Tom was a great. Check in / Check out was simple using the clear and thorough instructions he provided. His detailed suggestions for dining and things to do were spot on. Especially in the immediate local area. The beach is incredible and views from the lanai were spectacular. It was over 90 degrees several of the days we were there, so we did need to run the AC as the trade winds were not cooperating. The ceiling fans really helped. The king bed is soft. The in unit washer and dryer were very convenient and got plenty of use. We loved that the condo is in Makaha, away from all the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. Because of the location, you really do need a car.
Our Favorite Tourist Things To Do
1. Hanging out on the beautiful beach.
2. Watching sunsets from the lanai.
3. Circled Oahu by car. North Shore and Windward side were awesome.
4. Paradise Cove Luau.
5. Polynesian Cultural Center.
6. Aloha Bowl Flea Market on Saturday (and Wednesday?).
7. Tour the far west side of Oahu past Makaha. Make a left out of the parking lot, and then another left on the main road. It's very beautiful and is easily overlooked. Many public beaches out this way. Makaha Beach, about a mile or so from the condo, has the best surfing in the immediate area.
8. Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri.
(the Pacific Air Museum was a dud).
We want to thank Tom for sharing his condo with us. You will be hard pressed to find a better host.
