Great home!

Carol was very accommodating, she met us to give us the key. She lives in the property but didnt bother us at all. Overall we had a great time at the house, it had everything we were looking for in a vacation house. What was nice was that everything was about 20 minutes or less away.

Wonderful Property

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here.... Tho there ended up only being five of us ultimately, we had a few family and kids come over for a dinner and it was super comfortable... Lots of places to sit. The property has everything you need already there which made picking up stuff for the week very easy! The location was great... Nice and safe area... Close to beach... And easy to get to major roads! Thanks so much... It was great! The Mundell Family

Lovely home

During our week in Kailua we stayed in your lovely home. Thank you for being so thoughtful providing plenty of towels and supplies. The beach toys and snorkel gear came in handy and saved us from renting. The beds were very comfortable and a/c in the bedrooms were great. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We loved walking to the beach to watch the sunrise. Thank you so much for everything!!

Week stay - great beach!!

We stayed here and had grandkids visit during the day - going home at night since they live in Honolulu. Carol was very kind and didn't complain about noise - which was a bit loud outside at times. - - The beach that is beautiful is 7 minutes walk. Easy walk and we went every morning and walked the beach. Went to Kailua beach park with the kids, very short drive, has showers and restrooms - very nice also. - -

Caution … fun is limited

Very convenient to meet with the property manager because they live on site. Very limited on allowing gatherings for game night and caution on large insect visitors, and lack of parking restrictions. Location was convenient to access beaches. Overall stay was ok.

We were 2 seniors traveling with our granddaughteres

The home was spacious, kitchen had everything we needed, nice space to relax inside and out. This was in a residential area away from massive tourism giving you a better feel for the island. We would recommend.

We stayed at this property three years ago and we were pleased that it was available for us again. The location is perfect for us as it is close to friends and family that we came to visit. We like the spaciousness of the house, the living room, dining-family room and second living room area. The patio is very comfortable and very spacious.

Present for Dad

I took dad to Hawaii to celebrate his 70th Birthday. The place was perfect and exactly what was advertised. It was close to a grocery store and very close to the Marine Base. It was windy enough that we only turned on the AC once to cool off. Carol was an excellent host. We only saw her once when she showed us around. Place was very quiet and peaceful. Wonderful place. Highly recommend.

Cherish Family time

This lovely spacious home located in a quiet neighborhood was perfect for our family of five. We loved the layout with two separate living rooms. The sun lit central dining room, overlooking two lanais adjacent to the kitchen, were perfect for relaxing. A leisurely stroll to the beach was a highlight as we are water people. Carol , our host, was welcoming and attentive. We are looking forward to a return visit.

Great place for a family or medium size group

Awesome layout it traveling with kids. It was nice to have two living areas and the patio with BBQ. The location was awesome, quick drive the beach, stores, and restaurants. Really preferred staying here over Honolulu hotels. They had everything we needed for our many excursions - beach towels, sand toys, snorkel gear, ect. The kitchen was well equipped. Carol was very helpful and accommodating!

Great and quiet neighborhood!

So a bit of mixed feelings about writing this review. While there’s nothing detrimentally negative, there are areas of improvement that could/should be addressed. With that said, let’s talk about what makes this property great first. Location, this is an excellent location, it’s located about 1/2 hour north of Waikiki and away from the city and it’s traffic. While still away from the city, there are plenty of stores and restaurants within a 5-10 drive and the nearest beach is about the same amount. The property has another tenant in the back aside from the host, but the privacy is excellent and you’ll never see them unless you seek them out. Our host, Carol was very sweet and attentive. She provided us with a quick rundown of the location and made herself available if there were any concerns. So now the feedback. Although the location is awesome, the property is in need of some TLC (tender loving care). The decor is adequate for the island feel, but the pillows could be replaced. Most of them were flat to lay on and seemed soiled past the point of use (normal wear and tear). Although we’re not there to stay indoors, the internet was slow to the point of being obsolete (not a deal breaker by any means, but internet certainly helps when you have little ones to entertain with Netflix and other apps). There are maintenance items that should be addressed making this home an even better experience for everyone. It would be a small investment for a great ROI. All in all this property is in a great location with great hosts. Despite the items above, this property was nice to be in. I do recommend this place and would more than likely book this property in the future provided they address certain items. A big thank you to Carol and her family for being a gracious and attentive host!
