This home has it all. Beautiful landscaping; right on the beach; watch sunrises over Diamond Head and sunsets over the west shore every day. You can swin, snorkel, fish, boogie board, walk the beach, sunbathe, etc. Fanastic view of Pearl Harbor, Waikiki, and Diamond head. Absolutely unbelievalbe sunrises every morning!!!Previous vacation tenants leave "toys" (snorkeling stuff; fishing poles; beach chairs; etc.). The fun is adding to the collection for the next visitors. Far enough away from the hub bub of Waikiki and Honolulu to relax and unwind. Close enough to get wherever you want. We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 days here and would definitely come back. We had 5 adults in our party (including an 80 year old) and would not hesitate to bring children. It is very family friendly. All ammenities (from kitchen, to bath, to bedroom to living areas) is included. You cannot go wrong in renting this property!!!! It is absolutely perfect!!! Owner is wonderful!! Everything was as described; we will definitely recommend this to friends. Only drawback we can think of is the traffic in the mornings and afternoons and lack of good restaurants in the area. But who cares? Its Hawaii...just "Mahalo out". The house is great!! Thank you to the owner again for providing such a wonderful property and vacation for us!!

Thank you for letting us stay at your warm comfortable home. Favorite thing about Oahu, Makaha Beach! Awesome waves, beautiful sand, no rocks!! Diamond Head is a must. But get up early and watch the sunrise. If you want to do Hanamua Bay-wake up early and be there by 6-7am, missed it unfortunately because it is first come first serve. Kailua beach walk great shopping and Hwy 3 great scenic drive. Loved Germaines Luau-close by- cheap use your AAA or AMA card if you have one-saved $20 bucks. Dukes is great food but come hungry! and make reservations in advance. Ewa Mart great place to get missed items, but go to Costo to load up - cheap alcohol/wine/ beer and if you need cash- use the bank machine there- No Service Charges!! Ice machine *** Awesome ... was a beauty eh! Must make Bulldogs - its Canadian - recipe follows - Mahalo Canadian Bulldogs Take advantage of the blender and make the strongest lime margarita you know how. Costco has a good mix if needed. Make sure it is good and icy. Pour into a large bowl and flip 2 corona's upside down inside. Add 2-3-4-5-6 straws!! P.S. to to Leonards Bakery - so good hope you have GSP 933 kapahulu Ave Costco 4589 Kapolei Parkway Germaines Luau 91-119 Lai Street Kapolei 808-949-6626 Mele Kailikamaka the McFarlanes

Everything they say about Hawaii is true; it is gorgeous and the people really are beautiful and friendly and the scenery and countryside really is amazingly lush and awe inspiring.... and you can see it all from this beautiful home in Ewa beach. My husband and I stayed in Paradize III and it is as comfortable and gorgeous as the photos depict it to be. This rental property was well maintained and stocked with essentials. You need a car to get to the typical tourist destinations from here and thats perfectly o.k. because you can drive around Hawaii in a day, easily, and thats what we did one day. The owners of this property, Marci and Lauri were gracious and accommodating and we didn't want to bother them but we knew that if we needed to call for any reason, they were just a short phone call away. Marci was especially patient with all our phone conversations and questions prior to our departure. This property was truly like a piece of heaven on earth because of its location right on the beach, privacy, property cleanliness, turquoise water, ocean breeze, close proximity to the city and luxurious accommodations. I would highly recommend staying at Paradise III, you will not be disappointed.

We live in Sapporo, Japan. We stayed 10 nights in this vacation home. This house is very large and very beautiful. Pleasant sound of the waves just off the sea, was a happy time to take some time each day to breakfast on the terrace with sea view. Two sons (1 year and 3 years) also seems really liked this house. Admire the stars at night while listening to the sound of the waves in the garden, cool off and looking at the lights of downtown and Waikiki were very comfortable. It is very convenient around here. There are Foodland and Longs Drags 10minites drive. Marci and Lorin are very friendly. We are very grateful to them. It is near more than we thought from Ewa beach to Waikiki and near Ala Moana. Of?course there was little traffic, you could go about 40 minutes. We have visited Hawaii several times, I think it was the most comfortable we have ever stayed in this house. We hope that next time we visit Hawaii, we will definitely stay this house again. Thank you.

Our bedroom was less than 50 ft. from the water. We could see the ocean and hear the waves. Pretty cool. The home is reasonably priced and spacious. Tall fence and locking gates for security. This home is a great value and we loved being so close to the ocean.

Fabuloso and tranquilo! Mahalo, Marci and Lorin for opening your home to us. Our stay was as we'd hoped it would be, fun and relaxing. We had a lovely time driving around the island and taking in the beauty and sounds. There is nothing more therapeutic than falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing - ahhh! We visited USS MIssouri, USS Bowfin submarine, North Shore beaches, Germaine's Luau, Makapuu beach, Sandy beach, Waikiki beach, the Blowhole, KoOlina lagoon #4 and a few other beaches, sorry I cannot recall names. All were enjoyed! We also met some good people at Calvary Chapel West Oahu Sunday, Service was great! Thanks again Marci and Lorin, you rock! Lorin, Giovannis shrimp truck was fantastic!- east side Aloha and blessings The Castillos from da heights ( Hacienda , CA) P.S. muchos gracias for the welcome gift.

We enjoyed our Oahu stay, wonderful beaches, Polynesian Cultural Center show was outstanding. All the sights of Honolulu Ionala(sp?) Palace, Pearl Harbor, Waikiki nd Diamond Head. We really enjoyed cooking here and eating on the screened porch and watching the ocean. North Shore Beach was fun and visitng the Dole Plantation was a surprise and beautiful, even though the fieldss were empty, ready for Aug planting. Dole made sure there were plenty of pineapples planted so visitors came away with a clear picture of their work. Hawaii was definitely a wonderful vacation Aloha Marci. Thank you for the restful, oasis from our fun-filled days.

Whata gem of a find! Marci, thank you for allowing the wonderful experience of enjoying your beaurtiful home. You have a pearl oyster amounst a rugged coral! We thouroughly enjoyed coming "home" to a peaceful and safe place after spending long fun fulled days of adventure in and aound this beautiful island of Oahu. No need to comment on all the gorgeous scenic spots - but the North Shore is a " Must Visit" - sure takes you back to the island of maui! Cholo's on the north shore market next to Petagonia and Romy's shrmp shack along the hwy. Both offer sumptious feasts, good bang for your buck! Make sure to wear good runners climbing shores on Diamond Head. Beware of the rip tide in Wailea beach. Aloha stadium, swap meet and flea market, good place to buy souv's. But you might wear out you plastic when you shop around Waikiki. And after a long exhausting day puttering around the island, it's good to know that we're comming back to a restful place where the kids both big and small can unwind, playing catch football in the perfectly manicured backyard lawn, while watching the sun go to bed as the waves sing it a lullaby! As the say" There is no place like home" but sharing your made us feel at home ! With the Lord's blessing, we will come and visit another day. Mahalo Marci and aloha for now! John and family
