We had a good stay at Brian’s place. It’s an amazing location with the beach strip just a short walk away. There are also plenty of ABC stores and cafes to get you settled in and going in the morning.
We had an issue with the parking pass being missing when we arrived but Brian was able to resolve with little effort from us. He promptly reimbursed us for the one night we had to pay for parking.
The balcony was one of my favorite places to hang out. Perfect for breakfast. The dishwasher in the unit was really convenient. We found that the unit had a few missing finishing touches, like a missing faceplate on one of the light switches, having only one toilet paper roll stocked in the unit, and we noticed some dirty socks and crumbs, presumably from other customers before us. No big deal for us, but worth mentioning. That said, overall the place was fairly tidy. Also one of the elevators was out of order for most of our stay so it wouldn’t be unusual to be waiting for an elevator for several minutes, which was a little annoying.
Overall, this unit is in an extremely walkable location and the free parking is an amazing perk offered by Brian. We enjoying exploring elsewhere on the island too. Diamond Head hike for great views. And Kuoloa Ranch was so much fun. We also did a turtle snorkeling tour and a whale watching tour. We didn’t see any whales this time but it’s pretty late in the year.
Thanks for a great start to our vacation, Brian!!
