The vacation house was very well stocked and clean, it met my families needs. The owner was quick to reply to any e-mails or questions I had. The welcome basket was sweet and unexpected! What isn't mentioned is that you are about a block away from a shooting range and EVERY morning at 7 AM sharp they start shooting and that's all you can hear! That's fine when you have to get up and leave for the day but when you want to sleep in it's almost impossible! Also the neighbors dog barks incessantly when it is left along...which is almost every afternoon. The beach is OK if all you want to do is sun tan but you can't go more than 6 feet in the water because of the rocks. It's in a questionable neighborhood but we were never bothered and there are a few other renters around you.

We just returned from our much needed vacation. What a nice way to spend ten days on Oahu! It was really nice to stay in Ewa as most of my family live within 2 miles of the Beach House and they didn't have to come to "Town" to visit us! The place is very clean, well maintained and so quiet- I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the birds every morning while having a cup of coffee on the Lanai. We will be back soon, in fact we are looking at coming back in the Fall- we were just talking to Mom and Dad about coming home this fall and staying at the Beach House!! Mahalo and much Aloha for the use of your Beach House!!

We sincerely appreciate your kindness in renting your lovely house. It was wonderful. It was the perfect place for us to enjoy our daughter's and new son-in-law's wedding. Mark & Kathy loved the house and enjoyed meeting you. We will cherish the many fond memories of staying here 2 weeks of their marriage. We enjoyed the special basket of goodies. Thank you so much. Our very best wishes to you. Fondly, Bob & Tammy Angell Mark & Kathy Krollmueller (the newly weds)

This cottage was everything you advertised. It is comfortable, cozy, roomy, clean and convenient to the beach. We appreciated the use of the beach equipment and BBQ as well as the washer/dryer. Stuart, the neighbor in the back was a pleasant, welcoming person that we enjoyed talking to. Our time here was too short but we will be back.

Thank you so much for letting us this lovely cottage. I and my sister met up at the harbor. We then came from the different places (england & Osaka Japan). We could spend great time in Hawaii. My daughter does not want to go home. Nishino Family & Tamguch Family

Mahalo! The house was wonderful -- a comfortable place to come to at the end of a busy day exploring this beautiful island. All of the thoughtful little details were very much appreciated and we made good use of all the boogie boards, towels, snorkel equipment, chairs, etc. It was great to find that the computer had a slot just the right size for our digital memory card because we had forgotten our card -- something so little but it meant a lot! We had a fantastic time. We will miss waking up to the sounds of the many different birds and feeling the cool breezes of Oahu. Love, Scott, Dana and Matthew, Mitchell & Carol Kerth

Thank you for thinking of everything! Flowers, fruit, etc. upon arrival was very nice. We had wonderful weather, just a few showers. We were busy every day. Polynesian Culture Center was a great day. We saw most of your wonderful island. Very comfortable beds. We rarely needed the a/c. Your yard flowers and trees are a great sight for us. Thanks for the snorkels, masks, fins, etc. They came in handy on our visits to beaches. Your home was far more fun than the hotel room we had the first week.

Thanks for thinking of absolutely EVERYTHING! From boogie boards to blowdryer we found all the conveniences of home in this cute little beach house! I especially appreciated the high-speed internet (thanks David for being so persistent and getting the info for me). We had a great time here and we will definitely stay at your Kailua Bay Beach House next time. Thanks again!

We had a wonderful time! Three couples celebrating our anniversaries by vacationing in Hawaii. Reall appreciated the computer to look up island info and keep in contact with our families. How inviting the little huse was -- lights on, music playing and food for us after our flight. We felt right at home and such a nice quiet neighborhood. We would love to come back.

We had never stayed in a beach house and we are glad that we did. It was so much better than staying in a hotel. Thank you so much for having everything here for us. The snacks came in handy. The house is decorated in such a nice way. We felt very comfortable. The two first nights that we were here, we had a downpour, and it was great! We slept so comfortable with the sound of the rain.. Thank you for having such a great place for mainlanders to enjoy. Maybe someday we will bring our surfer boys to enjoy this beach. God bless you!

Your house is fantastic,we have just returned home after spending two weeks there. Everything we needed was provided,it was so much better than staying in a hotel,so peaceful. The welcome baskets were really lovely and it was good to have a relaxing breakfast after our long journey from England. The computer was great for the kids in the evening and for keeping in toch with home. We made good use of the beach mats,chairs and boogie boards when we visited the many beautiful beaches. Thanks again we are thinking of you as we have returned to a cold damp English winter,hopefully we will return one day. The Walsh family England

Thank you for sharing your home with us. It is beautifully maintained and furnished. The children loved the boogie boards! You seem to have thought of everything a traveler to your island could need. The fruit and food basket was great and delicious. It was good to see where the people of Hawaii live, the neighborhood, etc...the island has so much to offer we simply didn't have enough hours in the day. Off to Kauai today! Thank you again for your home and kindness. Kimberly, Jim, Brook, Carie & Carter Montpetit ("little mountain")

This house was just wonderful; a perfect Hawaiian getaway. I've lived on Oahu, and this is a great chance to experience staying in a "local" community, far from the tourism of Waikiki. The neighbors were friendly and helpful, and my daughters and I felt very safe and right at home. The little house itself is so clean and comfortable, with all the conveniences anyone could ask for. The beach was clean, private, and gorgeous. We'll definitely go back!

Thank you so much for providing this house for us these 10 days. The beds and furniture were comfortable. When we first got here we were happy to see breakfast foods and the fruit basket on the counter after a 6-hour layover in Osaka and an 8 hour flight. Thank you for the attention to detail. It was like we were in a professional hotel (5 star hotel). Things like the provided beach gear and removing the dead flowers before we got there showed us you care. Once again, thanks for your hospitality! The Williams Family

Thank you for providing us with a wonderful place to stay. We have never stayed in a rental home where everything was provided! It made our stay so comfortable. We will always remember our stay at Ewa Beach. On May 3, 2004, Chris Johnston & Jody Reid got engaged on the beach. It was an emotional, unforgettable and perfect night. This home and Ewa Beach will always hold a special place in our hearts. We thank you for providing us with a place to stay that was so wonderful. We hope to return with our children some day. With all our love & thankfulness, Chris Johnston & Jody Reid

Aloha! Thank you for the hospitality. The house is fabulous! We were here on the island for work and you were able to help us out. Thank you! We painted all the Office Maxes in Maui, Oahu and Hilo in 8 days. Without your help, it would have been much more difficult. Thanks again for your help and best of luck to you and your family.
