Our stay was great. Phil was a great host! He met us when we checked in. He stayed away and left us alone, but we knew he was always there to answer our questions/concerns. The part of the house we stayed in was adequate for our needs. Having a full kitchen at our disposal helped us avoid eating out all the time and the weight gains associated with it.
The rental is in a very nice and quiet, working neighborhood. We met one of the next-door neighbors; he was really friendly and even spent some time chatting with us after a hard day at work. As for convenience, you could not get a better location. Within a three miles radius, there were numerous stores like Walmart, Target, Safeway, Home Depot, and Costco. There were a lot of restaurants as well like local favorites Zippy's, Sushi Bay, Chun Wah Kam, and MonkeyPod Kitchen, as well as franchise staples like McDonalds and Burger King. Ko 'Olina resorts were just a short drive away, and highway/freeway access was just down the road.
Weather wise, it was beautiful with partly-cloudy and breezy conditions the entire time we were there. It made the laundry dry very quickly on the clothes lines outside. In a nutshell, we were happy to stay in Phil's rental.
