Martine's place is a wonderful place to stay. It is a beautiful, bright and welcoming property with an overall lovely feel. The room is a great size and contains a big comfortable bed, a coffee machine, a TV and a desk if you wish to use them. There is plenty of space to hang clothes which is a nice alternative to living out of your suitcase. The bathroom is great too - it was impeccably clean and Martine provided us with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and bath towels. If required, you can have full access to the kitchen which is a bonus if you want to prepare food or even heat up leftovers as we did. As cat lovers, we thoroughly enjoyed the company of Martine's two cats who just float in and out of the house.
Martine & Mark could not have been any more helpful. They provided us with great recommendations for attractions around the area and places to eat. We were also provided with snorkelling equipment and beach towels for our outings to the beach. Throughout our stay we had many lovely and insightful conversations with Mark & Martine which we thoroughly enjoyed. Mark & Martine are amazing people and will go over and above to make sure you are comfortable during your stay.
Finally, the location of this property is perfect. It is about a 5 minute drive from Kailua which contains a variety of fantastic places to eat. It is also within driving distance from the beautiful Lanikai beach and the Pillbox hike.
I would highly recommend Martine & Mark's place to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle & bustle of Waikiki and to explore the east side of island!
