We stayed at this beautiful oasis outside of Honolulu for 2 amazing months. The home is in a cute little old-school Hawaiian neighborhood but is within walking distance of restaurants, parks, the ocean, hiking, etc. The lanai (porch) faces the mountains and gets shade and a breeze during the day. It's close (15 min) to all that Waikiki has to offer but far enough that you don't feel the hustle and bustle. Hanauma Bay is super close as is a Costco in Hawaii-Kai. Basically, everything you need :-) But the best part of this home is Paul and Nancy, who are fantastic hosts and supplied us with a constant stream of local tips and recommendations. They made us feel like ohana and were super easy to communicate and are just overall great human beings. All this to say we were so sad to leave this slice of paradise and I'm hesitant to write this review because we want it to be available again when we inevitably decide to return!
