Fodor's Expert Review Mahina Surf

4057 Lower Honoapiilani Hwy., Hawaii, 96761, USA

Of the many condo complexes lining the ocean-side stretch of Honoapiilani Highway, this one offers friendly service, a saline oceanfront pool, and affordable units—some with million-dollar views. You won't be charged for parking or local phone calls, and most of the individually owned one- and two-bedroom units have been renovated to include flat-screen TVs and granite countertops in the kitchens. The interiors tend to be charming "old Hawaii" (lots of rattan furniture, silk flowers, and decorative items). This quiet older complex is a short stroll away from Honokowai's grocery store, beaches, and restaurants.

PROS

  • resident turtles hang out on the rocks below
  • no hidden fees

CONS

  • rocky shoreline rather than a beach
  • no housekeeping (and cleaning fee for stays fewer than seven nights)
  • minimum three-night stay
