Incredible location! It's an easy walk to Waimanalo, one of the most stunning beaches in the world. Especially nice is that Alex has beach chairs, an umbrella, beach towels and boogie boards that you can use. There's also a sitting area in the lush and private yard where I spent many hours reading. The unit is simple and older but clean and spacious. It was nice to have a toaster, coffee maker and fridge to prepare some quick meals. It's in the country and an airy space, so there's normal Hawaiian 'nature' - mosquitoes etc. and we even had some geckos come visit. There are chickens and a handsome rooster who regularly visit the yard so be prepared for clucking and cockadoodledoo-ing. A completely different experience than staying at a crowded resort. We had a great stay with lots of quality beach and relaxation time. Alex was super responsive and a great host.
