This was my first air bnb experience and I absolutely loved it! Such a great option for people who don't plan on spending much time at their hotel or resort. Our room was clean and very spacious. We had a bathroom to ourselves which was also very clean and had everything provided (towels, shampoo, etc.). Thomas has a garage full of goodies that we took advantage of including lots of snorkel gear, bikes, backpacks for hiking, other items you may need for hiking, kayaks, swimming goggles, beach towels, and lots more! This was great! I was amazed at how "at home" I felt in someone else's house. We only saw Thomas once briefly as he was taking the trash to the curb and we were headed to breakfast on the bikes. For the most part it felt like we had the whole house to ourselves. He has everything nicely labeled in the kitchen so you don't feel awkward rummaging around through someone else's things looking for pots, pans, silverware, etc. The location is perfect! If you are debating between Honolulu/Waikiki and Kailua, I would definitely recommend Kailua. It has all the amenities of a city (lots of restaurants and close grocery stores) but it does not feel busy or touristy. His house is minutes from the beach as well as town (as previously stated, we road bikes to breakfast one morning). It is easy and quick to get to the highways from this area as well so we didn't waste any time getting to explore every inch of the island! We absolutely loved our stay. Oh yeah, and Thomas even had a Hawaiian Dole Pineapple waiting for us in our room when we arrived!
