Beautiful Home on Oahu

Let's start with the house and hosts. Erik met us at the house upon arrival and went through all of the details we needed. He was readily available throughout our stay and checked in at several points to make sure we were comfortable. The house was well kept, clean, and had all of the necessities to get our trip started. There were plenty of linens, blankets, towels, soaps, and other essentials that allowed us to relax before heading directly to a store. There were even some island specific beverages in the fridge and coffee for the morning! The house had plenty of space for our group of 6. The backyard sitting area is where we spent most of our time while at the house and the grill was great for easy cooking and clean up.

We scattered showers between morning and evening and waited to run the washer and dishwasher until showers were completed. Doing this, we never ran out of hot water for our showers. The house has a community pool, which we used on a few occasions. It also was well kept and pretty quiet most of the time!

The location of the house in Ewa Beach was perfect for us. It is in a newer neighborhood and I had no concerns taking my morning run solo. The beach that is close is not great for swimming, but does lend to some beautiful sunrises. There are a couple of really nice beaches about 10-15 minutes away where we went for swimming. As long as you avoid rush hour, getting to Honolulu and Waikiki was about a 30-45 minute ride. We spent a lot of our vacation touring the north shore, so the location allowed us to avoid the high traffic areas altogether.

Overall, this is a great rental and I would recommend to anyone looking to stay outside of the bigger cities on Oahu. Thanks again for the great week!

We will be back!!!

We loved the house and adored the floor plan! The owner Erik was very helpful and nice! "We loved the fact they where just right down the street if anything was needed." One of the fire alarms batteries went dead during her visit and Erik swooped right in affter work and droped off a batterie for us to fix the problem. The neighborhood was cute and quiet. (We enjoyed the christmas lights each night) Having the back yard with the three year old was great, she could play and do bubbles yet still get energy out if we stayed in that day. There was a safeway right down the street and a few good Korean restaurants Less then 5min drive away as well! (With the korean inlaws this was a plus.) there was also a Community pool that sadly we never got a chance to hang out at but it's nice that they have that. (For us this was exactly what we where looking for, for our family Reunion and to just spend time all togeather.) they even thought of everything "the little things count" shampoo and conditioner, body wash, loandery soap, dish soap, trash bags, drinks in fridge, and other little things i cant even remamber! :)

-now some cons on this location;

1. You will have to drive about 20-50min or more anywhere you want to go. For attractions, mainstream food, excursions beaches, ect....

2.no attractions in walking distance.

3. The ewa beach is kinda scratchy dont go there even though its in walking distance! (Unless your a group of guys looking to catch some waves-beware theres rocks. But we saw ppl doing it.)

4. Wifi is a bit slow. ( maybe not but if your tech. submerged and married with your nose in your phone or computer like my husbond, then yes it is.)

5. Hot water in Am is a nope! Lol take a shower or bath at night! ;) there seemed to be only enough hot water for half a shower in the morning. It didnt get real cold but not hot! Make sure everyones had one before running the dish washer or washer as well! ;)

-i cant say enough how great our time here was it was a perfect space for 6 adults and a three year old! Even 8ppl when we had my parents there for dinner before they left for the airport didnt feel like anyone was steping on toes. Nice big space. Clean and homey! Just do it you will not regret staying her and enjoying your family vacation all together!
