When I was first looking I saw this had some of the most reviews and I see why. Ok here’s what you can expect. Me and my 4 children explored the entire island of Oahu. Saw the city side, suburb area, rougher area, country side and I will say we couldn’t have picked a better location. It is on what I would say is the local side and that’s where the true experience is. All of the best beaches are on that side. And the one within walking distance was actually one of my favorites. Pounders beach. Good for catching some waves on a boogie board. All of which provided. All the beaches near there are away from the tourist crowd. Only locals around camping out and cooking. Don’t feel skeptical turning on the dirt road to get to hut. There is a gem back there and felt so safe. Gorgeous backyard with fruit trees surrounding. This place has everything you need and more. Host Tuika just a text away. Saul who we adored came to check on us numerous times and gave some insight on the plants/trees on property. Split some coconuts for us to drink some fresh coco water. I mean come on I highly doubt you can find that anywhere else. There hospitality was second to none. Tuika and Saul if you are reading this, Mahalo!
Few recommendations: Absolute must!!! *Polynesian culture center. Which happens to be right next door to location. Experience the Ha! Breathe of life. It was literally breathe taking.
*Kualoa Ranch - Jurassic alley. Cool to see all the movies you’ve seen and be right there in middle of mountains.
* Bobs. Stop there when you land before you head to Hut. Some of the best food on island and it’s just a little mom n pop shop. You won’t regret.
I hope this helps the next family! Aloha and Mahalo :)
