A friend at work turned me on to airbnb when she heard I was trying to plan a great college graduation trip for my kids. I am so grateful that she did. We rented the Sunset Beach "Backyards Hula Hut" and felt like we left Dallas and ended up in heaven. The house was exactly as described by Melissa. She is a great host. She answered my questions immediately and the house was exactly as described on the airbnb site. My family of 4 was very comfortable there. Having a kitchen is a great plus. We loved the back yard with the covered picnic table and fire pit. We loved that you went down the lava steps to the amazing secluded beach. This place was EXACTLY what we were looking for. I am SO glad that I took my co-workers advice and didn't stay in Waikiki. Having never used airbnb before, I wasn't sure what we were getting in to, but Melissa was so nice, it just felt right. When we got there, all three guest parking spaces were full. I called Mandy, the property manager, to ask about it. Within 3 minutes she walking down the driveway (big plus that she lives a few houses away). She was incredibly responsive and dealt with it immediately. She was very professional. We didn't have any other issue at all, but it was comforting to know that Mandy was ready, willing and able to handle anything. The other guests were very friendly and nice and everybody just looked so happy to be there. The host supplies beach cruisers (bicycles), along with beach chairs, beach towels, sand and surf shoes of various sizes, snorkels, masks, fins and body boards! There is a washer and dryer right, with detergent. Brilliant. I read the other reviews for her property, which is how we found out about Ted's Bakery. It's right across the road and a great source for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great food and great prices. Also very close to the Foodland grocery store. When we pried ourselves away from the amazing beach, we headed to Haleiwa. Such a fun town. As we headed back to the airport, we were already trying to figure out when we could come back! Just amazing!
