Lovely place with lovely owner
My husband and I stayed for 1 week and enjoyed every moment. The owner left a welcoming basket of deliciousness (local fruit and chocolate). It's a short walk through a beautiful neighborhood to the beach. The home has everything you need and it's quite comfy! It's also away from the hustle and bustle of city life, so it's very relaxing.
Thank you Linda & Bruce! I am so glad you enjoyed our "home away from home." We would love to have you stay again the next time you visit your daughter.
Much aloha,
Teresa
Wonderful time in Hawaii and it started with getting a wonderful place a block from the beach
Place was wonderful. Just as pictures showed, bed was comfortable and kitchen was everything we needed. Will stay her again if I'm lucky enough to visit the island again
I am so glad that Jim and his daughter enjoyed their stay with us! They were lovely guests.
It was a lovely place. Theresa is a sweet lady and very informative.
For me there were too many rules to follow for a relaxing vacation. Also I couldn't enjoy the absolutley beautiful lanai because the small hard plastic chairs cut into my thighs.
Over all it was nice.
I'm sorry that Beth wasn't comfortable during her visit with us. The lanai chairs can be a bit confining for some. They were chosen with Hawaii's humidity levels in mind. With all the moisture in the air, they are the easiest to keep clean. But we are looking into replacing them with some more comfortable pool chairs that will also stand up to our climate conditions.
We do have a couple of rules and a lot of suggestions for enhancing the stay of our guests, which may have seemed overwhelming for Beth. Because we live in a suburban community, we ask that a quiet period is observed from 10:00 pm to 8:00 am. And since there are no lights in the pool area, we also ask
that it be closed when it gets dark. But the rest of the suggestions are written out as a reference for questions that may arise during our guests' visit. We offer them as a helpful tool.
Much Aloha,
Teresa
Beautiful Home!
Lovely Home with beautiful grounds and pool ! Caretaker was welcoming and kind. Quiet neighborhood and great beach access !! Barely spent time there, really only to sleep . Very comfortable and clean! Would definitely recommend. Mahalo!
HinaRapa and Theresa are such lovely, open-hearted people. It was a blessing to have them stay with us!
Comfortable studio with a short walk to a very beautiful beach
Our one week stay at this studio was very comfortable and enjoyable. The studio was small but very clean, well kept, and had all the necessities for a comfortable stay for two people. We were greeted by a lovely basket of fruit, some of which I was believe was grown on the property, which was delicious. Each morning we awoke to the sounds of a dozen tropical birds and ate breakfast on the nice patio. The pool was clean and a nice luxury after a day in the ocean. The place is only one block from a swim in the ocean and about 4 blocks from the best reefs for snorkling in Lanikai. While we were there it was unusually hot and humid, but the air conditioning, though a bit loud, kept the room plenty comfortable while we were there. There was plenty of room to hang wet swim clothes and towels and a washer/drier to accommodate when needed. All in all, I would highly recommend this place to stay.
Nick and Amy were so great at finding their way around the studio and grounds, while I communicated with them pretty much by email. I had just returned from my own vacation and was fighting a bug, which I didn't wish to pass to anyone. They left the studio in such a neat and clean condition. It was great to have them as guests. The studio is a bit cozy at 850 square feet, but I am glad they enjoyed their time here even so.
Great visit!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay the place was clean very we’ll stocked with essential items and Teresa made us feel welcome as well as accommodating. Definitely recommend the studio great location and close to the beach!
I am so glad that Diana and her family enjoyed themselves. Hurricane Lane threatened to cancel their flight out, but they handled that possibility with aplomb. Fortunately the storm downgrade to a Tropical Depression their last night with us and they were able to fly out the next morning. They are a lovely young family.
