Amazing place. Super clean and easy to keep clean to keep the bugs away. Air conditioning cooled down quickly and fans were great to have too. Water pressure in the bathroom was great. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Regular coffee maker (no need for filters!) and a Keurig. Nice touches everywhere, great big tv. Had beach gear provided: beach chairs, snorkel equipment, boogie boards, plenty of towels. Seriously we had Everything we needed, even some seasonings for food. The landscaping and yard was phenomenal and my daughter loved going to the pond and feeding the fishes. I disagree with the comments that the neighborhood is in a ‘bad part of town’, if you’ve ever been to Hawaii, particularly Oahu, you know that multimillion dollar homes are often right next to junkier places. I would actually say this place was very safe and we never felt unsafe except when a local dog got out of his yard which was fixed quickly (I just get squirrelly about dogs).
There is a small, fairly quiet beach within walking distance, and probably 7-8 more within 10 minutes driving. Located about 10 mins from Laie Point where the Polynesian Cultural Center is and Foodland (local grocery) is 10 mins away. 15 minutes from the amazing food trucks of the north shore. This place is away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and Honolulu where you can really experience Hawaii the way locals do. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.
