Roxanne was easy to get a hold of and communicate with. She allowed me to check in to the home while she was out so that I could settle in by myself.
HOUSE - The home is cute....very beachy themed 'shabby chic'. The room I stayed in was clean, there were towels and extra sheets/blankets left for me to utilize. The bathroom I had access to was furnished with little travel size amenities to use, that was a pleasant surprise.
PROXIMITY - Her home is close to Diamond Head. It was the perfect locale for me to get in my morning run. There are LOTS of people also running around Diamond Head throughout the whole day. There is even a little exercise/workout park at the bottom of Diamond Head. (I'm a workout junkie, so this was a great addition to my stay.)
BEACH - The beach access next her home is easy to get to. The beach is small and quiet. It's clearly a place that locals visit often. That's a nice change to Waikiki and other busy beaches. It's also a great place for snorkeling.
HOSPITALITY - Roxanne was at home during my stay (her mom was also there visiting). They were both super nice. Roxanne gave me ideas of places to go and visit. She even included me on some outings. But she was not pushy. I still was able to go and do my own things as I pleased. We even shared a few glasses of wine on her lanai. I felt VERY comfortable coming and going throughout my stay.
Thank you so much for your hospitality!
