This was our first AirBNB trip, so we were nervous. Was the place going to be as nice as the photos? Did it really include everything that's listed in the ad?
Well, we were not disappointed - Michael's place is beautiful, nicer than the pics (we didn't think that was possible), and it was exactly what we were looking for.
The unit overlooks the 'quiet pool', which allowed us to enjoy the view without the normal pool party atmosphere. It was a short walk through the property, past the quiet pool, the koi pond, and the second pool, to the lagoon.
The grounds were beautifully landscaped, the ocean was clear, the beach was spotless, and there were plenty of fish to see when we snorkeled (using the gear that Michael provided). It was never noisy or crowded, like it is in Honolulu. Having a kitchen was a huge plus - not eating out for every meal saved a bunch of money. The folks at check in even recommended a couple of restaurants that were fantastic.
We're already planning the trip back.
