This vacation rental was awesome and Kaneohe is so beautiful! Kalin and Kahala are very friendly and made us feel like this was our home away from home. If you want to feel like you're experiencing the real Hawaii and escape the craziness and traffic of Waikiki, then you need to stay here. We never had to drive more than 30 mins to get anywhere we wanted and we visited plenty of beaches on various sides of the island. Getting back to Kaneohe was always smooth sailing and we were never stuck in traffic. Plus the drive to anywhere was always beautiful! You're travelling along the mountains and you can see the coast. Time's supermarket is not even a 10 min. drive away for you to pick up any groceries you need. Chinaman's Hat is about 15 mins away. Their home was very spacious and clean and the beds were so comfy. The kitchen is fully equipped with plates, cutlery, pots and pans and there's a washing machine and dryer which came in handy to wash our swim wear and towels. They also have a bbq in their backyard (which has a view of the beautiful mountains). We were able to use their boogie boards, snorkles, water toys, and beach mats which really came in handy since we were at the beach pretty much everyday. We were invited to Kalin and Kahala's family graduation party they were celebrating on our second night in Hawaii and ate some delicious Hawaiian food. We also shared some beers with them again the night before we left for Canada. They were very informative and gave us lots of recommendations for us to check out. I would definitely stay here over any hotel in Honolulu!
