Kristen saved our vacation! We were booked at another rental (just right up the street) that turned out being a wasp infested nightmare! We thought our Hawaii vacation was ruined, until we contacted Kristen. She was able to provide my family of 5 with last minute accommodations. When we entered her home, we were so relieved. Everything was just as she describes in her listing. Such an amazingly beautiful, beach front home. The views are incredible! You can open all the living room doors and savor those fantastic Windward winds. It’s truly heaven. & The beach is literally 5 steps away. Kristen also provides you with all the basic necessities, plus things you didn’t even think you’d need. The beds & pillows are so comfy. We slept well every night. Also, The towels & linens are plush. She certainly took the time to stock her home with quality items. Kristen really went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. & Her communication with us during our stay was impeccable. She also has AC units in every bedroom. AC is a must have on the island, as the humidity can get oppressive at times. Kamehameha Highway is right by the House, but didn’t affect our sleep, as the AC & sounds of the beach waves drown out any noises from the hwy.
The small town of Hau’ula is quaint & charming. & There’s good eating close by. We especially loved Papa Ole's Kitchen and all the North Shore Food trucks. For gifts, be sure to stop by the Hau’ula gift shop down the street. Also, If you want to experience an amazing Luau, go to Toa Luau in Waimea Valley. We loved that one! Much more intimate & unique than the Polynesian Cultural Center Luau. Don’t get me wrong, PCC is a great one too, but it gets very crowded. (We don’t like large crowds) & Kualoa Ranch is only 15 minutes away. That is a must do when you are out here.
So, to wrap this review up, I’d like to thank our gracious host Kristen for a wonderful stay. Mahalo for sharing your home with us! We know exactly where we will be staying when we return to Hau’ula! Aloha! <3
