Vacation review for Baby Honu in Kailua, Oahu:
Aloha! Oh my goodness..............too much to say about Baby Honu. I loved the fact this home is on a lane right across from the Kailua Beach Park. The Home is at the end of the lane, with a Golf Course right behind the home. Sooooo........you get quiet on the golf course side, and all natural sounds surrounding you. Tons of birds to wake you in the morning, sounds of peoples laughter from the beach, Hawaiian music if there is an event at the park, sounds of paddlers in sync..........its a great location to stay. The person who is the caretaker, she is soooo wonderful and accommodating. You could not have asked for a better person to accompany this local. We love Fat Boys to eat at, but for ambiance...........Buzz's has it beat. The Shorebird in Waikiki is great fun and good food too, super reasonable! The best part of my trip was the people, as always. The local Hawaiians if you respect their land and privacy are what make Hawaii. We went on an excursion one day to find a 30ft whale at the North Shore Macapino Road that had washed up. It was a shark frenzy.......... They had to get the whale out fast as the oils were bringing in thousands of sharks from all around. The road was too rocky to drive on and about a mile and a half hike (not bad) but on a private road. So after talking to the road workers.....we thought it best to give up the hunt. But we had a great adventure anyway, and met MORE locals with great Hawaiian humor! I hope the best for Baby Honu...........but I DONT want Kailua spoiled by toooo many tourist. I encountered an idiot tourist at Kailua beach one day and just had to laugh. I had on Maui Jim sunglasses the only way to view Hawaii waters, and I was telling her about the difference in the color of the water with them on...........and she said.........."I am not interested in buying sunglasses from you!"..........and man was she a piece of work.......freakin idiot! I just gave her stink eye and said Mahalo! The booking agent Renee was outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I messed up on the overlap of two places we stayed at, and she was soooooo great to help us out to book another 2 nites. Mahalo and boy do we MISS Kailua already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
