DVC II Exchange Pictures - Hawaiian Princess

[TnRobin]

I have been meaning to post these pictures and others for some time. This will be the first in the series of II Exchange Pictures I have taken.

We did not stay in this condo, but with the permission of the manager, we were allowed to take pictures around the complex. Based on the outside appearance, I would rate this resort as very average.

The biggest downside appears to the the surrounding neighborhood. It seems to be in a dieing section of the island, but I have heard that this area is beginning to see new growth. Time will tell.

The biggest asset appears to be the beach/view. The beach area is secluded, quiet, and absolutely beautiful.

Exterior Shot - Good security function - was approached by security when taking this shot.

Nice, Robin. Thanks for sharing those. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your Hawaii photos!

What island was this on? Oahu? There are a lot of properties in Waikiki which I would say are in questionable areas...

This one while on Oahu is no where near Waikiki. It is at Makana Beach on the west coast.

It is about a 45 - 60 minute drive from Waikiki. It is about 20 - 25 minutes due north of the Ko'olina area where Disney/DVC is building thier new resort. This part of the island is more residential and much more like the other islands in Hawaii. Very secluded and quiet. Not a lot of traffic. A local grocery store and a few fast food restaurants. If you stay here, you are looking for a peaceful beach vacation.
