So, there is a common saying with People who live in Hawaii, which is "you don't move to Hawaii for the house", why? Cause homes are really expensive and you normally don't move someplace expensive unless you really want to be here, thus, the real reasons. The weather, the ocean and all that comes with it, the breezes, the flowers, I could go on, but you get the point.
To be as brief as I can, this is a relatively inexpensive villa on Oahu that is waterfront, both things are hard to find, let alone together. The villa is in a strict HOA managed community that is very well kept, beautiful, quiet and the residents keep it that way, so you're not gonna get away with anything here. The villa itself is smack dab, right on the ocean with beautiful views of both norther points of Oahu, Kaiena Point and Turtle Bay.
The villa is not what you come here for. The highlights are that it has adequate cooking pots/pans, dishes, etc. and it has a functional outdoor shower that is great and the mattresses, bedlinen and towels are comfortable and functional.
Downsides, the seating furniture is old, worn out and uncomfortable. They don't even have a lounge chair to sit outside under the shade of the nearby flowing trees. One of the best parts of a trip to Hawaii is a nap under the shade of a tree:) There is NO AIR CONDITIONING in the unit, which WILL TAKE a few days to get used to (I was stationed here in the military from 2002 - 2005) and once you get accustomed to it, it's lovely, but at first, it's hot. This unit also doesn't face the prevailing winds, so fans (of which they have a few old and wobbly) are absolutely necessary to fall asleep or to be indoors during the day.
Lastly, if you want to watch TV, it works, but it operates slowly like a 10 year old laptop that never had it's hard drive defragmented:)
For a place right on the water, in a quiet, clean, peaceful part of Hawaii with easy access to snorkeling, surfing and more on the North Shore, this place is great, but be ready to reset your expectations:). Aloha and Mahalo!
