We stayed in Lindsay’s place for several nights w our two babies and teen nanny. Loved the baby stuff- pack n play, high chair, toys/books, lots of beach toys, plus Tommy Bahama beach chairs and big fluffy beach towels. Hot plate, pans and oil, salt andpepper to cook with. 5 minutes from Polynesian Cultural Center, BYU, Temple, etc. Five minutes drive to the first nice beach. The beach near the home (youhavetocross a golf course on foot to get to it) has no trees and a homeless guy in a tent living on it. My husband walked it daily and didn’t think it was safe for us without going as a group. Lindsay gave us late checkout so our kids could nap (much appreciated) but her husband was irritated when we left and told us we should have been cleaning instead of packing our car while the kids slept. (That’s what the $140 cleaning fee is for!). We had tidied up and even put the towels in to wash as a courtesy. We had such a comfortable stay- it was a shame to end on a sour note. Overall a nice stay in a safe, gated community w nice folks. Note: The host family lives upstairs and it was noisy at times at night but we put in our earplugs. Plus we have kids too so we know how it goes! Second note: if you are a family flying in to Honolulu, stop at the Costco on the drive up as it’s far cheaper than Foodland, your only close grocery store in Laie where a small loaf of bread is $7 and bell peppers are $5.99/lb!
