Melodie's place was perfect for my needs. There was a minor issue with the bathroom plumbing making noise, but maintenance is easy to reach & they came within 24 hours to fix it. The location, right across from Kamaole II beach is super convenient, despite the high traffic location; I loved being able to walk 3 mins to the beach. Her condo is recently renovated, attractive, & the perfect size for 1 or 2 persons. It's well stocked with cooking utensils/appliances and beach gear. If you're there long enough you'll get to meet her neighbors; a friendly group of retirees. There isn't a waterfront view, but there is a lanai which gets morning shade & is perfect for enjoying breakfast. She has a washing machine in the unit, but bring quarters for the dryers which are located centrally within the complex. A hint for those unfamiliar with the dead bolt: enter the code provided, then turn the DEADBOLT to lock or unlock the door, and THEN turn the doorknob to open the door. And if you have to communicate with Melodie while there, you'll have better luck earlier in the day. Overall, a great little place.
