Mike's AirBnb was like being at home accept at the most beautiful place on earth and really captured the spirit of ALOHA. We will never stay in Honolulu or the city again. Hauula is approximately 45 minute drive from the airport but well worth it if you want to experience the beauty of the island and not just a crowded tourist city. We could've stayed there for a year!
Mike (host) went the extra mile! The accommodations were brand new, fully updated look, EXTRA clean, with island style, zero clutter. The master room is giant with new window a/c if needed (but the weather was perfect so rarely needed a/c), the middle room average, and the 3rd room is quite small but has new window a/c . We prefer the windows open to feel the ocean breeze.
The bonus surprises that we did not expect that saved us tons of money was that there was a fully stocked spice rack and some left over condiments. Good brand Shampoo, conditioner and body wash was provided. We loved that there were at least 10-12 bath towels and an additional 10-12 beach towels. All the appliances worked well. We had access to the washer/dryer every other day. The host Mike, greeted us warmly, and even though they live on the bottom floor, they never interrupted us, we never saw or heard them. We woke up and went to the balcony to view the incredible lush mountains to the left and the beach 2 minute walk. There were hiking trails within a 3 minute walk, delicious vendors 5-10 minute drive away. 7/11 walking distance. It was the perfect location for our family of 4 adults and we will be back. Thanks so much Mike & family. Aloha
