Wonderful family vacation
My family and I (6 adults) stayed at Ethel and Mike’s house from 5/26-6/9 and had an absolute blast. The location was great. We wanted to be away from crowds, tourists and the idea was not to stay at a resort and/or 20th floor of the condominium in Waikiki. We wanted to feel like we are on the island and Hau’ula provided that feeling. 3 bedrooms, two baths, big salon and spacious kitchen were perfect for us. The cherry on top was the porch we could hang out on in the evenings. We could see the ocean from the porch! The house had all the amenities you would need, washer/dryer, toaster, microwave, beach chairs, towels, to name a few. The communication with Ethel and Mike was smooth, they were very responsive and willing to help. Ethel provided a great description of the area, stores, food trucks, fun things to do. The only minor thing was that the last room would get really hot, even with the fan on, since the A/C air from the living room and the master bedroom wasn’t getting there fast enough. In the end it wasn’t a big deal. Bottom line: we all had a great time, loved the house, the area and friendly neighbors, who always waved to us when leaving or coming back home. Thank you so much Ethel and Mike for making this a memorable vacation for me (a frequent Hawai’i traveler) and my family (first timers).
