It was our first time visiting Hawaii and we needed a place to accommodate our big family (6 adults and 1 child) - we also wanted a home with AC throughout the house. Most homes on Oahu didn't have any AC and that was hard for us to imagine since we're from Texas! I'm so glad we found Monique's place!

Pros:
- The home was as advertised and the price really couldn't be beat.
- Easy parking spots (we had 2 rentals)
- Neighborhood was great! Everyone in the neighborhood was really friendly when we'd see them around. The neighborhood is right next to the mountains too. It was gorgeous!
- Beach: Every night we walked down the street to the beach. There were barely any folks there and if there were, they were families from the neighborhood - not any tourists really.
- Beach chairs and boogie board were left out for us to use and it was really helpful every time we went out! (Umbrella didn't work well in windy areas though but it did work on the calmer beaches)
- Easy check in and out. Monique doesn't ask for much! Just that her home is taken care of and left as it was found.

Cons:
- The kitchen area and second bedroom could be cleaner, but it wasn't too bad.

If you're looking for a more local, authentic place to stay on Oahu, I would still recommend this one! (Also, just a tip - check out Sharks Cove! It's pretty close to the home *aprox 20 min* and is such a great snorkeling area!)
