Our return to this rental was even better than our first trip! The amenities as listed were still in place and we found a bit more functionality in the kitchen's basic outfitting. While construction is ongoing, we found very little of it disturbed our stay and the workers were all very nice and professional. Our host was as amenable as ever and the other guests and residents were a delight to encounter. We'll be back again and hopefully soon!! Mahalo!!

While the inside of the condo was updated, clean and nice, the entire condo building was a construction zone and we were even informed upon arrival that construction would occur outside our condo, so we would either have to be out of the unit from 8:30am-3:30pm or we would be stuck inside all day. Additionally, there was a flyer in the elevator stating that all water would be shut off for one day and we would need to make sure we had sufficient drinking water on hand, would not be able to shower, flush the toilet, etc. NONE of this information was mentioned in the listing and this construction has been going on for months. The condo served it's purpose, but the owners definitely need to be more honest/transparent about what is going on at the property.

I became home less due to construction high level noise, I had to get out of my rental from 8am to 5pm daily. The owners not even share with me about the major construction going on from the many months after booking this mini vacation. At 61 years old I hoped to relax in peace enjoying the beach and my rental, but that did not happen,so sad.

This was a wonderful place to stay for my husband and I! The unit was clean, well stocked, and matched the photos. The area felt very safe and secure. The building has a lovely common area with lots of shade, tables, and chairs plus recliners to relax in. It was so great to have a quiet, sandy beach with calm water just steps away. The beach was never crowded and the beach access was easy. The views from the lanai are beautiful and amazing! We watched whales spouting and saw an incredible moonrise one evening. There are two items to consider. First, if you are short like me (5’1”), you cannot see the ocean when sitting down either on the chairs on the lanai or the furniture in the living room. This is because the lanai wall facing the ocean is solid rather than having railings as the units above do. I would imagine if you are tall (6’+), this would not be an issue. If you have small kids, the solid wall might be just what you want. Second, the building is older and being renovated. There was a considerable amount of construction noise during the day, but none at night or on the weekend. We just headed to the beach or the common area when it was noisy. Neither of these items are dealbreakers for us and we are thinking about a return trip next year.

Nice location would have been nice to know in advance about renovations going on while there. Very loud could not have a conversation in the unit between 8 and 4.

Perfect beach getaway stay on the North Eastern Shore of Oahu! The location is wonderful, assuming you don't want to be in Waikiki. Having the ocean and very nice beach a few steps away and an incredible view off your balcony. However, it would have been great if the furniture in the balcony is “bar height” so you can still enjoy the view while sitting. Paul, the property manager is very easy to communicate with.

We stayed a full week in unit 315. The unit was very clean and comfortable for us (2 people). Working with Paul, the unit manager was also great. We chose this area because we planned our excursions at the Polynesian Cultural Center, North shore, and Waimea Canyon. We spent just one day in Honolulu at the Arizona Memorial. We would consider staying here again if we were to revisit the NE shores of Oahu.

Our family of 4 had an amazing time here. Great location to get to North Shore and Haleiwa and easy drive south to Honolulu. Very clean condo with well appointed kitchen and good layout for sleeping. We had one teenager on the murphy bed and one on the couch. We appreciated the blender and all of the kitchen wear. The lanai was a great place to enjoy coffee in the morning and eat dinner when we were there. We only needed to use the air conditioning a few times when we were there, the windows allow for a great breeze. The beach and grounds were amazing, we even spotted a turtle while swimming there! There were some beach items available and we enjoyed to body board so much we bought another one and left it there, they also had snorkel gear available to use. Location was perfect and peaceful, Kaya’s has lots of great items and we enjoyed eating locally as well. Manager and owner were responsive to all of our questions, and even provided a shopping card for the local grocery store. We would love to come back again and make more great memories! A hui hou.

We loved having the ocean mere steps from the property. It was clean, quiet and comfortable.

The property is a bit tired and the floors and oven could use a good cleaning. The rooms are a good size (except for the bathroom) and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen and linen closet are well stocked. The property manager was very accommodating.

Refrigerator smelled like fish so bad, everything we put in it came out smelling. Ran out of garbage bags, coffee pot still had coffee in it from previous renters.

We had a great time staying at this condo! Wonderful views right on the beach. The location is really great. With the cool breezes when the balcony door is open, you really do not need the air conditioner on all of the time. Condo was well stocked and felt big. Nice sized master bedroom. Parking was not a problem for us. Only suggestion is to put drapes or blinds on the living room patio door. Although it is dark enough at night that sleeping in that room was really no problem. Paul is quick to respond if you have any issues. Beautiful condo and a great area to see the locals. Also it is located not far from either the Polynesian Cultural Center or the Kualoa Ranch. This is a wonderful peaceful retreat!

Older property but inline with other properties in the area. Would definitely return. Manager prompt and helpful.

Loved our extended Hawaii vacation at Pat's at Punaluu Unit #315. We extended our vacation after doing the Cruise around the islands. This was a great transition after being in a cruise cabin for a week! Large unit with updated kitchen and bath area, comfortable king size bed, and beautiful ocean views. Although the wall obstructed the view during breakfast coffee, the grassy area right by the water more than made up for it. Loved the closeness to all the activities of the North Shore! Even though there are not many restaurants close-by, the area does have options. And the beaches are absolutely awesome! Nothing like seeing mountains out your front door, and the ocean from the back balcony! One suggestion I would make would be to change the check-out time to 10:00. The main site shows it as 11:00, but the check-out directions state 10:00.

We really enjoyed our stay! Phillip’s place had everything we needed! The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen had lots of plates, glasses, silverware, and pots/pans. It was so nice to have the beach right at our doorstep! My only wish is that there was curtains in the living room to block the sun from coming in in the morning so we could have slept a little later. Other than that tiny hiccup, everything was lovely and we’d definitely come again! Aloha and mahalo Phillip! Also, Paul, the property manager, was there to greet us and let us in to the condo. He was very nice and a phone call away if we needed anything!

I've stayed at the property multiple times but this was the first time in this unit. I won't comment on the general location, building and beach/etc as there are many comments out there. Specific to this unit, the property manager was responsive and quick on arrival. The unit was clean, well furnished, and the kitchen well set-up for cooking. The Murphy bed was in good shape and the benefit over a hide-a-bed was the space and convenience. The property owner is quick with emails and questions. It made a great home-base for a week of outdoor fun for our family. If you are trying to decide between properties in the building, take a serious look at this one. We'd return without hesitation.

We had a peaceful, quiet stay in Hauula. Unit had all of the necessary beach items and comforts of home. Property manager was helpful and had good communication. We spent a lot of time driving around the island due to the location but the condo met our main goal of relaxing. The gym is small but we didn’t need it with the direct access to the beach. Like other reviewers, I would recommend some taller chairs on the lanai so ocean viewing is easier. Thank you for your hospitality!

The condo is beautiful. Separate bedroom & a Murphy bed for the kids. The beach was absolutely gorgeous. Ocean views while I prepared dinner in the kitchen. This side of the island is so green. The condo has everything we needed for a wonderful week stay. We would love to stay here again in the future. We enjoy the quiet side of the island. We could go visit busy Waikiki with about a 45 minute drive & then return to the condo for a quiet evening on the beach. Another short drive from the condo brought us to Laniakea. Beach where green turtle come on the beach to enjoy the sun. Three Table beach is also close by, if you enjoy snorkeling. We saw some turtles swimming in the ocean from the condo's beach. This was just perfect for what we were looking for. We give it 5 stars!

Overall I liked the location, nice and close to the beach and water of course! Nice inside including the cool bedroom. As I saw on here before I choose this place the 'cement wall' is a hindrance. Obviously, as you look at the pictures you should take that into consideration. Also it would have been nice to have a couple of comfortable lounge chairs to stretch out on. But Paul was helpful as was his sister.

Overall it was a good stay ! the property looks just like the pictures !! Only thing Is the patio was not very clean and the furniture out there was not great! In order to really be able to enjoy the patio area you need a barstool height chair to see over the cement wall and really be able to take in the amazing view !! We would of spent most of the time out there enjoying the view had we had better furniture ect.... Over all a great place to stay and Paul was very helpful and courteous.

We enjoyed our stay. It was clean, nice beds and good quality linens. Washer and dryer are a plus. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware. Note on the grocery store; drive the 10 miles to a larger store. The small stores have very little selections. I wish this unit didn't have a cement balcony railing, a metal,railing would have let us see the ocean better.
