Phil was extremely generous when we stayed at his studio. He allowed us to check in earlier than 3pm and he came to check on us when we first arrived. The backyard has a great view of the ocean! And he provides a lot of equipment like snorkeling gear and boogie boards.
The door to the rental has a nice security lock on the knob so there's no worry about losing keys! He has the whole path to the door lit with motion lights so that if you come back at night, you don't need to worry about tripping over anything. There's plenty of light! The neighborhood is nice and quiet and he has a designated parking spot in front of the house.
He made the whole process super easy. His place is super close to shopping centers if you need anything and about 30min away from the airport and Waikiki (depending on traffic). He has an info sheet on the table when you walk in which was super helpful and a great idea. If you have any questions, he answers in a timely manner.
Much thanks to Phil to opening up his space to us strangers! A excellent experience!
