The views are incredible, it really is almost 180 lol the window extends all the way to the bathroom if the appliances aren’t there. We spend New Years here and got front row seats to the fireworks shows all around the city and even up the mountains! Owners are very quick to respond and because they sent us to the Hawaii travel site, we were able to save some time at the airport for verification while others were frantically registering. The room is the perfect size and you can easily move around. The kitchenette is very equipped and everything you need are in the cabinets. The place was really clean and the sheets smell wonderful. The furniture are fairly new and there are snorkeling goggles, beach towels, and a couple boogie boards. Bathroom is well lilt, plenty of counter space and water pressure is good. The shower temp does not remain constant so you’ll get free hydrotherapy lol The pool area is expansive and the jacuzzi is kinda small but ppl are aware and willing to give you a turn. This wouldn’t a full review without some cons:
Bathroom
-smells kind of like puke initially but you can air it out
-newly caulk but def not renovated
-stained and discolored toilet and tub not like pictures (it’s definitely cleaned just need to be replaced or coated)
Logistics
-parking is a pain initially and it’s human operated, there are no signs in the front to tell you it’s cash only until you pull all the way up then you get some huffing and puffing, eyerolls, sarcastic comments from the lady in the crutches who eventually condescendingly tells you the atm is at the end of the hall and for you to awkwardly back up your car
- there’s no beach towel exchange system so you’ll have to wash your own, who wants to do laundry during vaca?
Overall, this airbnb is pretty solid for the value and location. Everyplace has its downsides and if you want more efficient processes you can book a actual hotel on wakiki beach strip, but you’ll still have to deal with traffic getting in and out. I still recommend this Airbnb and would return again.
