Wonderful visit

The house is beautiful, the grounds impeccably landscaped and cared for, and the beach is quiet and lovely. It was a peaceful week with early morning swims in the ocean and exploring the many beautiful beaches and hikes on this side of the Island. We had a monk seal hanging out for a full day on the beach and saw tons of dolphins from the porch. The house has everything one could need in terms of cooking supplies, towels, etc. We hope to come again to visit our daughter, who is teaching at the local high school, and we will definitely stay here to avoid the traffic and massive crowds in Honolulu. Absolutely recommend this place if you are up for a quieter Hawaii visit.

Beautiful home!

This home is a pleasant get away from the hustle and bustle of the more populated areas of O’ahu. The views are amazing and the property is better than advertised. We were more than satisfied with the house and beach. The owner made himself available whenever we needed something, but did not intrude on our family time. I’d also like to respond to a recent guest that left a poor review citing some questionable areas and homeless people in the parks surrounding this home. We found that this was the case almost everywhere on the island, not just in Wai’anae. We frequently saw run down homes and people living in tents, but one block away there would be beautiful homes and fabulous beaches. Even in the ritzy parts of the island, homelessness is apparent. Visitors merely need to accept this as part of the environment. We never felt unsafe while staying at this home and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Great Stay

Had a great time, the tide pool on right side of house is great for kid fun. The beach around the corner is awesome. This is quiet place and about 1 hour from everything. Keep in mind this isn't Waikiki and driving to the "compound" you will see people leaving on the a few of the beaches and you will see a few abandoned cars, that is just part of HI. We stayed with 3 kids and never had any issues. Tony actually showed up to do a motorcycle trip on the big island and he was super nice. I would stay again and recommend to friends.

Bad location, Picture dishonest, I recommend North Shore.

First of all this area of Oahu is very run down. Lots of homeless camps and sketchy. Not really any shopping or dining. There are a couple very pretty beaches but even they can be sketch. This house was so dark inside We couldn’t see to read our books, that’s with the lights on. The counters and appliances were greasy. Closets and cupboards a mess. There are RAT (not mouse) traps under the beds and couches and balancing on walls and on closet shelves. The picture and description of house show the sand meeting the yard. Like you’ll be able to watch the waves or your kids on beach. You can not. There is a very tall row of bushes between house and beach. Yes you can walk thru a little path and get out there but if u think you’ll sit on the lanai and watch the beach, you won’t. The owner was arrogant. My rental car couldn’t drive down the driveway. He said that’s very clear in the listing. That you must have a very high clearance vehicle. Well the first I saw of that was on his welcome email with check in details that came an hour before check in. So I spent my first whole day in Hawaii driving Back to Honolulu to switch and upgrade my car, which still barely cleared it. This was after having to park the car outside the fenced yard in a “bad” area overnight that he wouldn’t recommend. The oven smelled horrible of gas and on broil shot literal flames when u opened door. When I texted him about it he said ya their waiting on a part just use the grill. The grill downstairs away from everything was discussing with a crusted fish skin across the whole upper shelf. We loaded all the dishes in the dishwasher when we got there because they were filthy. Turns out it runs a full cycle but must be with cold dirty water cuz they were all still dirty. We had to hand wash everything. I’d definitely recommend the North shore.

Amazing Vacation

We had such a great time at this house. The pictures really don't do it justice! It was perfect for our vacation. The access to the beach was great and with the snorkeling pools right outside your door was a big plus. Most days we had the beach to ourselves. It was nice to have the grill for cooking out. We found a GREAT Puerto Rico restaurant not far from the house that the food was great and the service was amazing. We fell in love with the neighbors "Ed and Eddie" they were so nice to us and we enjoyed being greeted by "Ed" in the morning. The only draw back was that the house got a little warm during the day when the breeze stopped, but we just stayed out on the porch for the most part. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing trip with in a amazing view and home! We would stay here again without hesitation! Thank you Tom for sharing your beautiful home!

Location is superb!

House was nice and met our family needs. Creative A- frame construction w rooms having no ceilings. It is part of compound w owner and another renter on property. Nothing beats falling asleep and waking up to crashing waves....and w easy access to beach and tide pools and lawn for family play all added to our enjoyment.

Stunning Waterfront House

This is a lovely property! The location is quiet and right on the beach. The beach is a combination of sand reef, swimming hole and surf beach. Amenities of the property were comfortable and as expected. The large front porch is an amazing location to watch surfers and whales. We will definitely return.

Incredible...Amazing...Time of our lives

Pictures don't do this place justice. Simply beautiful. We got married here in 2012. The setting is like something you find on a postcard. The property is well taken care of and the location can't be beat. The owner, Tony, is a good dude. Maybe a little over bearing at times, but all in all a good guy. We did get a slight hassle from a state inspector, but it sounds like that situation has been resolved. If you are looking for a quiet vacation off of the beaten path, look no further. We can't wait to get back! Whales, dolphins, turtles, seals and amazing tropical fish....see it all here. Surfing just steps from your door...a large lawn...and an incredible property await you.

Peaceful Hawaiian Family Getaway

Many times a property does not live up to the pictures that are posted on-line or in a brochure, but the Bamboo Compund was truly as gorgeous as it looked on-line. The property exceeded our expectations! Rose and Tony are the most gracious and generous of hosts - Tony took time to show our son all the wonderful things he could do from swimming in the tidal pool to body boarding at the beach. One could not ask for better hosts. The sandy beach is a perfect place to feel the sand between your toes, have a picnic or enjoy a bonfire on a cool Hawaiian night. The Bamboo Compound is such a peaceful, clean and comfortable place to get away from the world. I think it is a better reflection of Hawaii and the Hawaiian life-style than Honolulu as it gives one a chance to relfect in quiet while sitting on the lanai watching the sun rise or set. As we were there in early March, we were thrilled to see a few whales pass by. Each morning as we had our coffee outside, we watched the surfers at Makaha Beach ride the waves or use their paddle boards. The entire property was even better than described, the owners are exceptional people and provided for all our needs. If you dream of a vacation where you can fall asleep each night to the sound of the pounding surf, wake up to beautiful sunrises, relax on a lanai watching whales and surfers in a place that is absolutely stunning, then the Bamboo Compound is where you want to be! Not only do I recommend this house to everyone traveling to Hawaii, we definitely plan to return some day. Just walking through the gate is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and melt away all your stress.... Thank-you, Rose and Tony for providing our family such a wonderful experience. We look forward to seeing you again.
