Wonderful Vacation Home

There were 8 of us and the accomodations fit us perfectly. The location was great. Just minutes from Waikiki, east side activities close by, and it was easy to get to the windward side over the Pali Highway. We certainly enjoyed the pool and the pool house is so nice. There are a lot of steps since this house is on the hillside. So good knees are in order! We loved sitting on the lanai with its beautiful view of Diamond Head and the ocean. You may want to bring a hairdryer since we could not find one in the house. There were beach chairs, beach toys, noodles, and mats. A good time was had by all!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Glad our property provided a good vacation setting for your group. And thanks for alerting us about the absence of a hairdryer. We'll provide more of them.

We are a group of seven adults from Boston who just finished a one-week stay at the property. The home is very spacious, with plenty of locations (lanai, dining room, pool area) to sit together for dinner or drinks, but also has plenty of room to find space for a nap or some quiet time. The view is spectacular! The property is just far enough from Honolulu that you do not feel you are in the city and can enjoy the sounds of birds and island breezes, while Waikiki and excellent beaches like Hanuma Bay and Lanikai are less than a 1/2 hour away. The kitchen is well-appointed and perfect for cooking for a larger group. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The pool house is also very spacious and allows for a great area to enjoy in the evening without disturbing the neighbors. The owner is very responsive to questions and flexible with check-in and check-out times. We highly recommend this property for a group or family trip.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: So glad you and your party enjoyed your stay. Jan and Charlie

It is extremely easy to write a rave review about the accommodations afforded by this vacation home. The views are spectacular of the ocean as well as the lush vegetation of the golf course and surrounding areas. Diamond Head is a view by itself, and a recommended activity is to climb to the top for a more amazing view. There were five in our party, and the rooms with the lanais were very quiet and restful. Downtown Honolulu, golf course, beaches, and sightseeing are readily available. We would love to own this home and stay year-round.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

"An ideal vacation house for the ideal vacation. The location of Gecko Ridge can't be beat. It is close enough to a major highway so that getting around the island or into downtown Honolulu is a breeze. The accommodation was everything promised. Just gorgeous, from the well-stocked kitchen, you can easily make the most gourmet of foods, to the luxurious bedrooms. And the views from the lanai are some of the best on Oahu. With that view I could sit and relax for hours, then pop into the pool. What could be better?Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

I've stayed here twice and loved both times. It is a beautiful home and perfectly located. You are close enough to get to Waikiki nightlife in minutes, but just far away enough to enjoy the peace of the beautiful setting. I've slept in the pool house and the main house and both are terrific. The pool house is quite large and slept our four person family easily. The photos show you the lovely decorating and great view. I wish I was having breakfast looking onto the ocean right now! I love to walk and find that the area around Diamond Head offers everything from an easy stroll to a challenging ocean side walk to, of course, the climb up the volcano itself! My husband is a surfer and was thrilled that the house was so close not only to the ocean but also major roadways so we could easily explore this amazing island. The owners are very helpful and I would recommend the property to all my friends - I already have! We'll be back soon!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Why the Owner Chose Honolulu:
The first time I came to Honolulu I couldn't take my eyes off those houses on the ridges overlooking the Freeway. Dazzled by the views of the ocean and of Diamond Head from every direction, I couldn't help thinking, 'What must the view be like from up there?' Three years later the contractor who implemented my son's renovation plan for this house exclaimed about its 'billion-dollar view.' Today, cooled by the refreshing tradewinds, my husband and I study, cook, hike, swim and entertain, enjoying that view from every room, from the lanais and from the pool. Our guests who come to 'do Hawaii' often find that this designer-renovated house is itself a destination.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Relax in spacious, comfortable surroundings open to a breathtaking view of sea, sky and Hawaii's iconic Diamond Head. Enjoy the green below you as you view the lushly landscaped Waialae Country Club golf course lined with strands of coconut palm, monkey pod and kiawe trees. Watch the tropicbirds and egrets soaring by. And, of course, the ships crossing Maunalua Bay. Truly refreshing!
