If you would like to be as close to the beach as you possible can, this is the place to stay. It is 10 feet from the sand. If you are not wanting a resorty feel, this condo at Kapa'a is a wonderful place to stay. Don't let the driveway/exterior fool you-it's basic. The elevator allowed us easy trips up and down from the third floor with our luggage, groceries and beach supplies. The condo has all the ammenedies for four people. The washer/dryer made our packing lighter and clean up from all our outdoor excursions easy. Air conditioning was not needed as the warm Hawaiian trade winds will blow through the unit, keeping you at a relaxed, comfortable temperature. Being on the third floor, the lanai affords panaramic views looking north and east. It is a wonderful place to relax, eat and watch the sunrise. The pool is easily seen from this vantage. The pool is on the small side, but adequate and was never crowded. There was an extra foam mattress that we used for our daughter who did not want to share the queen bed with her brother. The second bedroom has a triple sliding pocket door that opens up the space but allowing for privacy when used. The kitchen had many staples which we checked on before going to Safeway and then did not have to buy. There is an outdoor closet with 4 boogie boards, 2 beach chairs, a cooler and other such items that will make your beach trips more enjoyable. This gem will not disappoint.
