View

The view of the ocean was the only positive for this condo. The A/C consists of portable indoor units which are very noisy. The mattress on the bed was very thin and uncomfortable, as were the pillows. There is a lot of construction on site for building maintenance and so the parking lot is a mess. We had to park a quarter of a mile down the street. Walking to and from the car was dangerous and inconvenient, as the road is busy. The lock boxes are in a very poorly lit hallway. Other than towels, no beach supplies were provided. Did not enjoy the stay.

The view is amazing!!! Can't really get any closer to the water for the price point. We traveled with two of our adult kids who shared the bunkbed room with each other and they said the beds in there were super comfy. Our bed in the living room was doable. Loved that the unit had AC and even a few extra fans which kept the place nice. We didn't actually cook any meals but the kitchen seemed decently stocked. Nice to have enough bath towels and TP waiting for us without having to run to the store first. Parking was great and checking in and out couldn't be any easier. Communication with the host was fast and always pleasant. The beach in front was nice but not that great for snorkeling if you are expecting to see a lot. Did see a few turtles swim by when standing on the balcony but not any while in the water or on the beach. Kaya's Kitchen is within walking distance for breakfast, lunch and dinner and pretty good! Seems like most of the food places nearby start closing at 5, 6 or 7pm. If you're hungry after that, you can always eat at 7-Eleven. Haha. If you see a sign on the road for fresh sugar cae juice, stop and get some. That was delicious! The Butter Mochi at Ching's Store down the road is yummy and highly recommend. The clerks in there are great! All in all, we loved the location and prefer the countryside of the North Shore over Waikiki any day. Gives the relaxing vibes of island life. Did I mention the view was amazing?! Haha! Will definiately be back! THANKS!

The condo unit was in good condition while the entire complex was being renovated. Overall had a great time! Good location and value with a beautiful view!

Right on the beach, beautiful views

We chose this condo based on its location on the beach. It had breath taking views. We came home one day to no water but were able to contact the host and he was prompt with a reply and to elaborate on the issue. Condo was clean. Communication was great! Would most definitely book here again when we want a little piece of paradise.

We sought a North or East Shore vacation spot with ocean views and booked this property. Initially concerned about its age, built in 1975, and highway-facing exterior, we discovered paradise on the other side.Our unit had 1 bedroom (which had bunk beds we didn’t use) and a main living room where where we slept. It was a large unit with plenty of space - a full kitchen, washer & dryer and a bathroom with shower. 24-hour security and a special fob for the elevators ensured our privacy.The crown jewel is the balcony, the view, and the beach below.
A large balcony with views that stretch out to sea. We spent hours each day on the beach— morning, noon, and night. It was wonderful having such easy access to this beautiful beach. We love to snorkel, but due to the waves this time of year, we’re limited on Oahu on the east and north shores to safe spots. However, Punalu’u has an offshore reef that takes the force of the waves so that smaller, safe waves reach the beach. There still were several spots with a number of beautiful fish, and we absolutely loved swimming (a safe distance) from the green sea turtles that frequent this beach.While not necessarily the “Ritz” in terms of architecture or resort amenities, this property has such a beautiful location with a beach that allows an idyllic Hawaiian vacation.

Great location and beautiful scenery

It was great. the access to the beach was great. The location was great for many things we wanted to do. I would recommend adding a few more kitchen utensils like a whisk, wooden spoon and more forks. Beds were comfortable.

The property and condo are stunning, and we loved the immediate access to a wonderful beach just steps from the condo. Although we did have a couple of issues arise, the host was quick to respond, and addressed the problems timely. 5 stars for sure!

We loved the view it was beautiful! There was some construction but they refunded us 15% for it and it wasn’t a big deal. It was well compensated. Multiple nights we saw 25 sea turtles sleeping on the beach. It was pretty magical. We saw many as we snokled as well. There was pretty good snorkling to the North side of the beach. The beach was quiet and really close to food trucks and the north shore. The AC was really nice.

Can’t even say how awesome this location is! Turtles on the beach every night and early morning, great snorkeling and just so beautiful. The unit is very nicely updated with everything you could need. Tons of beach toys for the kids. This location is so perfect on Oahu too because you are close enough to windward beaches and also very close to north shore beaches but not in the direct traffic and chaos of those areas.

Great location, easy beach access, wonderful condo.

Three place was nice and updated and clean. The best thing about our stay here was the beach area was amazing! It felt like a private beach and the water had a lot of space for snorkeling.

Fantastic location!!! Very accurate with the great view and the opportunity to see turtles. Had enough bed space for 5 adults. Space was great for being able to travel with older adults as well. Yes the apartment could become warm when running the dryer during the day and the AC was not as strong as in the mainland. BUT they still work and we never were overheated. After all it’s a beautiful island where the sun was beautiful.

Great location. We were able to get all over the island easily and the property allowed peace and quit when wanted. The construction on the property was not an issue at all. View of the ocean was fabulous. The condo was very comfortable and accommodating to our needs, with 5 people.
