Our family of 8 with 2 young children stayed here in November of 2010 and thouroughly enjoyed ourselves. The beach access was close, good pool and beach toys available and enough space in the house that you did not feel crowded, however the majority of our time was spent on the lanai and pool area. Perfect location for walking to town and to the local deli. Management was very helpful and the property was in excellent condition. I highly recommend this rental.

We arrived here from a grey, cold summer at home in the UK to a wonderful, beautiful sunny month in Hawaii!!! It felt like a dream, and we don't want to go home. Thank you for the wonderful house and all the extras. We have really felt at home. Just hope we can come again next year! Many Thanks from K and D and gang.

I deemed this loft area the best place to wake up ever. We just returned 3 days ago and i'm depressed. I wish i was there! Beautiful house, private loft area, nice pool, beach items were supplied, clean... lovely, stereo system on lanaii, highly recommended. Jay, the pool guy was super helpful in planning a "native day" and the property mgr was johnny on the spot! I will return to this Paradise when i return. SOON! The town of Kailua was quiet with great places to cocktail, dine and shop quaint boutiques. AND it's close enough for everything. Great for a honeymoon, family vacation, girls get-away... whatever.

When we entered the home we were blown away....But when my husband and I entered our secret sanctuary,I thanked God! Our private apartment was just what the STAR ordered a lovely place-in fact I deamed my apt. the best place to wake up ever! The curtains flow in slow motion, the Palm leaves blowing are so soothing and the views from the bed are a continued dream. No detail was missing. and we made friends with the pool man who gave us a native day out. 2 things you must do while you are here: 1. go North and stop at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck and order the Spicy Shrimp. 2. jump off the cliff at Waimea Bay...after your shrimp lunch of course. If we ever return we'll stay at the STAR no doubt. Paradise did not disappoint. The T Family of 9.

September 2006 - We absolutely loved the Star of Hawaii! We were two families with 5 children ranging from 3-6. This home offered plenty of room for us. It was comfortable, clean, and had all the necessities, including plenty of towels, boogie boards and sand toys. We truly appreciated the cold water, fruit and muffins when we first arrived at the house. Beth, the caretaker, was always available if we needed anything. It was also nice to have private access to this beautiful beach! Absolutely loved it! At the house, we spent a lot of time on the deck around the pool area. Loved watching the kids enjoy the pool and my two sons look for and find lizards/geckos. They ask all the time when we can go back. Our entire vacation was filled with wonderful memories. We look forward to returning to the Star of Hawaii. Gay Sapp, thank you so much! You responded to my e-mails, questions, and made the process very easy. Sincerely, Robinson and Pena Family

Taken from House Guestbook: Thank you for sharing your home with us. All the amenities made our vacation more enjoyable. I especially liked the artwork throughout the house. My granddaughter loved feeding the fish. The music piped through the house completed the experience. The beaches were wonderful and my wife looked like a little girl again jumping the waves. Thank you for leaving the jelly-fish spray (my daughter got stung) it came in handy! Once again thank you for everything.

Taken from House Guestbook: Thank you for providing our family with the true Hawaiian experience. We stayed in a lovely hotel for the first leg of our trip and received the "canned" version. Here, we experienced the REAL THING! The kids enjoyed the pool, chasing geckos, feeding the fish, and finding beautiful flowers to put in their grandmothers' hair. The home and the beach are both beautiful. We've stayed in other beach homes and this one will be tough to beat! To all who follow, make sure you wake up early to catch the amazing sunrise on the beach, drive to the North Shore and eat at Haliewa Joe's, and see the night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center!

Taken from House Guestbook: The "Gilligan's Island" group as we called ourselves was very excited about our trip to Oahu. We thought the house was beautiful both inside and out. The plants in the yard and the pool created a nice relaxing feeling in the backyard. The easy breezy feel of the inside of the house made the Hawaiian experience much more tangible. The boogie boards, kayaks, and beach toys made the bruises, near drownings, and sun burns well worth it! Aloha and Mahalo.

Taken from House Guestbook: What a great place you have! We loved everything and really appreciated all the little touches around the house. Great decor, food in the fridge, etc. My kids had a great time looking for lizards and playing endlessly in the pool and surf. This was a great place to gather...thanks for everything.
