Family Vacation

It was in a perfect location; it was just outside of the downtown area but yet close enough to get to whatever we wanted to do. The house fit perfectly for a large family and made helped make our first vacation to Hawaii perfect.

Long overdue family vacation

The location was easy to find and very comfortable for our family. Grandparents, parents, adults and teens all had a great time. Parking for the rental van. Walking distance to mall - shopping, restaurants, fast food - and the beach. Comfortable beds. Everything was clean and well maintained. It would have been nice to have an outdoor clothes line to dry towels and swimsuits outside, but we made to with a drying rack. All the convenience of being at home, but in Hawaii.

Great property for families.

This was an exceptional property for our family. Main house has all the amenities for kids including a game room with large screen TV. The kitchen is well equipped and ideal for family dining. Most of our meals were on the outdoor patio adjacent to the pool. We would usually barbecue on the grill and enjoy a warm outdoor evening. Kids loved the pool and spent hours swimming and playing. In addition there is a pool house which is fully equipped with kitchen, bedroom, TV etc. Easily accommodates older kids or another family. Excellent large washer and dryer which is a necessity in Hawaii. Well located near a large shopping mall with whole foods market. Easy access to beaches, downtown Honolulu and tourist sites. Will definitely return on our next Hawaiian vacation. Jim K
