We stayed at this beautiful estate on Oahu for 10 days during Thanksgiving holiday. There were 12 of us and we all had a wonderful time. It’s luxurious and spacious, yet very relaxing and with all the amenities of home. The beds are very comfortable and the house was very neat and clean. The views from all 3 levels are spectacular with the ocean and beach right out the back door and if you don't like salt water there is a very nice pool with a lava rock waterfall. The drive along the coast to Honolulu is also very beautiful with many places to pull off for scenic pictures. Very easy access to shopping and water sports. It’s outside the hectic tourist area Waikiki but located conveniently to all we wanted to see and do.
We enjoyed the dolphin shows and Chief’s Luau (the best!) at Sea Life Park just a mile or so from the estate, went golfing, boogie-boarding, beach walking and swimming, hiking, a very fun Star Of Honolulu evening dinner cruise, incredible helicopter tour, shopped the strip at Waikiki, Pearl Harbor Tour, and the snorkeling is great right in front of the Estate. For Thanksgiving, we prepared food in the kitchen and on the BBQ and set up a buffet on the outdoor bar and large covered patio by the pool. There are lots of good restaurants in Kailua and Hawaii Kai both just about 10 minutes away. (Assagio’s Italian was awesome ?).
We enjoyed that there’s a beach park right next to the estate where local Hawaiian’s like to bring their kids for swimming and picnics and some of the local men like to play Ukulele together. It was nice to have the privacy that the private yard and pool area provided at the estate, yet right next to the estate the kids could experience some of the local children and culture at the beach park. David & Patricia are super nice and their helpers Mary, Jodie and Ashley went overboard to make sure we understood where everything was, how everything worked and that we had everything we needed. This place is a must for anyone wanting a great getaway but so perfectly located to see and do everything. We will definitely stay here again!!
