3.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (465)
"The villas property itself was good, nice walking distance to the shops and Marriott where we went for a luau. The pool was on the smaller side but kids loved it. We stayed in one of the older units so it was dated which didn't bother me. The beds and pillows were extremely uncomfortable though. The utensils and items in the kitchen were very minimal. Only non-stick pans (which is fine, I can use them) but only a plastic flimsy spatula which was hard to use with the pans. My brother stayed in a...

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (22)
"We moved over to the condo after spending a week at our timeshare. The location is great. Lots of beach towels and bath towels. Kitchen is fully stocked. We did apricate all of the storage containers. We were able to park in the upper lot and not the underground. The air conditioning is great. Also, the screened in Lani was nice in the early morning for breakfast. We would stay here again."

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (14)
"This is a real find. The lanai opens up on a tranquil view of the mountains and the air is filled with birdsongs. During my stay, I sat on the lanai for hours and never heard a human voice. The condo was spotless and the kitchen well stocked. The bed was very comfortable. When I arrived I could not find an umbrella or chair and when I communicated with the management they answered immediately. Very very nice spot. "

9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (43)
"LOVED this condo! Fabulous location, we walked to see the sunset and eat downtown multiple nights. The pool was lovely - surrounded by beautiful plants and a quiet paradise in the middle of town (shallowest at 4ft so bring a life jacket for young kiddos). This place worked great for our 9-yr-old to stay on the couch and my spouse & I to stay in the bed. Had everything we needed in the kitchen. Really appreciated the coolers and drying rack provided as well. The property owners were very...
