Our stay at the "Hale Kai" was nothing but perfect! The pictures and description of this condo was spot on. We were greeted with a box of chocolate(which was gone in 2 seconds since I was so hungry!). I should mention that the drive from HNL airport is about 1hr. 20mins. or so(maybe more if you're stuck in traffic), but it is so worth the drive. Once you get past Honolulu, you reach the beautiful part of Oahu...The North Shore.
It was the right amount of space for my husband, two boys(4yrs. & 9mos. old), my mother and I. It even had a baby high chair and also beach mats & sand toys for the kids, which was a plus! The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked and working. Sorry, I've been to a couple Airbnbs' and that wasn't the case so I'm always excited when everything's working appropriately =)
My toddler slept in the loft with my mother. We don't have stairs in our home so he liked running up and down them every morning. He also liked going out on the balcony and playing with his toys. I loved how the balcony had a screen cover so the bugs never got in when we kept the doors open at night.
The staff there were also nice. We did have a mishap with our rental car and we needed a jump start. Unfortunately the staff did not have jumper cables, but they kept checking in on us until our AAA tow came(I thought that was nice).
I enjoyed being so close to the Turtle Bay resort and beach. My husband and I ran a couple mornings to and from the condo. We were so sad to leave on our last day. Even my toddler asked if we were going to come back.
I hope we come back soon and hopefully this jem of a place will be open when we do. Until next time...Mahalo Jennifer!
