We were quite excited to find that we had some things in common with Richard and Janina even though they live all the way in Hawaii! They are kind folks and their house is as charming as can be. They offer plenty of advice on exploring the area as well as the whole island. They were very accommodating regarding check-in and check-out which was much appreciated! Their home is clean, full of sunlight, and quite up to date (many homes on Oahu are not so up to date and well cared for)! It was also well stocked with just about anything you need while visiting (we were quite impressed)! They are in a great part of the island...Kailua is one of my favorite towns. One of their bedrooms even has AC which my mother appreciated :) The house had plenty of space for the four of us. We didn't realize that there were permanent tenants on the property but it didn't matter. We never saw them, heard them, or were bothered by them. Their living quarters are separate from what you rent so you don't even share a door or the carport. No worries! We really enjoyed our stay and we hope to visit again! -Mahalo, Carly & David
