Our family of four, stayed here 2 weeks late July and enjoyed it emensely. The photos are accurate but don't incorporate all that this condo/resort has to offer. Soon the resort will open it's phase two and the large ohana pool with caves, lazy river, slides and waterfalls will be open. The owner and his local property manager were fabulous to work with. The property was new, clean, and the grounds are well maintained. The beds were very comfortable. Glass patio doors fold open like accordian so the whole expanse/ wall opens up. It is wonderful to have ocean view dining and sunsets every night. They had lots of hangars between 3 closets wich is an added plus. The owner provided small cooler, portable beach chairs, sand toys, basic snorkle gear, and two very nice boogie boards for guests to use. Since this area is still under construction the resort has some vacant land around it. We personally loved this as we felt we had the beach all to ourselves. Friends of ours were staying at one of Fodor's top ranked condo locations also on Ka'anapoli Beach. They came over to swim on the beach and grill out with us for the day and made the comment how much better our location/condo was. The I-pod docking station was great in kitchen area. We could play our own relaxing dinner music while we lesiurely cooked, sipped on wine, ate on lani and watched sun go down. Washer and dyer are stack set and smaller size, but work well so long as a person does not overfill. The cons definately don't override the pros of staying here. You might want to pay extra for housekeeping, the place is so new and with the construction nearby the lanai would get dusty. Despite the construction the room was quiet, no worries there, just be prepared to wipe table off on lanai and sweep dust from lanai floor. Also, the Resort is attempting to have owners rent through them instead of owner direct. Some services such as underground parking, beach towel exchange at the pool will not be readily available to an owner's guest. The parking is surface lot and very close. Owner provides some beach towels. As owner's guest, you can't really charge to your room like in hotel. No worries, they will gladly take cash or credit card for poolside happy hour. The grocery store is close but a stop at Costco near the airport will save money. The beach at property is good for swimming and snorkeling. Our favorite activities were snorkeling, hiking to waterfalls, the drive to Hana and surfing. Mahalo!
