Great location, easy self check in. I choose the property for easy self parking that was included in the price. No problem finding parking in the garage. A very nice touch was the 2 beach chairs and umbrella for the beach. This and parking are worth a lot. Very clean unit. Would book again for sure!

This property is not at all what it looks like in the pictures. Pictures show the unit to be very clean, modern and renovated. But in reality, it’s dated, smelly, had uncomfortable beds, creaky cabinets, overall very uncomfortable to stay in. I had booked this property for three nights, could not wait to check out. Reported the issue to the property manager, got a very non helpful, diplomatic reply. Even though location is nice, I would not recommend this property to anyone. It’s not worth the money. Instead spend a bit more and book something clean and updated.

This was the absolute best place to stay. The views were extraordinary. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, & grocery stores were an ease. Included parking was a life saver. The convenience of having a full size kitchen was awesome. This property went far and beyond our expectations. They even had two beach chairs we could use for the beach. I would give this property 10 stars if I could. Not one single complaint.

Even though there was no front desk at the property, communication from the Midway Vacations team regarding how to access our room and parking was excellent. They also answered questions that I texted during our stay within an hour. The room was clean, and the building was in a quiet and safe area with restaurants and shopping within walking distance. We found the keypad entry easy, as my partner and I would sometimes return to the room at different times. Having a spot allocated for building occupants in the parking garage was very convenient, as it can be hard to find parking on the nearby streets. Also having laundry facilities on the floor was a plus. We would stay here again.

Highly recommend! The self checkin and checkout process was very smooth. Lots of convenience for reasonable price - Lots of towels were given, laundry was available operable by some coins, closeness to the beach was there, barbecue and swimming pool was there as well, even beach hairs were given. The email communication I had with the service team to update my room passcode was also quite prompt and responsive - shoutout to Pattie. One possible minor improvement I can think of is for them to give an additional set of shower supplies - soap, shampoo and conditioner, just in case.

I did not like the banging construction noise coming from the neighboring unit. I specifically asked for a quiet unit in a quiet area but that was not the case especially when the laundry room is next to the unit. I did not like the dirty stains on the bed linens and living room furniture. I liked the location and parking.

チェックインの方法のメールが来ず、到着してすぐテェックインできず焦りましたが、素早くメールでやりとりしてくれ、何とかなりました。ただ、英語のみのやり取りになるので理解が大変でした。また、10日間の滞在中、一度も部屋の清掃もタオル交換もなく、自分たちでやるしかなく、それがコンドミニアムなのか、と痛感しました。

今回の旅行ではいつも泊まっているエリアと違う場所に泊まりました ダイヤモンドヘッドや海が見える部屋で、古いながらも広々とした清潔感ある部屋でした 「暮らすように」がテーマだったので、ありとあらゆるものが備えつけられていて大変満足いくものでした ただ一つ残念だったのは、各階にランドリールームがあってアプリで支払いも出来る大変便利な状況でしたが、洗濯槽に砂が溜まっていたのか洗濯した物が砂まみれになりました 1回目は偶然かなと思いましたが2回目も同様だったので洗濯するのは諦めました この点を除けば快適な滞在だったので、共有施設のリニューアル後はまた滞在したいと思います

We booked this property for 4nights stay for family of 3. I loved the location since it is close to the park, beach, shopping and dining. Each family member has different interests and this location satisfied everyone’s needs. The view from lanai was spectacular, and the price which covers the parking cost was fair. The Laundry was very smooth too. I will definitely stay here again.
