This home is definitely on the country side, which can be good for some looking to keep things simple, or not-so-good for those used to full hotel style amenities and conveniences. Depending on your travel style and destination goals, some advice: there is not a public access road shortcut connecting the North Shore to West, or the Central valley to the Waianae coast - so prepare your bodies, and your gas tanks, for lots of driving up and down the Farrington Highway if you travel out. May the traffic timing, varying road construction, and your planned activities / appointments all be planned well for your success. On a zero-traffic timing, it was nearly an hour to reach central Honolulu. Assume 1.5 hours to give yourself some wiggle room if traffic hits.
Even in October, the breezes were too few & too weak to help cool the house down. The window AC unit only helps the back master bedroom stay moderately cool. If you have older travelers, or less heat-tolerant people, it may not suit. We had all windows open and still had difficulties even at night, to sleep. It was more comfortable outside than being indoors during the daytime. My trick was to make a 'cool pack' with a frozen water bottle wrapped in a towel, to put behind my neck for sleep. Also a cool shower right before bed helps.
Ideal for those who are more adaptable. I chose this to do a longer stay in Oahu, and to stay off the tourist zones, however not all in my group (including some seniors) could handle the simplistic country lifestyle. For square footage of space to spread out, for dollar value - this has all the room you need, but it might not be every person's cup of tea. Overall it was a fine stay, and had a relaxed atmosphere for those looking for a slower pace. We tried it, we learned about a new area, and we'd recommend others to try it themselves - see what works for them.
