I didn’t do much research on the exact area of this AirBNB. I went off “it’s Oahu- I’ve been 4 times before- and the place looks amazing”.
First off- this house is great, well kept, super cute, nice porch, all the amenities you need for vacation. I liked the fenced in yard as well.
The area surrounding the home does have a lot of homeless people, and a lot of homeless camps along the beach/road. You will hear road traffic. These are things out of her control, it’s just something to be aware of.
I wouldn’t have felt comfortable using the beach across the street.
The home is close (10-15 min drive) into Ko’Olina and Paradise Cove which was great for dinners or using the local lagoons/swimming out there.
Geraldine was a super host! We arrived earlier than check in, and allowed us to arrive early. Having to do touristy stuff with all our stuff in our rental car was a big worry, so that helped. House was well stocked with supplies, coffee, towels, etc. Thank you for hosting us!
