Special Offer on Sandy Beachfront away from the hustle and bustle (Punaluu/Hauula/North Shore/Oahu) $129 1bd
YES! White powdery sand beach just 30 steps from the condo. This is a true one bedroom that sleeps four to six comfortably. It is not one of those studios with a small bed niche that others in the building (Pats at Punaluu) try to pass off as a one bedroom. This unit is the ground floor corner unit, the most preferred location. All visitors have agreed that this unit is the best located one. It has a Deluxe King bed with pillowtop mattress in the bedroom, a full size “top of the line” futon couch which is more comfortable than a bed (at a cost of more than $400 for the futon mattress alone), 2 single futons and even an extra full size king air mattress with pump and lots of extra linens. There is a Pentium IV computer in the bedroom that has unlimited high speed internet access and Wi-Fi for your laptops. The unit is stocked with quality snorkeling equipment, quality Boogie boards, movie video library and even books. There is a full kitchen with large refrigerator, stove/oven, pots, pans, dishes and silverware, paintings of ocean and ocean life, track lighting in both front and back rooms, acrylic glass set, microwave containers, knife set, ‘patio set with cushions …..Also deluxe toaster oven w/rotisserie, automatic rice cooker, 2 color TVs, VCR, DVD Player, Panasonic microwave, coffee maker and grinder, Kenmore washer/dryer, remote phone, leather Recliner chair and clock radio/CD player in the bedroom.
You will enjoy visiting because part of the time you have the white sandy beach completely to yourself (Yes it is always safe). The area (Hauula) is on the opposite side of the island from the airport and Waikiki. About 45 minutes to an hour drive. It is not far from the Polynesian Cultural Center (about a 10 min.drive). The city bus line picks up directly in front of the unit. Sunset Beach is about 15 minutes away.
Baywatch Hawaii was filmed about 25 minutes away in Haleiwa and North Shore on FOX was filmed 20 minutes away in the same direction. “Lost” is presently filming in Waialua past Haleiwa. Foodland Supermarket is a major chain in Hawaii and has one ten minutes away. The building is eight stories high. Avoid lengthy elevator waits on your vacation. It is thirty steps to a white secluded sandy beach. The ocean is calm because of a reef 1/4 mile out which blocks the waves. It is perfect for kids to enjoy snorkeling and swimming. The building has amenities like professional Bar-b-que area, gym with sauna, swimming pool next to your unit and sunning area behind your unit. Your parking stall is included and located right in front of the unit.
This is the ground floor, corner unit. This is the preferred size and location. The unit extends from one end of the building to the other and measures approximately 850 sq. ft. My old rate was $174 per night with discounts for longer stays. I have changed my booking procedure in order to keep the beach condo booked almost and dropped the price to $129 for any amount of time except the Holiday period from December 15 to January 15. This is a temporary special rate. Rate is based on occupancy for four people. Please add $14 per person per night after four people.

This is all ocean view and on the ground floor so there are no steps to negotiate. And yes, your parking stall is provided at no extra charge directly in front of the unit. The free local telephone service will save money compared to hotels.

10/05/08 Positive What a wonderful condo for us to enjoy on our very first trip to Hawaii in September this year. Very nicely decorated, very clean and within 30 steps to the beach, where the water was absolutely beautiful & calm. Everyday we practically had the beach to ourselves, where we made use of the snorkling equipment provided. We saw many different beautiful schools of fish, a morey eel & a sea turtle one day. We enjoyed sitting out on the lanai every morning to have our breakfast and enjoy the view. If you turn right out of the condos, you can enjoy a very nice 30 minuite drive to Sunset Beach and watch the surfers. Another 15 minutes or so to we were at Haleiwa with its cool atmosphere, plenty of nice restaurants and shops. We loved driving to Waikiki and shopping at the International Market.
There is just so much to do, but the best thing is you get to come home to such a great relaxing place.
THANKS SO MUCH EMMANUEL!

08/19/08 Positive We stayed for a week in August and had a great time. The condo is exactly as advertised – the beach really is 30 steps away and totally secluded. If you’re looking to get away from the frenzy of Waikiki and relax while you’re in Hawaii I definitely recommend this condo!

08/12/08 Positive Had a great time on vacation at Pat’s in Unit #116. No surpises were encountered during the trip. Everything was handled very well and in a professional manner. Location of this unit was ideal.
Mirizzi Family, Sugar Land, TX
07/31/08 Positive Our family had a wonderful seven day visit at the condo. Before arriving, we were a little concerned about finding comfortable accommodations for all six of us. Upon arriving we were pleased to find that there was plenty of room and bedding for all.
Everything was as described on the website. Boogie boards and snorkeling equipment were great and everyone was able to find equipment that fit! Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, spices and basics. Pool, patio area and beach were only steps away. (Great area for snorkeling and calm beach for the kids.) Computer with internet was a big help. Always felt safe on the beach and in the neighborhood.
We were a little apprehensive before arriving because we had found the condo on the internet. We are now totally thrilled with the rental. Emmanuel always responded quickly when we had questions or concerns prior to our arrival. He also checked in by phone during our stay to be sure all was ok. Feel free to call me if you have any concerns prior to renting. (530) 559-0105 Ron

07/14/08 Positive Beautiful location for your family to rest and relax. Condo has everything you need from cooking to playing on the beach. Never more then 10 people on the beach private and secluded. Would highly recommend this TROPICAL PARADISE for your next vacation. Thank you Mr Chen.
Steele’s, Broomfield, CO
07/02/08 Positive Fantastic! This condo is right on the beach. I love the three dining tables with umbrellas adjacent to the swimming pool area. I didn’t get a sunburn and I was out in the sun for 2 days on the beach. I had a nice glass of wine and some snacks at the tables as the sun set on the beautiful beach. The water is calmer early in the morning. I found the afternoon surf and undertow quite strong. I would recommend swimming in the morning if possible. The condo was great. Highly recommended.
Donalee, Honolulu, HI
05/28/08 Positive We just returned from a wonderful vacation at Mr. Chen’s condo. As past guests have commented, we too were a little hesitant renting on line but you can rest assured, it is exactly as described in print and in pictures. This truly was THE BEST unit in the building. You cannot get any closer to the beach, which had no more than 6 people on it at any given time. The sunrises were amazing and Mr. Chen supplies you with everything you could possibly need for a really enjoyable holiday. The King size bed was sooo comfortable! This is definitely the place to stay for a quiet, relaxing time. We look forward to our return next year. Mahalo!

05/20/08 Positive If you are looking for a quiet place to stay right next to the beach this is the place. Away from the busy Waikiki hustle and bustle it’s like a home away from home. We love this place so much that we are definitely going to come back again.

04/28/08 Positive 4-15-2008 Just got back from a wonderful week. Great beach,nice weather and cond, was everything Mr. Chen said it would be. Great place to spend time with family,this part of Oahu is nice and quiet with nice trade winds to keep you cool. Water is nice,we saw lots!! of turtles,fun to watch. Hope to be back,we had a great time!!!!Jill,Jim,and David

03/15/08 Positive We just got back from Hawaii and are making plans to go again. Mr. Chen’s condo was extremely accomodating. We stayed there with our four kids. It was wonderful to have plenty of boogie boards, masks, snorkels, coolers, etc. to use. We also made use of the washer and dryer and DVD player. Anyone would be very comfortable staying here, and the beach is AWESOME. Thank you Mr. Chen. By the way, we did receive our full deposit back, which also was great.
Sue, Olympia, WA
02/25/08 Positive My husband and I just got back from a glorious week at Emanuel’s condo on the lovely windward coast. If you are looking for a quiet, empty, beautiful beachfront place,this is it. The condo is simple but very clean, and well-stocked. We have our own snorkeling gear, but he does stock the place with lots of stuff if you don’t. There are beach chairs, boogie boards, and lots of videos, books, etc. (we never used those once!) The beach is safe for kids, because it’s protected by the reef 1/2 mile (?) away, but it’s also great for snorkeling. I saw a 400-500 lb. sea turtle a few hundred feet out toward the reef. There are plenty of fish and sealife! Many of the people are retired residents and very friendly. Even Ken, the caretaker/gardener, was super helpful with snorkel/travel tips. The north shore waves/ Haleiwa town is about 20-30 mins. north, and Kaneohe Bay about the same distance south. This is NOT the place if you like to party, drink, club and have Waikiki style beaches and fancy accomodations. We never saw more than 7-8 people at a time on the entire stretch of beach. Also, the washer/dryer is very convenient- you go home with clean laundry! I was worried renting off of craigslist, but it really worked out.

02/19/08 Positive My wife and I stayed here in mid Jan 08. The condo turned out to be an excellent place to stay. Just minutes from the PCC, a must see in our book, and just a half-hour or so to the North Shore. The condo was clean and nicely furnished and we enjoyed the free internet access. Thanks Mr. Chen

and waves rocking you to sleep.

01/01/08 Positive We just got home (12/31/07) from a one week stay at Mr. Chen’s condo. Everything from start to finish was a wonderful experience!! He is very quick to respond to your emails and I was very impressed to get a personal phone call from him before our arrival.
It was a pleasant drive from Honolulu and I could do it like I lived there after a couple of days. The weather did not quite work in our favor to partake in all of the beach gear, but we definitely want to try again when it is not Winter.
Everything was fabulous and it felt like home. Would never stay in a hotel when the beach is right outside the door. Who could ask for anything more! It made our first trip to Hawaii very enjoyable and much more relaxing with a 1 year old and his 8 year old sister!
THANKS MR CHEN and LISA too!!
Kellee, Sacramento, CA
12/31/07 Positive What a great place to stay! We spent 11 days here. Washer/Dryer/Coffee Maker/Broadband access with a computer. Books/DVDs/Boogie Boards/ Snorkel equipment and a fabulous beach to use it. Kaya’s little store within strolling distance. also a SubWay there. Very convenient to many attractions. We will be back 
Thanks Tom

12/14/07 Positive Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your condo for a couple days. We loved it! The beach access was unbeatable! We were very comfortable and felt right at home. Thanks so much for all the little extras. Mr. Chen was a pleasure to work with!

12/12/07 Positive This condo was everything the ad mentioned! Emmanuel Chen responded very promptly to all e-mails. I must admit that I was a bit nervous to book a condo on line, however, reserving this condo put all my fears aside, it had all the ammenities one could ever need! The beach truly is spectacular and secluded. And as other guests have mentioned, the bed was very comfortable and the unit very clean. I would highly recommend your next vacation on the North Shore of Oahu and staying at Mr. Chen’s condo! PS: we received our damage deposit one week after we returned home! (Nice!)

11/03/07 Positive Wow, what a great place. Thank you Emmanuel for a great vacation. The condo accomodated all 5 of us, 4 adults and 1 two year old. The condo was completely stocked with everything you need for a beach holiday, snorckles, boogy boards, even plenty of beach toys for the kids. Kitchen is fully stocked for creating a great meal. Beds are comfortable and linens are fresh and clean. It was good to have a washer and dryer in the unit. The location is perfect, just steps from the very secluded beautiful white sand beach. Never saw more than 2-4 people on the beach at a time. The pool, is also just outside the door. This place is great for sleeping, you can hear the ocean waves breaking all day and night. So nice to get up in the morning and have your coffee just steps from the beach. The time of year we went, October, the weather is perfect. The location to outside activities is perfect. The Polyesian Cultural Center is just minutes away. The North Shore to watch surfers is just a 10 minute drive. The super market is also just minutes away. The little store, Kaya’s, just across the street and down a bit is a perfect spot to pick up small items and a lovely little walk. All the amenities of the big city in a small rural town. If you like a beach vacation, but don’t like the city life, crowds and traffic, then this condo at Pat’s at Punaluu is the perfect place. We will be back.
Mark & Debbie Biggers, Ramah, NM
08/20/07 Positive I just wanted to say I really enjoyed my stay at the condo. It was a tough life. Getting up, drinking my coffee, walking 2 minutes to the small store down the way and buying the paper. Then a little walk on the beach, snorkeling and reading on the beach for the rest of the day. Being on the first floor and in the corner unit made everything convenient and noiseless. The weather was great and when it rained it was just brief spurts. This was the best way to visit Hawaii and your unit lacked for nothing. I’m so glad I found your place.

08/15/07 Positive We stayed Aug 5-12, 2007. We arrived very late at night but had no
problems finding it or getting in. As was stated in ad it was very stocked with supplies.
Kids loved the boogie boards. The beach was right there, perfect location. We
never went to another beach for swimming, too convenient. Loved being away from
Waikiki. The price was great too. Mr. Chen was very accommodating with our extra
day also. We would recommend this condo to anyone.
Jackson Family, Lindon, UT
07/28/07 Positive We stayed at the condo from 7/16 thru 7/23 2007.
The condo was very clean, airy and extremely
comfortable. It was also stocked with all sorts of
swim equipment; fins, goggles, masks and boogie
boards. It made a huge difference to have a
turnkey furnished apartment to come home to at
the end of a busy day instead of a cramped hotel
room.
I was a little nervous about renting over the
internet, but Mr. Chen made the process a very
positive experience. He was professional,
communicative and friendly. I must say, that the
level of service and customer care he provided is
very hard to find these days. When we had
problems with the microwave, Mr. Chen arranged
for a replacement within 2 hours. My son still is
talking about his new friend Emmanuel who took
such good care of us.
The beach is literally 80 feet from the condo’s front
door. It is also very calm water. We were able to
swim here when the current at some of the North
Shore beaches was too rough. We never had to
share the beach with more than three of four
people and the gorgeous mountain backdrop was
way more impressive than the Waikiki hotel skyline.
I highly recommend this condo. The price is hard
to beat and you definitely get well beyond your
money’s worth. We will be back next summer, if
not sooner.
Thanks so much for a great week!
The Hunt Family, Vancouver, WA
03/26/07 Positive We had a great time at the condo! We were fairly busy during our stay, but it was so relaxing to come home to a quiet and beautiful condo on the beach. The neighbors were friendly and extremely helpful. We would definitely stay there again.
Anonymous, Las Vegas, NV
03/08/07 Positive We rented the unit in Hauula, Oahu February 21 – March 1, 2007 and had a wonderful time. The unit was fine for all of us and the beach was absolutely beautiful for adults and children alike. It was convenient being located on the ground floor with access to the pool and shower nearby, not to mention being 100 feet from the beach! The two grocery stores in Laie were just a few minutes drive away and had a good selection. We particularily enjoyed the variety of poke available! All we read and the pictures we saw on the website are accurate – a real gem!
Hopefully, we’ll be able to travel to Hawaii again soon!

01/14/07 Positive My wife & I had a wonderful time in here!!! We snorkeled just about every day, (equipment supplied) & saw lots of marine life!!! We were able to see most of the Island & we were close to the infamous North Shores’ spectacular waves!! It was nice to have a quiet relaxing place where we could make our own meals & then get ready to enjoy Hawaii’s natural beauty!! We are looking foward to coming back!!! We highhly recommend this place!!!

10/17/06 Positive The condo was great! For a family of 6, we were all very comfortable. Mr. Chen has thought of it all, by suppling everthing you need for a fun vacation. Lisa (the cleaning lady) was very helpful in showing us around the condo when we got there. Just steps from the pool and beach (almost private), my boys had a great time. I would definitely recommend renting this condo.
Manzanares Family, Corona, CA
10/15/06 Positive The condo was everything Mr Chen said it would be. From the fully equipped kitchen to the swimming gear we couldn’t have asked for more. Having a computer made it easy to stay in touch with family. We had the beach to ourselves 99% of the time and it truly was close. Highly recommended for a relaxing vacation.
