Our Minnesota family of five just returned from spending three incredibly rewarding vacation weeks enjoying Kelly’s Airbnb, and the beautiful landscape and people of the North Shore, Oah’u. We were so well-cared for by Kelly and her family. They responded immediately to any questions or needs we expressed. Their response was based on a genuine desire for our family to feel welcomed and cared for during our time in their home. The home was immaculate, clean. It is obvious that a lot of love and attention went into preparing the home for guests to feel like they were home - from the beautiful artwork on the walls, to the comfortable beds, to the well-equipped and well-stocked kitchen; the sand toys, beach chairs and a carrier, boogie boards, and other fun stuff for the beach which was only a 5 to 10 minute walk away. And every morning, our family greeted the sunrise with tea, coffee and breakfast on a generous lanai. On our family walks around the neighborhood, we were greeted by generous views of surrounding mountains. The location of the home is well-centered for activities. Not only the short walk to the beach, but a short car ride to the Polynesian Cultural Center, the North Shore food truck area, which included the famous Giovanni‘s shrimp truck. We were just a 10 minute drive from the stunning Turtle Bay Resort, and minutes away from Gunstock Ranch, where we made friends with Cody, Tex and Ruger - three of the horses we rode during our horseback riding tours. We were also just 30 minutes away from the historic town of Haleiwa, where we enjoyed kayaking, a shark cage dive, shopping for souvenirs and Matsumoto’s famous shave ice. We LOVED this home and the way we were cared for by Kelly and her family on our vacation. We are planning to come back and stay in this home again within the next two years for a much longer period of time. We understand vacation planning can be both exciting and stressful, especially nowadays. Many logistics, many choices, many decisions. What we can offer from our experience in Kelly‘s Airbnb is that if a family wants a more quiet, more country/tropical experience in a laid-back environment, while enjoying the comforts of a well- kept home, with an experienced, caring host consider contacting Kelly to explore the possibility of staying in her family’s airbnb.
