Seabreeze Executive Home with Free: Wi-fi/internet/Parking next to driveway

We had a wonderful time during our stay here! The hosts were respectful of our privacy and provided a very well maintained home. The location in Hawai'i Kai was very convenient to Honolulu and Waikiki as well as to the windward areas of Kailua, Kaneohe, and activities such as the Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail.

We didn't know much about the geography of the eastern side of the island until our arrival and I was worried that the area would be too residential and isolated from beaches for my children. But, it was a really lovely area and the drives to the beaches of Waikiki, Waimanalo, and Kailua were easy and beautiful. We even drove up to Haleiwa on the North Shore twice and it was very easy. The pool on the property also made it easy to enjoy when we didn't go to a beach.

The owners maintained the property beautifully, with both regular pool and landscape services. We stayed for longer than usual, a full month, with our children aged 10 &13, and the hosts arranged to have a cleaning in the middle of our stay, which was very considerate. The hosts were also very kind in looking for a lost item of my daughter's after we had left. Their personal concern and attention was greatly appreciated.

Other travelers might want to know a few things before booking:

1. The house is atop is VERY steep hill. (Imagine a roller coaster, that's how steep it is.) If you have any mobility issues it would be very challenging to walk around the neighborhood. While we didn't have any problem navigating it, it's worth knowing about in advance.

2. The kitchen does not have a dishwasher. This may not be an issue for most visitors, and it may also be common on the island, I don't know. But we were there for a month with our children and therefore did a lot of eating at home. Having to spend time every day elbow deep in dishes to wash was less than ideal for a vacationing family.

3. The washer and dryer in the garage cost $2.50 per load. Again, while this might not be an issue for a short stay, over the course of a month, with 4 people it came out to be a fair amount of money spent on laundry. After spending so much on the stay itself it felt a little excessive to have to pay for using the provided laundry machines.

Again, these things may not be issues for most travelers but I thought they were worth mentioning in case they were relevant to others before booking. Overall, we would definitely stay at this property again, as it was a lovely lovely stay!

We had a great week in Oahu. The house is in a very quite neighborhood but you are also close to many sights. Very roomy, very clean completely as described in the pictures. Pool was refreshing. Would recommend to anyone.

The property is beautiful. It’s at the end of a street, and very quiet. We enjoyed the yummy treats!

Seabreeze was the perfect getaway for our first family trip to Hawaii. It’s located at the very quiet end of a street and surrounded by lush green mountains.

From the beginning, Hernando and Paulette were wonderful hosts. The evening we arrived Oahu was experiencing heavy rains and flash flooding, and before our plane landed we had already heard from them via phone message and email, asking us to be very careful on the drive over with our rental car. When we arrived late at night, Hernando was out waiting for us with a flashlight and umbrella to guide us in and help with the luggage.

A couple of weeks before our trip, we reached out to ask if some changes could be made to the regular cleaning routine before we arrived to accommodate for some environmental allergies. Our hosts were very understanding and ensured that was taken care of. They were also more than willing to offer suggestions for restaurants and family activities for our stay. And they were right on all accounts! During the trip I was sick for a few days and Hernando checked in a few times and provided advice on local healthcare options if needed. So kind!

The downstairs area we occupied was very clean from the beginning and very quiet throughout our stay. Also, it was very nice to have control over the amount of light in the place, especially for the first few days as our jet-lagged bodies were catching up.

The residence had everything we needed during our stay, especially the blender, which was used for smoothies at least twice a day (hope we didn’t disturb you folks!). We needed to do a few loads of laundry while there and the cycles were fast and the machines were easy to use.

The pool was VERY full after the rainfall but the water was still crystal clear. The property description indicates the pool isn’t heated, but the Oahu sun kept it more than warm enough for us. Also, our 11yo was amused by the automated pool vacuum occasionally “sneak attacking” us as we sat on the pool deck. We were often accompanied by a red dragonfly hovering over the pool or the occasional brown anole and its cousins basking in the sun as we relaxed or played.

Having rented a car, it was very easy for us to get to Costco, Safeway, or Walgreens, (and the Leonard’s Bakery Malasada Truck) in about five minutes, and then return to our quiet getaway.

Thank you Hernando and Paulette for being such wonderful hosts. We highly recommend Seabreeze for a stay on Oahu!
