We are a family of 4 from Chicago. We had a fantastic time on Oahu and staying at this location for the tail end of our trip. We spent 3 nights here. Although we didn't get a chance to meet Akiko, I had reached out to see if we could check-in earlier. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to accommodate due to the previous renters' stay schedule. She was a very quick and responsive host. We did meet her mother (Aeiko?) and a young gentleman (I'm assuming a relative) who gave us great recommendations for breakfast!
The check-in process was fantastic - everything was self-check-in. We were provided a code for the lockbox that sits outside the gates. Everything else to get settled in is after that and is well indicated.
You definitely rent this location for the pool area and privacy. For most of our stay, it was really only my family utilizing the pool. NOTE: It's requested that you do not wear sunscreen in the pool so, if you sunburn easy, be mindful. My wife has very fair skin so we wound often swam during the latter part of the day where the sun is blocked by the natural greenery. The larger bed (2 twins pushed together) was okay but, if you're a snuggler, be prepared to fall through the middle. ;)
There was a sense of a rushed cleaning job between the previous renters and us. We found a couple of things that were overlooked (most likely from a young child) but overall, our stay was enjoyable and quite memorable! Thank you again for having us!
