Our Airbnb was located in a standalone small house on the owner’s property. We had our private entrance.
The Airbnb was a large studio with a separate bathroom.
And a kitchen that had a stovetop (no oven or toaster oven). The fridge was full size. There was also a washer and dryer unit. We used this twice and I loved that we could pack less and wash our clothes.
There was a TV and a dresser with lots of bins for “Guest Storage”. We filled these bins during our stay with baby stuff (clothes/diapers/wipes), and Alfy’s stuff. On the bottom, were bins with extra guest supplies, such as extra blankets/towels and beach towels. There was another small closet by the bathroom with shelves where I put my stuff. There was a small boogie board and I believe an umbrella for the beach. While we didn’t use these things, it was really nice to have them as an option.
The bathroom was fairly large for the small space. The shower had a rain shower unit, but I would have preferred a regular showerhead. There was a lot of shelf space along the mirror shelf.
When we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly host who showed us where to park our car. He then showed us our Airbnb and how the lock worked. He left out a welcome basket filled with Hawaiian treats like a pineapple, fresh fruits, and local snacks.
There was also cold water and Hawaiian drinks in the fridge, and a bottle of wine!
We were thrilled that the host went so far out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. I felt like we had Diamond status—no, I felt more like royalty!
I also loved the sliding patio doors and the huge patio off our room. The natural light helped the place feel large, bright, and airy. At any time, we could go outside and enjoy some fresh air and the view!
Also for guest use is a large covered outdoor patio with a koi pond and waterfall, sofa, chairs, and game table. There’s a grill and table/chairs for a family meal. We had dinner there the last evening together and had a wonderful time. The weather was just right, and I loved the sound of the running water.
The hosts were very friendly, and the wife (named Joele), actually babysat our daughter on two separate occasions while we had a couple’s outing at the zipline, and a trip to Kualoa Ranch for the ATV tour. (Of course we paid her for her time). She was a wonderful sitter and my daughter fell in love with her.
We can't wait to go back to Oahu and would love to stay here again! We made wonderful new friends and had an amazing stay!
