This is our second time staying here and we will definitely be back. Great location and the house has all the ammenities you need for a comfortable stay. It's close to everything without being disturbed by the party crowds. It is exactly as advertised including the photos.
What a wonderful house for our 25th Anniversary trip with our family! Beautiful views and great location, out of the busy Honolulu scene but close to everything!
We booked this home to stay in with our extended family for our destination wedding. We had great barbecues and lots of space! Check in process was super easy and hassle free.
We had a group of seven fro kids to adults. We enjoyed the location, close to activities in Honolulu without being in the city, as well as close to Hanauma Bay and great beaches on the east side of the Island. Good restaurants close by. Very nice property with great kitchen and comfortable sleeping situation.
House was spacious and modern! The ping pong table was a nice addition and we enjoyed the snorkel equipment! Would recommend staying here!

Property was centrally located to everything. Far away enough from the busy city but also a short drive to (in case you wanted to do shopping). Property was perfect and owners had great communication. Hopefully we’ll be able to book again in the future.
This was our family’s first trip to Hawaii and this home was perfect. Great location. Close to Honolulu, close to numerous beaches and trails and very clean. We loved all the beach equipment and towels and well stocked kitchen. We have stayed at many VRBOs throughout the country and I would highly recommend this one.
We had a great time staying at this property during our time on Oahu. The house was very spacious for our group of four. The fully-equipped kitchen and beach accessories (towels, chairs, etc.) were also appreciated. The location was very convenient and communication with the host was easy. We hope to come back some day!
This property allowed me to bring my extended family together to attend my daughters wedding in Hawaii. The open concept of this house allowed us to cook together, spend time relaxing, and for children three and six have time to move around and have fun. Great space!
The house was spectacular, just as advertised. Scott was great and very helpful. Having all the amenities and gear for use was a added bonus. We had a wonderful trip and the location was perfect. Aloha and Mahalo.

Excellent location. Easy to drive or Uber into Honolulu. Great gathering space for all my family. Close to beaches and hiking. House was better equipped than any of the many rentals we have stayed in.
I would definitely stay here again! We were a group of 6 adults. Very convenient location too many of our destinations. We were driving a premium SUV using the parking was definitely doable but a tight squeeze. Just an FYI.
Umbrellas, snorkels,fins,GREAT view, beach footwear, beach chairs, 2 refrigerators, AC, free parking, everything to make cookies, 4 minutes from Costco, and hoses outside to wash the sand off everything.
We visited Oahu from Utah for 10 days. Scott's home was a nice place to come hang with our family, cook meals together and enjoy the outside patio. He was professional throughout the process and accommodated our needs.

Irv,
Glad you had a good time here with your family. Being in the East end of the island is so convenient for family and activities.
God Bless
Come back and see us soon.

Great house, close to beaches, food, hiking but far enough away from touristy Waikiki to feel like one of the locals. House was well stocked, open, clean. They had beach gear we could borrow which was wonderful. Absolutely will be back. Great communication with owner!
This home was perfect for our family of 6. The living space was comfortable and fun to hang out in. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to work in. The only drawback is the highway noise at times is a little loud, but wasn’t really an issue. The hosts communicate well.
We had a fantastic stay. The location was incredible - nice jogging location right from the house, short drive to great hikes and beaches, and short trip into Waikiki (although we liked having a place to stay away from that crowded area). Scott was very responsive throughout and the house was perfect - plenty of space for everyone to sleep and spend time together (including den area kids slept in), laundry, etc. It is on the highway and pulling in off the highway takes caution the first time, but this didn’t bother us at all - amazing view of the water from the windows.
I rented this place with my family of 6 and 2 kids. It was the perfect space. I loved the open concept and U-Shaped island. The rooms are a little small, but the rest of the living space makes it worth it. There were also lots of beach equipment you can bring with you!
Overall it was a nice experience.
