Phillip's place was beautiful and peaceful and perfect for our stay in Oahu. The rooms were enormous with plenty of room for a family of 4. Phillip was an awesome host and even showed us the trail he made through his property. The master bedroom has a view of the ocean and we could even see Chinaman's Hat (small island to the east). We didn't cook a lot except breakfast and one dinner when we grilled. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and new appliances. We liked the location because it was so close to many of the tourist attractions on the east side of the island as well as the north shore. One thing to note that I did not see in the other reviews was that the house did have a couple of beach chairs and boogie boards and towels in the upstairs closet that could have been used as beach towels.
Phillip left us a nice bottle of wine when we arrived as well as plenty of instructions about the house, where to eat, attractions, etc. He was also available if we needed anything or had any questions. If we come back to Oahu we would stay here again!
