This is an excellent beachfront property in an incredible setting, where the pleasing sound and view of the surf is just a few feet in front of you, 24/7.
Along with offering amenities everyone else has - such as beds, electricity and running water - the owner provides numerous additional, thoughtful amenities we valued, including air conditioning (which is appreciated given the western exposure), pub-height chairs on the balcony so we could easily see the awesome scenery over the railing (including beautiful, romantic sunsets every night), high-quality binoculars (which helped us see whales and many turtles), cable tv in the bedroom (along with cable tv in the living area), two nice beach chairs & boogie boards we were happy to use at Hapuna Beach, a small cooler (perfect for a holding a few cold drinks and a sub sandwich for our day at the beach), a first-aid kit that was needed a couple times during our stay, and ceiling fans that helped circulate the cool air.
This condo has been nicely updated, including a tile floor, stone counters, new plumbing fixtures, and an updated bathroom. We had much more than we expected at the condo, making it thoroughly enjoyable.
The condo complex offers several gas grills, which were very clean and easy to use, along with a nice hot tub, pool, and tables and chairs that were never too crowded to use.
