Almost the perfect getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Decent vacation rental but..Pros & ConsPros:-Close to the beach (76m walk)-Big yard in the front and a smaller on on the side(cottage)-Host was welcoming and helpful-28 min to waikiki-Enough space for 8-10 people if needed-Sun from 8am(cottage)/10am (poolside) to 4pm-The yard provides shadow throughout the day-Amenities were goodCons:-Lots of flies and mosquitoes at times-Flooring needs a full makeover-Cleaning needs to be improved and was not worth the 400$ at all(behind and in between couch was packed with dirt)-Neighborhood is loud and noisy most of the time-Host should keep a 2 day hold between visitors to provide a late checkout (which host states themselves)Traveling from Norway to Hawaii (30+ hours)We would definitely see ourselves staying here again, IF..Owners has decided to put a minimum of 90 days which makes no sense for most families travling overseas, if the owners would change and be more flexible with dates, we would consider staying for our next trip, next year.
Stayed 42 nights in May 2022
Response from VrboOwner on Aug 1, 2022
Thank you for your thorough review. Sorry about the flies/mosquitos in particular as we have the landscaping sprayed regularly and have not heard this issue from past guests. Will discuss with our vendor. Just to be clear, the 90 day minimum is new legislation passed by the Honolulu City Council and Mayor's office - it is not the homeowner, nor our decision. The law is being challenged and it is our hope that a compromise will be reached so that reservations like your (30+ days) may continue. Will keep you posted. Thank you for visiting all the way from Norway.

A secluded paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is an impeccably maintained oasis away from the hustle-bustle of Honolulu. Once inside the grounds you are enveloped in a well-manicured and private, secluded setting to enjoy a Hawaiian paradise. Just hundred yards away is famous Lanikai Beach. We enjoyed several barbeques poolside and visited the lovely town of Kailua. The house is also a perfect starting point to explore the rest of Oahu. The house is completely updated and the Property Management is professional, courteous, and extra friendly. Highly recommended without any reservations.
