Makaha holiday condo

This is our last night at this gorgeous condo. We watched the sunset every night from our lanai and went to sleep listening to the waves crashing on the beach right outside our window. There is not much better than tanning on the beach, steps outside your condo, swimming in ocean to cool off, then walking back upstairs to take a shower to get all clean and relaxed. Being on the leeward side of the island, even when it was overcast and raining on the North Shore and in Honolulu, it was sunny and clear at our condo; we barely had a reason to leave. We had an issue with the neighbors downstairs playing their music too loud but when we emailed Shelley (condo owner) about it, she called us within 5 minutes appalled. She was here 5 minutes after that with security, found out where it was coming from and said she'd speak with security and the condo manager to get it taken care of - 15 minutes the music was down and we barely heard anything the rest of our stay. We didn't even get service like that when we stayed at Turtle Bay. The condo is a bit far from everything else on the island - only one main road to and from the condo - about 1 hr to Waikiki/airport, 1 hr to the North Shore (no you really can't drive around the NW tip; the maps lie), or 1.5 hrs to the Windward side. But the condo was a great base even so - anywhere you stay would be about the same except here you get your own, almost totally empty beach ourside (and down elevator from) your door, and a beautiful condo. Shelley's provided so many nice amenities that made it feel like home and let you focus on relaxing. Mahalo & Aloha!
