Jeff and Carrie’s place was excellent!! Roomy, clean, and well-equipped...and if we ran out of anything, a message to Jeff got us an immediate response! There are plenty of linens, pillows, and towels. The bed in the bedroom is so comfortable and the pillows are too! The pack-and-play Jeff was able to provide us with was clean and worked perfectly for our 22 month old. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare any meal. There is no AC, but there is an overhead fan in both the bedroom and the living room, and two floor fans you can move anywhere. The apartment cools off wonderfully at night, and while a little warm during the day, it’s just a little encouragement to get out to the beach! Lots of beach gear too; everything from a cooler to snorkel and mask to boogie boards and even water shoes! The washer and drier are large capacity and work quickly, which was a boon with a little one. Jeff has a well respected guide book about Hawaii available, with his personal favorites highlighted, and he was also more than happy to chat with us about recommendations and must sees. The house manual includes lots of restaurant recommendations that details why they like each place too.
On top of a great place, Jeff and Carrie are excellent hosts! Very friendly and outgoing, but also respectful of your privacy. The apartment is a mother-in-law suite attached to the back of their home. It means they are always available to answer questions or provide anything you might request, but you have your own private space in the back yard to hang out in.
