My daughter and I were in Laie during hurricane Lane. We loved our stay at Hukilau Hale while we were there because of the luxurious comfort of our accommodations and the wonderful hospitality we received from Kelly and her family. She was terrific sending updates on the weather and providing us with necessities to make our stay more comfortable in the event of a power outage or evacuation. The location was easy to find. Convenient to a grocery store, gas station and several restaurants in a strip mall down the street. I loved that there was a concrete driveway for me to park on since it rained off and on our entire time there. It was nice to have clean shoes in and out of the car and house. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The shower is huge and amazing with good water pressure (we both have long thick hair, so water pressure is important). There were two air conditioners to keep the place nice and cool. They worked so well that we had to turn them off a few times because it got chilly. There was a comfortable love seat and a 2 chair breakfast table. There is no stove or oven. However, there is a microwave and an electric fry pan. That was good enough for us because we enjoyed the local restaurants; and I was happy not to cook. : ) Oh, how could I almost forget to mention there was Hukilau beach right across the street! We spent a small amount of time there due to the weather; but it was great. The locals were still there even with the hurricane looming. I would definitely recommend Hukilau Hale to anyone planning on staying in Laie. Aloha!
