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.

Danny is simply wonderful. He was very accommodating and informative. Had I known that was the case, I wouldn’t have spent so much time planning things. His dog, Reef, is there to great you but you never hear him. It’s a quick two block walk to the beach one direction or a 3-4 block walk to a beach in the other direction. Great hikes all around. It’s great if you find a cheap flight to Oahu and don’t want to be anywhere near the city. That being said it is a good 30-40 minute drive to Honolulu. Which for us, was perfect. Danny had a cooler bag for us to use, beach chairs, towels, games, etc. the back patio was the best place to sit and enjoy the evening after showering off the dust and sand from the days hike or beach. Mahalo, Danny!

Perfect for a functional and comfortable base camp, but don’t expect spotlessness or luxury.
Highlights: Danny was a fantastic host, excellent at communication and recommendations. Provided a bunch of free gear for us to use, like snorkeling gear, beach umbrella, beach towel, and beach chairs. Outdoor shower is refreshing, but beware of bugs at night. Room had everything we needed, including hot plate which we used to make breakfast each morning. Comfortable and clean bed. Private patio with great view of large lush backyard and stargazing. Private entrance. AC and fan work great in tandem to keep the room cool. Reef the dog is a highlight. Quiet, local neighborhood. 5-minute walk from stunning beach. Danny hooked us up with well-priced and fun surf lessons.
What could have been better: the room was definitely well-worn (instances of water stains, rust, chipped paint, chipped wood, worn caulking, etc.). Blackout curtains would have been nice to keep out the sun, as well as a stronger curtain rod. Some of the provided kitchen amenities had a layer of dust on them, and the instant coffee was well-expired. Keep in mind this is natural Hawaii; you will likely see bugs in the room.

We found Danny's place to be a great home base for our time in Oahu. Everything was just as stated in the listing. The room was neat and tidy. The A/C worked well the bed was super comfy. The coffee/cooking area and bathroom were well supplied. The shower was great and had plentiful hot water. We also really enjoyed the small deck just for us! The location was great, easy drive to all the things you want to do on Oahu. Danny was a generous, helpful, and very friendly host. He answered messages promptly and had great suggestions and advice for things to do and how to get there. Definitely recommend the Surfers Dream Studio.

Most important: From the beginning my partner was killing roaches and I feel terrible because I was dismissive, saying it's like FL, there are roaches that come and go. I didn't look until later and they were German roaches. German roaches are the only kind I would not want to bring home, they are infestation pests unlike other roaches. The last two nights we also saw a mouse. We kept our food closed and on the counter. The mouse seems to be living in the dresser structure. Danny was notified and provided a mouse trap.
Danny and his girlfriend were very nice but were nonchalant about the things we noticed, roaches, mouse, things not drying in the bathroom.
Communication: Danny texted me the day of check in. He is very communicative and friendly.
Location: Quiet, beautiful rocky shore with tide pools behind the neighborhood, walking distance to sandy beach. We liked being away from the major tourist areas. There are many homeless camps nearby. Plan accordingly when exploring the island.
Amenities: This room potentially has a ton of amenities! But you will probably need to ask about them. We requested shampoo/conditioner. Washer/dryer is located in Danny's home. Entrance to the room is inside his garage.
The room: This room needs updated photos. My partner is very tidy and noted the grout color, bathroom smelled musty, lizard poop on the blinds. He sanitized everything prior to us using it.
Danny/his gf were made aware of all of the above during our stay.

Dani was very nice and knowledgeable about local spots. We were looking for a place away from heavy tourist areas and this was perfect. Beautiful beaches and a state park nearby.

Danny was great! Great host and easy to communicate with, can’t say enough. All though I couldn’t stay the whole reservation, I appreciated everything Danny did for my wife and I when I was his guest. Thank you again!
