Beach camping

Enjoyed our stay. Friendly host and safe area. Loved the fire pit right on the beach. Very affordable, especially compared to staying in the Honolulu area.

Beach front camp

David was incredibly kind and the campsite had everything you could possibly need- including the beautiful private beach steps away from the site. I’d recommend spending more than one night here as it is a bit hard to get to from Honolulu just because of the traffic. The site is also a little less private feeling when the one other campsite is also booked

Beach front camp

The set up is right on the beach, as described. The beach has minimal foot traffic throughout the day and it’s the perfect place to relax. I had a BBQ with the host and his wife. He brought me fresh fruit from the property. He was very helpful with information. I was a solo female traveler and felt very safe and looked after. This isn’t even a plan B, this should be your first choice.

This is a nice beach camp amongst other houses. But it was private and enjoyable.

Recommend, with a couple caveats

The location is on the southern shore, west of Honolulu. Parking was easy and there were close shopping centers. Our host was quirky, but responsive. The accommodations were more spacious than expected. They had a hot plate, microwave and a few pans/cooking implements. Bring your own coffee mugs. The location was directly on the beach and had beach recliners and tables that could be used on the beach. The beach was very short (not a lot of sand area) and probably isn't the best for kids, although my husband and I enjoyed our beach immensely. Walking down the beachline I only saw like 5 or 6 people, mostly people on their own property enjoying the sunset. They had an air mattress that did need some reinflation each night, but wasn't bad as far as air mattresses go. There were fireworks set off that sounded like gunshots when they are close. It wasn't all night, but it did freak us out as we were winding down for bed. If you are a clean freak or don't want to interact with your host, it's not the best place for you. However, if you're up for a little adventure and can deal with a little grime behind the toilet, go for it. You pay extra for laundry or A/C. We found the stay worth the cost.

Incredible Value

We had an excellent experience. $50 a day was refreshingly manageable. AC is extra, but even at the expensive $25 a day price point, that still puts the total cost well below average. There's free parking which removes so much of the nightmare of travel we experienced when we stayed in Waikiki. David communicated clearly and transparently, which I really appreciated. The room gets hot during the day, so if you're not out adventuring, you will need AC. We managed to avoid needing AC the whole time we stayed. There are a few small quirks like how to turn the shower hot water and bathroom fan on, but no problem. The room is 100 yds from a beach complete with awning and beach chairs. The water was a little deep and choppy, so not good for swimming, but still nice. The bed is an inflatable mattress with a foam topper, so be warned if you need a firm bed. David and his wife were very respectful, but there is a shared wall with what I presume is their kitchen, so you hear noises throughout the day. I presume they could hear us as well.
