My girlfriend and I LOVED our stay at Summer’s!
Checking in involved following Summer’s instructions to your free parking on the 10th floor. The turn into the parking structure is easy to miss, but that’s nothing we had a problem with so long as we had Summer’s explicit directions. I’ll admit, the parking spot was on the 10th floor while our studio was on the 4th, which could pose as an inconvenience at first glance, but if you remember that the parking was entirely FREE for our 10-day stay in Honolulu, it was absolutely worth the tiny elevator rides, driving up and down the parking structure, and walking.
Checking in was very flexible, as we came 3 hours prior to the actual check-in time. THIS WON’T ALWAYS HAPPEN THOUGH!! Summer, being the flexible Airbnb host that she is, so graciously allowed us to check in ahead of time, as there was no tenant before the beginning of our stay.
Now to the actual PLACE! Everything described was clean and accurate! There was ample space for our belongings for our 10-day stay AND THEN SOME! The two nightstands had two drawers each, so the place was very capacious. The bathroom was nice, pretty simple faucet and plenty of hot\cold water, so that was never an issue, which was awesome! The bathtub can also heat up at whatever temperature you set it to, which was a craaazy luxury, so that was really nice.
There were many amenities at Summer’s, including beach chairs, a cooler, an iron, as well as streaming services (Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Netflix). The wifi was strong, never an issue. We used their rice cooker (and their rice!) and there were utensils readily available.
Summer and Eriko themselves were very pleasant hosts! They didn’t ever take more than half an hour to reply to any of my requests, and in some cases they replied immediately! Bravo on their part. Aside from being attentive, our hosts were welcoming and friendly, and even had a binder with recommendations of places to visit during our stay!! When in Hawaii!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’d definitely choose Summer’s place over a hotel. Thanks so much, Summer and Eriko! You made our vacation memorable. Mahalo!
