We’re two local families new to taking over this business—born and raised here or with Hawaiian roots, including Kanaka Maoli—who each run small businesses and recently took on this company to share a more authentic way to explore the island. Our goal is to help visitors experience Hawaiʻi the way we do: with a sense of adventure, respect, and aloha.Because we balance this with full-time work and four little keiki between us, we truly appreciate flexibility and understanding. We’ll always do our best to accommodate your needs and communicate clearly, and we’re grateful to host guests who value kindness, patience, and mutual respect.Mahalo for choosing to support a local, family-run business—we’re happy to have you here.This fine thoroughbred represents best in custom cruising of the conversion vans so popular in the 80s and 90s. This 2002 van is so nice and absolutely custom built from a conversion factory. She sleeps 4, and young kids Love the pop-up loft bed!! It’s small enough to drive very easily and park in any parking spot. Keep in mind, this experience is a step up from traditional camping, not the luxury of a hotel. What's includedVans come with clean linens, beach towels, dishes, cook tops, beach chairs and a refrigerator. You just need food and drinks! As part of our off-grid living setup, power is thoughtfully managed. The refrigerator does not run 24 hours a day—when you turn in for the night, the fridge does too. We provide a cooler so you’ll have easy access to drinks and snacks you may want overnight.Other things to noteDue to the quality of the exterior and the interior, this is not one designed for Offroad use or rugged use. Thank you

Review summary
Always helpful and communicative
Carl and Eileen provide quick responses, detailed walkthroughs, airport pickups, useful island tips, and extras like beach gear. They accommodate late arrivals and schedule changes.
Easy to drive and fuel-efficient
The van is easy to drive, reliable, and offers good fuel economy for island travel. It's well-equipped with amenities like comfy beds, a cold fridge, utensils, chairs, and beach gear.

5The communication was great even before the trip started. Carl and Eileen had the van setup well and made the trip very convenient. Their pickup and drop off situation were effortless which made planning during the trip easy.

5I originally booked with another host who had to cancel last minute with me because of mechanical problems. I messaged Eileen and she very quickly responded with the good news that they had an rv for me available for the exact days I needed. I had already made my flight reservation so it put me in a situation where I wouldn't have any accommodations when I arrived in Oahu. The communication with Eileen went really well and we made arrangements for Carl would meet me at the airport, eventhough it was a very late arrival. He was very patient with explaining how everything worked and even led me to a safe place where I could park for the night and get supplies and be on my way around the island in the morning. The van was easy to drive with no problems and very comfortable sleeping at night. I really enjoyed my travels along the ocean seeing most of Oahu. Carl even managed to take me back through the mountain to the Honolulu area where I was staying in a hostel. They were both very easy to communicate with to make it a very relaxing trip for me. You won't go wrong by renting from them as they make it easy and no stress involved. John

4Nous avons passé un super moment tout autour de l'île grâce au van. Carl a été super avant et pendant tout le voyage, répondant toujours très vite, toujours avec de bons conseils ou des solutions pratiques pour tout rendre simple. Le van en lui même est un peu fatigué, le confort a 4 avec 2 ados était un peu spartiate, mais ça a fait partie du charme de l'expérience.
