If you have the right expectations, this is a great place to base yourself for a stay on Oahu!
It is not a completely private getaway or a gleaming, modern space. It is more like a traditional Bed & Breakfast... without the Breakfast. You are staying across the pool from the owners' house, and you will interact with them a little. Gail was there to greet us and during our stay was very helpful with restaurant recommendations, electrical tape to fix our rental car keychain, and most things we requested. Her daughter (who manages the bookings/communication) stopped by a few times during our 9-night stay and asked if we could think of anything that was missing that she could look into getting. Very friendly and helpful folks.
Some things to note:
- There isn't a place to turn around in the parking area, at least not very easily. You need to be comfortable backing out the car through the gate, and it's not a straight-shot.
- As mentioned in the listing, there is no A/C. I was a bit worried. But there are ceiling fans in the bedrooms and by opening all the windows we got a good breeze to be comfortable overnight.
- The downstairs bathroom (shower & toilet) is between the bedroom and the stairs/kitchen, closed off by pocket doors on both sides. It is small, but does the trick. There is a small counter & sink in the bedroom.
- The dining area is outside under cover, and sheltered by movable glass walls/doors overlooking the bay.
