Island Life Retreat-Ocean Front-Beach Access

BEACHFRONT* GROUND FLOOR *WALK-OUT
The white sandy beach is reef-protected and offers a quiet, serene, authentic Hawaiian paradise experience. The turquoise warm water is perfect for swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing. Easy snorkeling right in front with lots of tropical fish and sea turtles.

Enjoy your morning coffee while watching magical sunrises on your ocean front patio. Relax on your lanai and listen to waves gently breaking on a distant reef. Plenty of space in this 812 sq. ft. recently remodeled, 1 bedroom condo on the ground floor to relax and unwind. Being on the ground floor, you have more open spaces just outside of your private lanai. The condo is fully equipped with everything you will need for a memorable Hawaii Island getaway.
You will have ''No Worries'' as the locals say...only to decide if you are going to spend the day on the beautiful private beach outside your lanai or go for a scenic drive along the coast to do some sightseeing. There is no public beach access so the beach will feel very private and a true getaway from all the crowds.

You will have the choice to sleep in the bedroom on the king size Sealy Plush bed, or in the front room listening to the waves and waking up to see the Sunrise from the queen size Serta Euro-Top Murphy Bed.
Recently remodeled amenities includes stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinets, counter tops, rattan furniture, linens, dishes & silverware, cookware, beach towels & mats, beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, 2 coolers, 2 lounging chairs, binoculars, and much more.
There is almost always a nice breeze blowing through the condo due to the trade winds, but for those who like a fan...there’s 2 ceiling fans with remotes and a pedestal fan, you will feel the ocean breeze will be very comfortable. AC unit in the living room to help you stay cool durning the warmer days.
Beach chairs, beach towels, full kitchen with all kitchenware, linens, towels, single keurig with starter coffee pods, washer/dryer.

Free parking and 24 hour security. Free wifi and cable. Currently, the building is undergoing renovation, constructions during weekday business hours 8:30 am-5pm Monday- Major renovations are done in our unit and updated lanai complete. Current constructions still on going in other parts of the building. If you are out exploring, or hanging out on the beach, it shouldn’t affect your experience. FYI, the current discount rate is due to construction and is a great value. This is truly a beach front condo with all the amenities to have a nice relaxing island vacation. If you are looking for luxury and resort accommodations with spa services, this is not it. The Property is 10 minutes away from Polynesian culture center, and Kualoa ranch, and 5 minutes away from Hauula-loop trail, 20 minute from Turtle Bay, and 45 minutes from the Airport.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a fitness center or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Over all this is a good place to stay. Our condo was on the ground level. It was right by where everyone gets there mail, Keys ect. the bedroom was is the front where everyone seems to congragate, right out side the bedroom window. It was very LOUD ! people talking, and slamming there doors, no privacy. I did see a sigh on the building that said quite but people seemed to ignor it. Could of used better airconditioning other than fans.Wish I would of known about the construction on the building that was going on. But overall it was a nice place to stay with beautiful views !!!

Nice private beach. Bring food not much close by to eat. Get up early see the sunrise and walk about 75 feet out your back door to the beach. The turtles come up and night and sleep on the beach. Unit is in nice condition. Building is being renovated.

Private beach
We loved the place. It was well stocked with everything you need for the beach & cooking. The location is prime - out of the crowds and essentially a private beach with clear swimmable water that you walk out to. It’s not a new place or a fancy resort but it felt homey. We had come from the first half of our trip in Waikiki in a property managed by a business and it was a great 180 to switch to this place. Construction didn’t bother us at all. They started late in the morning anyway. The house was clean enough but it’s old, so it’s certainly not spotless.

nice sandy beach....big condo complex ..not much privacy....construction noise was unbearable
for what we paid for the place, i expected a lot more as far as privacy...its a well appointed unit in a condo complex with all sorts of coffee and sauces that are nice so you don't have to go out and buy them....i guess either i didn't pay too much attention to the listing or maybe it wasn't listed quite accurately but for some reason i had the impression this was a unit in someones house, not a giant condo complex under major renovation..when the jack hammering started it was unbearable inside our unit.....once the construction ends the place would be ok if you want to travel all the way to hawaii to be dwelling in like a employee housing project...also, the people that moved into the unit next to us moved out immediately when they saw scaffolding outside their unit and the jackhammering started.....would never stay here again

Great location
Amazing location right on the beach, it was so nice to just walk out of the apartment and see paradise. The space was great, kitchen well stocked, Murphy bed was a big hit. There are a lot of beach and pool gear to use, and being right next to the beach and sand made it so easy. The breeze in the evening was amazing, and waking up to sunset was lovely. Kim was responsive and helpful, and would totally stay here again!

Great Condo!
We were looking for a quiet stay, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and this was perfect! The condo was well appointed with all of the things we could need. All of the items we needed for the beach (towels, boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, grass mats etc) as well as everything necessary to cook a great meal. We were absolutely comfortable here and hope to return.

Paradise @ the Beach
Our stay was very nice & relaxing. The private beach & beach access were amazing. Our unit was clean and comfortable. The location to local coffee shops and restaurants was great! The only real complaint was sliding door to access lanai and beach did not lock (no key) when we left the unit to go to the beach we closed the main sliding door-if we left all day there was a large wooden dowl we placed in the door track. There is security on site 24/7 which was nice. The unit is also on the 1st floor (which was great for easy access to the unit, parking lot & BEACH!) of a larger building. The building is also under renovation so there was construction going on around us during the week days - we went out & about quite often as well as accessed the Beach every day-so the noise was tolerable. There is also a pool basically right outside and to the right of lanai - it was nice and people were swimming- Overall it was a very nice stay.

We loved this super clean, user-friendly condo right on the beach. We saw sea turtles on our sunrise walks and afternoon swims, and we had everything we could have needed. My 6’4” son slept on the Murphy bed, no problem. And we want to buy Kim’s brand of sheets! :)

Our stay was amazing. The condo was equipped with everything imaginable. Size was perfect for myself, adult son and teen. We had plenty of room still. Once you open the front door the view is amazing. There was some construction going on in the outside but we looked beyond since we were in paradise. Kim the management was great and helped us with all questions

Staycation
This was the perfect location to get away from the hustle and bustle of Oahu. It’s right on the beach. The lawn is well manicured. The beach is nice and sandy with no public access so it seems secluded. There is AC in the unit which allowed us to keep the sliding door closed and keep noise out. The unit is well stocked with bedding, towels, beach gear, kitchenware, charcoal bbq supplies, even seasonings. My only qualm is that the bedroom window is next to a frequented hallway. So if you’re a light sleeper, this might be an issue. Ear plugs did the trick.

Lovely and well equipped stay
As others have said the building is under renovation. Our first morning there was a Friday and the crew showed up but it was raining too hard. Then the weekend so we did not have work going on while we there. We did have scaffolding in front but it didn't spoil the view or our time on the lanai. The unit is lovingly decorated and very well furnished in both the kitchen and beach equipment. The king size bed was quite comfortable, the murphy bed not as much. But the separation of space was ideal for my sister and me. Lots of extra bedding available. Small bathroom but the shower was lovely. It is an older building so don't expect perfection but it was super nice. Nice location from which to explore the North Shore and the Polynesian Cultural Center. We would stay again.
