The home is very well appointed, has many beautiful touches, and is equipped with everything you need, including bikes, body boards, sun umbrella, beach chairs. It is very clean, has many nice towels, all the bathrooms supplies, etc. Kitchen does not have a large stove but has a couple of small electric ones, so you can do some light cooking. It has a microwave and toaster oven. Outside shower is very nice, too. We had a major hick up though while checking in - the lock would not open, and we could not reach neither airbnb manager, nor the owner, who was on the airplane at the time (as we found out later). We were ready to leave, when it occurred to me that the door might had jammed, and indeed it was jammed. After lifting it and pulling hard, the lock finally opened. If the door is fixed, everything else is 5 stars - a very nice experience. The location is good, with nice view from the patio, and from the windows. It is a bit far to walk to the beach, but contrary to the popular opinion about the parking, we were able to always to find parking at the side streets near the beach (maybe because we went later than an average?). The restaurants, stores and pharmacies were all nearby. The beaches are outstanding (Lanikai and Kailua especially). We went pretty much all around the island (except the west), and liked them the most by the combination of natural beauty, views, length, pretty white sand, trees for shade, ability to both swim and use boogie boards a bit (small waves), not being crowded, close to everything. Yet of course you still have to watch your kids at all times, as we were advised by a Hawaiian flight attendant - the island is in the middle of Pacific, after all, and there could be some changing currents. Lanikai has some reefs and snorkeling very close to the beach, too. Definitely would like to be back, if we are in Oahu again.
