This was the perfect vacation home for our trip to Oahu. We love to snorkel and the location in the winter (feb) was perfect since the west side has the best snorkeling there in the winter. The rental was so quiet and comfortable. We loved the view of the beautiful mountains. Gorgeous and a fantastic stay!

It wasn’t as clean as it could have been. The plastic on the mattresses was very hot. The pillows were too thick. Maybe you could offer different choices of pillows. The location was great the amenities were great. Everything was in great working order

We were visiting family that live in Makaha, just down the road. Great location for us for that reason. The neighborhood is nice, clean, and quiet which was a bonus! Loved that there were beach items again to borrow should anyone need them, and beach towels. Would stay again!
Microwave didn’t work, just so you know 😊

Beautiful area. Felt very safe because of gated access. Traffic was terrible, but that is on entire island. Home was immaculant. Puzzeling that there wasn't accomodations for recycling.

The house was perfect for our famuly! We had shared space as well as privacy. We loved 2 bathrooms and the dressing room and closet space. We were able to cook meals as the kirchen was fully equipped. The locations was near beaches and safe and easilt we could get to activities in Honolulu. Mark and Mabel were great as managers!
