My friend and I flew to Oahu for a girls weekend, but left pretty upset. We originally booked a van from Al, but the night before our booking he asked if we would be okay with a prius instead. We said yes because we didn’t have any other affordable airbnb options. We slept in the prius on the beach and that was fine, but then the first morning we went to Makua Beach for early morning dolphin sightings based on a recommendation from Al. Not being familiar with the island, we went to do that unaware that that beach is known for theft. Within an hour of being there we went back to the car and found a smashed in window and all of our belongings stolen. We filed a police report, and the police told us that everyone who lives here knows to avoid this area because theft happens all the time. Al made me pay for the broken window with my deposit. It was still convenient to keep the car for the rest of the weekend, but because of the broken window and glass everywhere we had to find a different place to stay that night. Our weekend was ruined to say the least. If you rent from Al, please familiarize yourself with the safe areas of the island, or you could lose over $1500 of personal items and security deposits like we did.
