BEACHFRONT Condo OCEANVIEW -Quiet, SANDY Beach -Snorkeling, Free Parking, Extras

Our "Ocean Blue Paradise" is a BEACHFRONT condo with a beautiful, unobstructed OCEANFRONT view. On a quiet, sandy beach that is just steps away. Our beach is reef protected, meaning the waves break offshore, so the ones coming onto the beach are usually pretty calm. Making our part of the ocean good for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and fishing. It's especially good for small children.

You can often see big sea turtles sleeping on the beach, and swimming by. We enjoy beautiful sunrises in the morning, rainbows during the day, and moon rises at night. During whale season (November-April), we often see whales in the distance spouting and breaching. We love to sit on the lanai and watch the splendor the ocean has to offer us. One of our favorite things to do is snorkel right off our beach. We often swim with sea turtles who are feeding on the coral just off shore. We also love seeing the turtles sleeping on the beach during our nightly walks. Just be sure to be quiet, keep your distance, and don't shine a flashlight or use a flash when taking pictures.

Our condo is in a complex that sits on a quiet, sandy beach. There is no public beach access thru our property, so there are times when you practically have it all to yourself! Our complex is located on what they call the windward side of the island. We're halfway between Kualoa Ranch and the Polynesian Cultural Center, about 10 minutes from each one. We are away from all the traffic and congestion of Honolulu, in what they call the "true country" of Oahu. Yet we are still centrally located to many popular tourist attractions. You can hang out on our beach, or go to one of the many beaches or other destinations within 10-15 minutes of us. If you do decide to go to Honolulu, it is just a beautiful 45 minute drive, through the mountains and along the coastline, with many scenic spots along the way. We think you would come to love it on our side of the island as much as we do. Many of our guests, who have split their vacations with some nights in Honolulu and some in our condo, have told us they wish they would have just stayed in here the whole time. That, of course, makes us feel really good!

Our Ocean Blue Paradise is truly our idea of Paradise! Hopefully, it will become your Paradise, too! Many people have told us we have one of the best locations in the building because of our unobstructed view of the ocean, palm trees, and beach. Which you will have practically all to yourself, because there is no public beach access. The pool area is also just for residents, so it's usually pretty quiet. You will have ''No Worries'' as the locals say...only to decide if you are going to spend the day on the beautiful beach outside, or go for a scenic drive along the coast to do some sightseeing. We have a true 1-bedroom (not the small sleeping alcove some call a bedroom).

We hope you to enjoy our Ocean Blue Paradise, and come to love it as much as we do. Our goal is to have you walk in, take one look at the gorgeous ocean view, feel the Trade Winds blowing through, listen to the waves... and immediately relax & let all your stress start melting away. Close your eyes and imagine it now.... doesn't it sound wonderful?

We just purchased this condo and spent several months remodeling it. The kitchen was the most time consuming, but it was worth it because it was a labor of love. We just finished remodeling the whole condo, almost everything is new! We have new SS appliances, washer/dryer, cabinets, quartz counter tops, furniture, mattresses, linens, dishes, silverware, cookware, beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, a cooler, and much more. We also redid the bathroom by taking out the tub and replacing it with a beautiful walk-in shower.

We offer free high speed wireless internet(WiFi) and a free assigned parking place. We've tried to stock our condo with everything we could think of that you might want to make your stay in Paradise very enjoyable. Our policy is to try to give you with all the supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, regular soap, dish soap, laundry soap, etc) you will need for your whole stay, not just the starter packs most owners leave. We also try to keep a good supply of condiments, spices, snorkel gear, beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, and kid's beach toys on hand for you to use.

Even though you do not come on vacation to cook, I think you'll find you can save a lot of money by using our remodeled kitchen. And while you're cooking, you can look right out to the ocean and listen to the waves. It is fully equipped with whatever you should want to prepare a full meal, or to just make a picnic lunch to take with you on a sightseeing trip. We even have a cooler for you to put it in!

There are a few things we want to be sure you NOTICE, because the only surprises we want you to have are good ones:

1- THE BUILDING IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING SOME MAJOR RENOVATIONS. We want to be sure to tell you right from the start about the POSSIBLE CONSTRUCTION NOISE on weekdays, Mon-Fri from 9am-4:30pm (excluding Holidays). Most guests say it's not too much of an inconvenience because they are either gone sightseeing, or are out on the beach, during the day anyway. Due of the building's construction, you'll save money since we've discounted our prices lower than they normally would be.

2- There is an ADDITIONAL ONE-TIME $150 CLEANING FEE to be paid directly to our cleaning lady when the final payment is made.

3- We DON'T HAVE AIR CONDITIONING, neither do most of the condos in our building. Usually the trade winds blow through the condo so well that we are very comfortable without AC. We do have ceiling fans and a pedestal fans in the condo. But their are times when the trades do die down and it gets warm, especially in the Summer. We just want to be sure you've considered that.

Our condo will comfortably sleep up to 4 adults and 1 child (our third seeping spot is a twin size 3" foam throw down futon). Guests tell us they love being able to hear the ocean waves at night from our second bed, the queen-size murphy bed, because it's on the ocean side of the condo. We also have a king-size bed in the bedroom, which is on the mountainside of the condo. We love to sleep on the Murphy bed in the living room ourselves so the waves can lull us to sleep.

We have lots of dresser, closet, and cabinet space, so you will be able to unpack your suitcases and make yourself at home. We know some of you like to fall asleep listening to the TV, so we have one in the bedroom and one in the living room. We've tried to stock our vacation home with all the things we enjoy when we are traveling. You'll have the choice to sleep in the bedroom on the king size plush bed, or in the front room listening to the waves and waking up to see the Sunrise from the Murphy Bed. Then a child could sleep on the twin size futon, but it probably would not be comfortable for a teen. There is almost always a nice breeze blowing through the condo due to the trade winds, but for those who like a fan...we have ceiling fans with remotes and a pedestal fan.

We've hired the best cleaning person in the building so our guests can be assured the condo will be freshly cleaned and ready for you to enjoy. Whether this is your first trip to Paradise, or you are a return visitor, we think you would also find the binder we have put together very helpful. It shows local restaurants, grocery stores, churches, shopping, and has tips of things to do. We also have a map, a Hawaii guidebook, and some coupon books to help you.

If this all sounds good to you, and you are become our guests in our Ocean Blue Paradise, we hope you'll come to think of the condo as "Your" Paradise, too!! We hope you have a great time in Paradise and make some wonderful memories. Remember "What happens in Hawaii....... stays with you forever"!!
