My friends and I stayed in the large Sunny Room and loved it. It was a perfect fit for three college guys, so accommodating a small family wouldn't be a problem. Overall, it is a beautiful and airy home tucked away in a quiet neighborhood next to a private golf course. If you are looking for a place away from the craziness and crowds of Honolulu, this is the place.
Thomas was out of town for the majority of our trip, but when he returned he was welcoming and easy to get along with. He likes to keep the house clean, so you should have no problem following the house rules if you know the basics of cleaning up after yourself. The kitchen is large and great for cooking, just be sure to clean your dishes after each use and to keep your designated kitchen/fridge areas tidy.
We were lucky enough to share the house with some other great and enjoyable guests. After a day out exploring the island it almost felt like home returning back to the house to see everyone, share a meal and catch up on the day's adventures.
There are some great hikes nearby and Kailua beach is one of the nicest on the island. Thomas has a lot of beach equipment that you can borrow, just be sure to take care of it and treat it like your own.
Overall, it was a great place and a good fit for my friends and I.
