Wow! Wow and wow! Electa is an all star! The apartment is immaculate! And the view is amazing !!! Her devotion to cleanliness and spreading aloha is evident from the very first moment you arrive to the last moment before you depart! We were greeted with hugs and introduced to the lovely property that was immaculate and boasts a million dollar view at the very least. The morning and night sky view is to die for from the apartment windows or from the driveway where we were able to park our car. Located on the pristine 16th avenue just past the nature park, you couldn’t ask for a better location. Less than 5 minutes from the Kahala mall where they have everything from Whole Foods to Longs Drugs/CVS pharmacy, Macy’s, and just about everything else you might need, which is just beneath the H1 freeway that you can use to get anywhere on the island. Our first two times on the island we stayed smack in the middle of Waikiki, which was awesome, but, city living comes with its downsides just as much as it’s perks-from the increased light pollution in Waikiki (we love stargazing) to the increased noise levels and constant Waikiki traffic, we surely will choose this beautiful Kahala Heights location instead going forward. Peace and solitude in a pristine and beautifully clean location is exactly what we were looking for when vacationing in Hawaii and this place was the perfect choice! The lovely little ride up the hill to and from the place offers a spectacular view of Diamond Head crater with the coastline in the background, which was perfect for my mavic pro sessions, or just for staring at for minutes at a time while breathing in the fresh mountain air, which I found myself doing every single morning and nearly every night. The washer and dryer are surely an added benefit which allowed us to pack lighter than usual which is always a plus, as were the beach items that she was willing to provide for us as well. She also provided quality bathroom items and towels as well a fully stocked kitchen complete with pots, pans, plates, knives, spoons, forks, spatulas, & nearly everything needed for some nights of home cooked food. Luckily Whole Foods is 5 minutes away in case you forget any particular ingredients. All in all, this place is a MUST! The bed was super comfy too (we both have slightly injured backs so this is important & we love a good nights rest), which was complimented immensely by the great air conditioning units, strong WiFi connection, and loaded cable box ! We cannot wait to stay here again! Electa provided the best AirBNB experience we have ever had (we’ve been using AirBnB for years now) ! She is that cool auntie* you wish you had that makes sure you’re doing well while giving you your space and freedom to enjoy yourself (other times we used AirBnB we often never saw a host or hostess which was okay but, somewhat impersonal and lacking); Electa, on the other hand, is always full of joy when u pass her by from time to time (we saw her going and coming a few times over the course of 14 days) and she always smiles so genuinely and even shared a group hug with us as we departed! We miss you auntie*!
*we’re not family or related in any way, but in Hawaii, if you don’t already know, everyone is Ohana, and Electa surely makes you feel like you’re right at home with family !
We can’t wait to go back!
If you’re looking for a great place, look no further!
Our 2 week stay was 50 weeks short- we wish we could live here all year long !!!!!
