Wonderful Trip Back Home to the Islands
This place was fantastic and was made better thanks to the treatment by our host Kathleen and Ferdie. Born and raised in Honolulu we made a trip back to visit family. This location was perfect for those wanting to stay in "town". Walking distance to the famous Leonards Bakery and their famous Malasadas and did alot of shopping at Foodland for local "poke" and Safeway. Short drive to Waikiki beach and Ala Moana Shopping center. It sits up in St. Louis heights w/a beautiful view of the ocean and got alot of trade winds to keep the house cool. The house has A/C but only used it in the late afternoon in the living room area to cool it down. After sunset turned the A/C off and opened up the house again for the trade winds. The house has everything needed to cook family means, which we did alot. We had our adult children, their spouses and 2 brand new grandsons w/my wife and I. Plenty of space for everyone. Wi-Fi worked great and our son needed to do some virtual work out back in the playhouse and the Wi-Fi reached there w/o any problems. There is a Toyota Siena Van that comes w/the home to use and we had a rental van already but it came in handy when one of our adult children at the last minute was able to join us. Kathleen and Ferdie went out of their way to purchase a crib for our 8 month old grandson to use there since one wasn't there originally(there is one now) and also purchased brand new baby toys. We are ABNB/VRBO veterans and this couple went way above and beyond anyone we've ever dealt with. They kept checking up on us to make sure everything was going smoothly. Will definitely use this home again when we return.
