Would definitely come again! This airbnb is located in the Aqua Aloha Surf Hotel and is an easy 5-10 min walk to the beach. Closer to the Ala Wai Canal so much quieter than staying closer to the main boardwalk.
Checking-in was so smooth, Atsuko provides all the directions clearly in the reservation and it’s contactless! She even got the place ready for my party to check-in an hour early @ 2pm.
When you get inside, they provide you a cute little manual on how to do the little things (connect to wifi, what amenities you can find, etc.) and it is just so cozy! Just as shown in the pictures (yes, you could say it is a little outdated but still so cute!). Kitchenette is perfect and has everything you need from a mini fridge, to a microwave, to single stove, to a toaster, to utensils, etc.
Because this unit is privately owned and not “connected” to the hotel, you are only given 2 beach towels which, if you’re planning on staying more than a day or two, makes them really gross and not ideal. That being said, they were really thoughtful in providing bath towels, hangers, and even aloe for those burns! Also, AC runs great!
My one complaint would be a cockroach we found in the bath on the first day and an ant I found crawling around on the pillow on the first day. That being said, it is Hawaii and I’ve seen similar complaints in other establishments and would not let that deter me from staying here again.
