Our stay at Macy and Ed's place was absolutely wonderful - perfect for our 10 day holiday! The place was sparkling clean, nice and spacious, with roomy bathroom and bathtub with hot shower, which was so pleasant after a long day at the beach or in town. The bed was super comfortable!
The beach was only a short 5-10 minute walk away along a nice leafy street by a huge park. Macy provided plenty of large beach towels and chairs so we could just take them down to the beach, which is also a perfect spot for watching the sunset! There's a small patio space and washers and dryers so we could just lay out the beach towels and wet swimsuits on the chairs outside or wash or dry them.
The apt also has a small kitchenette with fridge, coffee maker, plates, utensils, etc and a microwave, so for light lunches, we made ourselves salads and sandwiches or had hawaiian poke or warmed up soup and then enjoyed them sitting outside at the apt on the patio, which has a table and chairs. There are many excellent restaurants along the street, which we went to for breakfast and dinners, and a few supermarkets and a Wholefoods only 5 min drive away.
The apt has its own parking space, which is incredible luxury for getting around to explore the beautiful island. A lot of mornings, we drove along the coast to the east side of the island, which has long beautiful and uncrowded beaches with the mountains in the background (just 25 minutes away) to catch the sunrise.
Checkin and checkout was so easy because the apt door has an electronic code lock. That way, you also dont have to worry about bringing keys to the beach! Also, great wifi, TV, cable etc, if you need it.
What made the stay truly special was Macy and Ed's enormous hospitality. They were so nice, kind, cheerful, super responsive to every email, every request, suggesting restaurants when asked, changing towels, giving advice...But because the apt has its own walkway and entrance, we also had a lot of privacy.
We come to Honolulu several times a year and have stayed at dozens of places, but Macy and Ed's will be our first choice now! As you can see, we just can't run out of nice things to say about them and their apt, and absolutely recommend staying here!
