Private studio apartment (attached to the owner's home). On the beach with a "backyard" with a backdrop of the Koolau mountains. Very remote neighborhood on the windward side 45 min from Waikiki. Gated access to private, off-street parking for our guests. Step out of your room into a spa/hot tub with an ocean view on the adjacent deck. NOT "TOURISTY". Avoid this property if you wish to mingle with (other) tourists. The lot is located directly on a small sandy beach that is usually deserted even on weekends. The backyard has spectacular views of the Koolau range with occasional waterfalls during the frequent rains. Your retired Hosts live in the same building and are generally available during your entire stay. We communicate very effectively with our guests using text messaging but are also available directly (just knock) or via cell phone. This home is located in Kaaawa, Hawaii, United States. For us, the weather is much more pleasant than on other parts of the island. It rains almost every day, usually at night and in the early morning and the temperature is a very comfortable at 78 - 81 degrees F (always 5 degrees cooler than Honolulu) with mostly sunny afternoons. Kaaawa is a rural neighborhood with a post office, gas station, and a 7-11 convenience store the only services within 10 miles. Tours and activities are available nearby at the Kualoa Ranch and there are several small churches within ten minutes of the apartment. There is bus stop at the address (directly across the street in the southbound direction) and the bus line delivers passengers to the Ala Moana Shopping Center to the South and Haleiwa (and Turtle Bay Resort) to the North without transfers. A bus stops every 40 minutes. This location is remote. A rental car is highly recommended. Full-function massage chair with built-in foot massager with rollers and relaxation music. Private spa (hot tub). Perfect for star-gazing just before bed. Nespresso (espresso/cappuccino) machine with milk frother. Bottled water included. Starter supply of orange juice (or other fruit juice as requested), milk, small snacks provided.
