This was our first time in Hawaii, but not our first time using Airbnb. The location of Farrah's condo is absolutely perfect. Being by Turtle Bay Resort was fantastic. We were a short walk to the Turtle Bay beach with an amazing Beach Bar with great food, drinks (Mai Tais) and service. Lei Lei's at the golf course had the best burgers and it was great to have so many options so close. Being on the north shore was heavenly. We spent so many sunsets at the beaches, watching the surfers and having a glass of wine. Ted's Bakery is a must for great guava danishes, breakfasts etc. Seven brothers burgers are to die for. We weren't super impressed with the shrimp truck.....We spent a lot of time at Chun's Reef so my boys could safely surf and then also Makaha Beach. Another of our favorite places to eat, which is by Makaha Beach, is Coquitos. AMAZING!!!! We did eat at Hula Grill and Duke's before it closed due to the coronavirus and it too was spectacular.
We used Surf HNL for our surf lessons and surf board rentals and John, was so accommodating and helpful. He was available by text all vacation to help us navigate the safest beaches for surfing.
The condo itself was so spacious and we loved having the loft area for our three boys to have a space for themselves to watch TV or just hang out. Farrah has outfitted the condo with everything you could ever need. Spices, blenders, anything a kitchen would need, laundry detergent and dryer sheets.....it says that they start you out with paper supplies, but we were there (5 of us) for 8-9 days and didn't run out of anything. Every TV had Netflix or more, there were games to play, beach equipment, a BBQ and lounge chairs on the patio. They have thought of everything.....Super impressed.
Farrah responded quickly if I had a question and was super helpful in giving us suggestions for things to do. She was amazingly accommodating and even let us extend our check out time as we had a 10 p.m. flight.
If we ever come back......we would absolutely stay here again.
Thank you again!!!!!
