Great quite place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay here! The room was clean and had plenty of space for our luggage. They provided towels/beach towels and cooking suppies with a griddle. Danny made check in easy and was quick to reply whenever we needed anything. He even took us out surfing which was a great experience!.It is a little far from the big tour attractions so just plan on extra driving time with morning traffic. But the neighborhood is quite and only a 5 minute walk from a gorgeous beach.

Lovely Host and Hostess

The host and hostess were so lovely, and requests were greeted with helpfulness. The king-size bed was comfortable. The indoor shower wand was quickly hot and easy to adjust the temperature. We could have subsisted with just a Microwave. Though the electric frying pan exponentially increased our ability to prepare more-nourishing meals. This location is great if surfing, swimming and relaxing on the beach is your pleasure. It is near the best hike on the island at Ka'ena Point State Park. We were early to bed and early to rise during our January stay, as it was hot in the afternoon sun even then.

Perfect for me

Danny was a great host. I was looking to surf around the island as an intermediate. He gave me good advice. The suite was exactly what I was looking for. Chill vibe, comfy bed, easy surfboard storage. West side was right up my alley. Met a lot of friendly people here.

Great quiet little spot.

Excellent hosts, easy going and chill to work with. Come with a golden 🐕 Simple/minimal room attached to garage, backyard deck with great star viewing at night. Great semi isolated beaches nearby.

A good place to rest

This is a small, clean, easy accessible studio but really is just set up to be a place to shower & rest. There is no TV so if you're like me & want to watch something to wind down at the end of the day you'll have to use your own phone, iPad, laptop, etc. The host is very kind & friendly & lets you say hi to the dogs if you'd like (which who doesn't love dogs?!). The host let us borrow beach gear & offered surf lessons! My boyfriend took the lessons while I relaxed on the beach & we both enjoyed ourselves a lot! The location is rural, definitely not a tourist part of the island which was a nice change of pace during our stay on Oahu. Overall, it was exactly what we needed just to rest & I would recommend this place to anyone who was looking for something simple.

Okay

This is a quaint room close to the beach. Danny is a very knowledgeable host of places to go for food and surfing. The air conditioner was on, but room was not cool for a few hours after arrival. My husband and I did not personally feel comfortable staying here the whole time we booked because of the locking/entrance arrangements. Understandably, even after discussing the issues we had with the property, we were not refunded any amount of money. Overall, not a bad place. It may have been a better fit for others, just not for us on our honeymoon.
