Quick demographics about us:
Family of four with two young children. This was our first AirBNB stay.
William and Ingrid knocked it out of the park. The property and hosts could not have better met our needs, and we were treated to many unexpected amenities beyond the listing. For example, they provided top of the line beach chairs, beach umbrella, cooler, sand toys, and body boards. They were responsive to both times we reached out within an hour or so, and the checkin process was a breeze. So easy.
The resort area features a very well maintained pool and two water slides that were a huge hit for the kids. Really neat waterfall area on the resort’s lazy river too! Good proximity to east side beaches (I recommend Lydgate for families), and the property’s restaurant serves Duck Wings that are an absolute must try. You are right across the street from two grocery stores as well.
Regarding the property, it was modern with all high end appliances. We were able to cook two pizzas in the oven one evening. Huge bathroom and tub, and the shower head is good for brushing off excess sand from the beach. They also have a washer/dryer in the unit. Lastly, in the small-things-make-all-the-difference department, they provide plenty of dish soap, laundry soap, paper towels, and other essentials. I’ve read stories about how some hosts only provide one roll of toilet paper for guests?! What’s that about? Anyway, we didn’t feel nickel-and-dimed, and it speaks to their emphasis on providing a top quality property. They have all of the kitchen utensils you could ever need too.
The hosts are the type of people who will let you check out a bit later so long as they don’t have a pending arrival on the same night. We were fortunate that this was our case, and they allowed us to stay in the room a few extra hours to accommodate a later flight.
All in all, I feel like we were treated to a timeshare quality property without the hassles of monthly dues or blackout dates!
This is an easy 5-star recommendation, especially for families. Thank you William and Ingrid for helping make our Hawaiian vacation so wonderful!
