This was my, and my family's first Airbnb experience and it was awesome! The villas are an awesome place in O'ahu. I must say that after we went to Waikiki to have dinner, we were so happy we decided to stay in Ko'olina. Waikiki has a lot of people, traffic, and noise. Ko'olina on the other hand, is beautiful and peaceful. The beaches are clean, the resorts next to the villas are nice, and the vegetation is beautifully taken care of. Alfred&Diana are great hosts that are responsive and kind. Nadia, Alfred's sister is the same way, she is attentive and helps with everything she can. The Villa also had beach towels, chairs and toys that were provided for our convenience. The kitchen also has spices, stuff on the fridge that was handy, like ketchup, etc... and was well equipped. I highly recommend this place! Compared to other villas, the price is fair, there are three bedrooms and every bedroom has TV. I watched a couple of movies with my daughter. The Tv's are easy to use and easy to find good movies. The internet always worked great, the a/c was perfect. Although you need your Villa card to unlock the elevator, the parking, and the gate to the beach and it's hard at the beginning to keep remembering to always have your card handy, you do feel safer. Besides, that adds exclusivity to the Villas.
I want to add one thing for the people new to Airbnb. Be sure to be always be in contact with your host before arriving to any place you are staying. We did not do that and it was totally our mistake. Our host was nice and quick to resolve the issue, but, who knows if we had stayed in a different place.
Mahalo Alfred&Deanna!
