Spacious, Peaceful, and Ideal for Families - with Aloha!
We absolutely loved our stay at this VRBO and would return in a heartbeat! Despite the previous guests leaving a mess and causing a few minor issues, the owner went above and beyond to have everything ready and comfortable for us right away. Their responsiveness and care made all the difference.The home itself was one of the most peaceful places we stayed during our time in Hawaii. The upstairs had a spacious master suite and a perfect kids' room - complete with toys, books, kid-sized chairs, cozy bunk beds, and even a queen bed. The downstairs bedroom was equally great, with convenient access to the hot tub.Families with little ones will appreciate all the baby gear provided (high chair, baby bath, pack & play, activity seat, and more). The kitchen was well-equipped, and there was ample seating with a dining table and bar area. We spent hours relaxing on the upper balcony and lower deck, both offering beautiful breezes and natural light through screened sliding doors. Morning walks to the ocean with coffee in hand were a perfect start to each day.The decor was fresh and tasteful - not outdated like many other listings we considered. Honestly, we’re tempted to keep this gem a secret so it’s available when we return!
My friends and I had a wonderful experience staying here. Everything was perfect, comfortable, and completely clean. I would definitely stay here again with friends or family.
