This was our fist trip to Hawaii, and this was our gem!

This was our 5th experience renting on VRBO, from Florida to Cape Cod to now Hawaii.. All were pleasant. This house however was probably our best and most enjoyable one, especially due to the fact that our hosts, Claude and Suzanne, lived in the house next door and were there everyday to ensure our stay was perfect. To both of you, we wish to hereby say how we appreciated our stay and how wonderful hosts you are. Our family of four arrived from Canada for our first trip in Hawaii and Oahu not exactly knowing what to expect. My god was this a pleasant surprise. The house is walking distance 5-8 minutes away from Kailua beach which is really, REALLY one of the nicest beach we have ever seen in the US ( Conde Nast also voted it one of the best beach in the US), although windy. As days went by, we could appreciate the quality of our positioning on the island. 20 minutes away by car from all the excitements and excellent restaurants of Waikiki, yet perfectly well served by all the commercial ecosystem in Kailua where you find everything from excellent restaurants to an organic supermarket! It is a super quiet and safe environment, rather high end residential neighborhood. With time, we quickly realized how of a perfect nest it became for our vacations. From the quiet environment needed for the daily naps of our young kids to the magnificient pool that was always there to please us, to the very quick wifi always available, free, very quick and stable! (this is not a given everywhere!) A pool may seem obvious when you come from far away, but as we found in Hawaii, it is not so common in a rental. All in all, this was a perfect location, very nicely decorated and renovated, very clean little house. We gave 5 stars and they are all deserved. Claude & Suzanne, thank you again for your excellent company and hospitality. Mahalo!!!

We were just looking at our pictures from our summer vacation on this cold snowy Colorado day. We were reminded of the the Blue Ginger Cottage and that it was beyond our expectations. The cottage was classy yet quaint. This tropical and safe neighborhood location was perfect and the home like atmosphere was comforting and relaxing. The beach and everything you need is close by.Staying here was like staying with your favorite Aunt and Uncle. Susan and Claude's hospitality was like none we have ever encountered. We will definitely be coming back here!

We came and stayed here back in 2006 and must say it is one of the most welcoming and comfortable places we have ever visited. The accomodation is fantastically comfortable, with more than enough space both inside and to the rear of the property. The furniture is modern and very tasteful. We will always remember our stay with fond memories as the owners, who were very friendly and generous, even let uss use the Lanai for our sons wedding reception. It was a wonderful experiecne and we would highly reccomend blue ginger to anyone considering a holiday in Kailua; 10/10 for location, comfort and style.

We had such a wonderful time at your cottage! The property is so beautiful and the pool was perfect. The cottage has everything we could have possibly needed from kitchen stuff to beach toys. We appreciated the proximity to the beach (10 houses) as it is hard to judge on a map how close it really is. And what a beach it is! Claude and Susan, you were wonderful hosts and look forward to future visits! Thank you!
