Cindy's place is in the perfect location with stunning views from every angle. The town is just far enough from Waikiki to avoid the hustle and bustle but close enough to go explore daily for entertainment. Also, we loved how accessible lanikai beach was from the house (one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.) There was a mall just a few blocks away and a variety of local eateries and shops. The home gave us a taste of the real hawaiian lifestyle with a touch of modern elements. The home was decorated with so much thoughtfulness and simplicity that it felt larger than it actually was. The hues of blue and marine life decor is expertly executed throughout the home.
I appreciated the luxury bath/beach towels and amenities.
Everything you would need to prepare meals, enjoy a day on the beach and for personal care was there. You could literally just show up with a change of clothes!
For clarity it is an older home that has had some modern updates, so it's not going to give you that new construction luxury vibe, and you may have a hiccup or two that comes along with an older property but if you are looking for a clean, cute, authentic hawaiian experience then this is your place.
I don't think I would find anything comparable to the experience we had for the value. Not to mention Cindy was there to welcome us and answer all of questions, and available to assist with concerns during our stay. She was the ideal host, not intrusive, yet helpful and understanding.
