They say the #1 thing in real estate is location, location, location!...the same can be said about renting an AirBnB.
Jeff's place is in a quiet residential neighborhood on the North Shore and in an ideal location for a quiet Hawaiian vacation!
The beach was a 5 minute walk away and when it says a secluded beach, that is NOT a lie!...our party of 6 literally would double the population at the beach, so that should tell you how quiet it was!
We took advantage of the recommendations in "the binder" and went to Ted's Bakery (great breakfast spot and yummy desserts!) and visited the beach where you can see turtles and the quiet snorkel spot - all within a 5 minute drive from the house!
The location was great for our trips into Waikiki as you can take the conventional inland route OR go the scenic western route (along the coast via Kam Hwy).
The house is well stocked for a great vacation experience...beach toys, beach chairs, towels, an ice chest and wagon were provided and made the beach trips so easy!....there is a washer and dryer on site, so we were able to pack less for the trip and simply wash our clothes midway through the stay....we utilized the Netflix subscription on the main TV for our nighttime entertainment...and even though we didn't use any of it, the house does have items that would be useful for families traveling with babies!
The 3 bedrooms fit our party of 6 easily and the layout was quite nice...1 master suite with a bathroom and 2 bedrooms that share a bathroom in the hallway...the kitchen was spacious and the yard, while we didn't use it, is setup with a BBQ, picnic table and chairs to relax and enjoy the Hawaiian breeze!
The only downside is that we had to leave to come back home...thank you to Jeff, Michelle and Erin for opening your home to us!
