The Eva Beach cottage is easily the best Airbnb I have experienced. Very recently updated, the two story accommodation is literally on beach front property. Walk through the front yard and you are on your own piece of Oahu heaven: gorgeous beach stretching in both directions, and nary a soul in sight. You can't get that in the Kahala, Turtle Bay, or any of the high-end hotels. You also won't get the overinflated tab for each and every meal you eat in those places, because you can cook in the private kitchen, go out when you want something fancy, or order in with Door Dash etc. There is a large Safeway within a mile or two, as well as a large variety of local and chain shopping outlets.
There was body boards and beach toys galore free for the kids to use, and a fairly nice break close by for surfing. The place has private gated parking for the guest house, and an amazing outside covered patio for grilling, and enjoying the evening air. It is a stand alone building so private, and was a perfect size for my family.
Finally about the host. Mike is absolutely genuine, considerate, and helpful. He has a encyclopedic knowledge of the islands, and these qualities made our stay more than it ever could have been without him. Can not recommend this place highly enough. Simply stated, we plan to return for years and years to come. Thanks Mike!
