Great House, Fabulous Location
Review Submitted: June 30, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
Our group of 6 (three adults and three teenagers) stayed at the beach house in June to celebrate our daughter's high school graduation. The house was exactly as described on the website, clean, well-maintained, and fully stocked with cookware, linens, towels, etc. The location was perfect and everything you could need is located close by.
The local beach is a short two-minute walk down a tree-lined lane and it was wonderful to be so close instead of having to pack everything up in a car or walk through a crowd in a hotel lobby. All standard beach supplies (boogie boards, towels, snorkel & mask) are included but if you need something special there is a shop up the street with rentals as well. The washer & dryer were really handy due to all our beach trips and all supplies are included.
We went to the Honolulu flea market at Aloha Stadium near the beginning of our trip (open Wed, Sat, & Sun) and we all had a fun time shopping for inexpensive gifts (great way for our teenagers to stay in their budget - once they saw the prices there it was much easier for them to pass up higher priced gift shops later in the trip).
There is a Costco (with a gas station) on the way from the airport to the house so we stocked up (really cool selection of local foods, etc.,) on the first day and then filled in by shopping at the Foodland near the house. There are some local fruit stands and shrimp trucks further up the North Shore (on the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center) that are nice to stop at and a local farmer's market by the Soap Factory on Saturday that had some great produce and BBQ stands.
We would definitely stay here again and have been recommending the house to all our friends. Aaron & Anna were very helpful and all our arrangements were handled very promptly and professionally. They also rent a smaller house next door, so my husband and I are already strategizing a way to come back on our own for a future vacation.
Mahalo for a wonderful stay!
