Great Island with a super little town of Kailua. The condo unit we stayed in was well located and we enjoyed every day spent there. A few things needed some attention such as the Television. It is of the old analog type and most of the time required turning it on several times before it would stay on and focus. This was not a problem for us as we used it only on two or three occasions. When we did have a problem (plumbing and a broken deck chair) Prince Properties handled it quickly and efficiently. Overall a great Hawaiian experience.
The view from the large lanai is awesome but the condo itself is a bit dated and comforters, etc. Had not been cleaned for a while. The big disappointment for us, however, was all the restrictions put on kids there. They can't have toys or play games in the pool and must be 14 to go in hot tub. People actually complained that our kids were in the hot tub and there was never anyone else at the pool area.
We did not like the decor of the funiture. It was pretty dated and used. The building is old and the doors and woodwork were not in really good condition. We tried to play tennis and there was a $25. refundable charge to get the key and play. However, it was impossible to get the key as office was always closed, no one there. That is rediculous to lock the courts and not have your own key to open it to play. Wish the pool was heated. The place was very clean though.
Overall it was nice. Unfortunately, they were working on the unit above us and woke up to jackhammers and men on the lanai 8 of the 16 mornings we were there. Kids liked the pool except they couldn't take any toys in the water.
This condo needs to be updated! The furniture is well worn, the carpets are gross looking - although they seemed clean, and if the person above you uses their AC, the condensation runs down to the ceiling of this condo and then drips onto the floor. We strategically placed towels so that the floor wouldn't get any more stained. If you bring food to the condo, keep it well sealed or in the refrigerator bc otherwise the ants will invade. All that being said, I would stay in the same condo again just for the lanai and view! They are amazing!! The grounds are also well maintained and beautiful. You can get in some open water swimming right off the rocks if you wish. It's only about 1.5 miles into the center of town, so an easy walk.
The WiFi service is terrible and needs to be improved
There was only one wash cloth in the unit - others were delivered later. Several plates were damaged beyond usefulness. The carpet needs a really good shampooing in all rooms. The remote control for the ceiling fan was not visible. The faucet above the tub in the small bathroom was very difficult to operate. These were reported to the management in writing. Otherwise, the things that really matter like the view, location, lovely surroundings, were stunning. The wraparound lanai was wonderful. I have stayed in the above unit, 6102 for several years so I know this property very well.
We had a great time. It was the first time to Hawaii and the first to rent a condo. It has all the comforts of home, quiet, super clean and the Lanni was great. We watched every sunset while we were there. Would be great for kids too.
Be back next year !!
Excellent Location! Well equiped unit. The grounds, pool and spa were very well taken cared. Would definitely recommend it and would rent it again. Aloha!
