our vacation rental

Our little rental house in Honolulu is a two-family — and while we rent out one side for ourselves, we manage the other side as a vacation rental, the Hillside Hideaway. It’s an adorable, sunny two-bedroom tucked into the hills overlooking Honolulu…but getting it the way it looks today was a labor of love! We needed everything from new couches and bedding to utensils and pots and pans. To save money and make the most of what we had — the owner provided some furniture in need of a little TLC — we started honing our DIY skills and broke out the sander and paint.
