This was a perfect place for 2 or even 3! Ppl.
Great view of the north west side of Kaanapali beach. The unit was clean and cooking/eating utensils were sufficient. There’s no Carrie over or basic spices so you need to buy/bring everything if you’re planning to cook there.
Highly recommend!
Beautiful View, Wonderful resort, kitchen items not well appropriated
We had a wonderful stay. The resort and location are wonderful! Our only issue was that the unit we stayed in was not well appropriated for our stay. We had two butter knives, three forks, no pan for baking side dishes. there’s only three grill sheet type pans. While we enjoy eating out, we also enjoyed using the grills. I had to go to the store and buy some disposable tin pans to make some of our food. Also, could not run the dishwasher when it was full because I needed to hand wash utensils and dishes every time we ate. We did plan to have at least one meal a day in our unit. I feel as though they put just enough in the unit to qualify. If you don’t plan on doing any cooking, the unit does have an amazing view!

Awesome visit
Great location. Wonderful accommodations. Would definitely stay again!
Beautiful condo. It’s nice and clean and up to date. It comes with beach chairs and an umbrella. Close to everything we needed.. View was great! We had a problem with the internet but it was fixed quickly. I would book this condo again when we go back in a couple of years.
The condo was wonderful! It nice and clean and updated! View is great! I had everything I needed. Communication with the management company was wonderful. We had a small issue with the Internet and it got fixed right away . The condo comes with 2 beach chairs to use. We sat at the beach for 5 days! No complaints! I will book this condo again!
Wow! I can’t say enough about this property. It was in a fantastic location on the quiet side of the island. The beach in front of the house was beautiful and calm which made it a great place to hang out all day. Kaibo is directly across the street. We walked over there for dinner, and chartered a private fishing trip and stingray trip. The provided kayaks and bikes provided great transportation to Starfish Point. Rum Point is also a mile down the road. If I ever visit Cayman again, I would book this place without any hesitations. 10/10!
The ice maker is not working and the closest door doesn’t close. It would have been better to leave the door between the sinks and shower toilet area, or to put a pocket door in. As it stands now, if someone has to use the toilet, everyone else looses access to the sinks and closet. One other item. There are two controllers for the TV. The small one seems to control everything, I never could figure out what the big one did. If it does something a note describing how to use it would be helpful. If it doesn’t do anything, remove it.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Beware of air conditioning problem
Property was clean and inviting.
-Upon arrival we noticed it was pretty hot in our unit. I emailed and called several times regarding the situation as the thermostat never got below 74.
Further investigation lead to us finding our the door to the patio was too short and there was a 2-3” inch gap where hot air blew into the condo, and the wind whistled all 24/7. It could not be fixed. There was duct tape residue where it looked like someone tried to cover it up, so this was definitely a known problem beforehand.
They should have put this in the listing or not advertised it as an air conditioned unit. I spent my honeymoon uncomfortable the entire stay because of this and I would have booked another unit had I known.
