The King of Island Visits

Hale Oahu has everything that our 2 families needed to enjoy being in paradise, and it felt like we were living in an Elvis movie. We stayed 5 nights, waking up to beautiful sunrises, relaxing beach walks, Lion coffee on the upper lanai, lush tropical greenery, and phenomenal weather. There will never be another one like it.

Dream Home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dream home! We stayed here for a family vacation with 7 adults and 1 child (16 month old). The house was everything as pictured and described and more. It couldn't have been in a better location and the large yard was private from the beach, which was perfect for letting little ones run around, but only a few steps from sand! The house was very clean and had so many amenities for both adults and children! There was a small market and a few shops/restaurants walking distance via street or beach! The manager was so nice and was easily accessible to text when needed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone to stay and would love to stay again myself.

Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family had an amazing stay here. Everything about this property was listed correctly and looked as pictured! The home was beautiful, clean and very spacious even for our large group of 16. The neighborhood was very quiet, safe and peaceful. We were just steps away from the beach and with access from the backyard we were able to enjoy the beautiful sunrise daily. The property provided an abundance of beach towels and supplies. The entire house was fully stocked from bathroom supplies, extra bedding and air mattress to laundry supplies etc. Our host Alia was super courteous and accommodating. She was very friendly and responsive. They even provided us with a beautiful welcome basket of Hawaiian goodies. Everything about our stay was great! The beddings were so comfortable and pretty close to hotel bedding which is big for me! The only thing that I would probably recommend is for the property to remove the pots and pan that are not for induction stoves because they are useless. Also, since it is a large home and most of the time it would be booked for larger groups gathering we would’ve love to have some larger stock pots available as we did cook often. These are minor stuff and didn’t effect our trip at all.Our entire stay again was absolutely amazing!

Kailua Beach Front Rental Review(week stay)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the Hale Oahu Estate Kailua Beach Front House for our family vacation for a week. Not only was the location very amazing (beach front) the rooms were spacious with many amenities available for our use. Being located on the northern east side of the island away from downtown and Waikiki, it is still a quick drive to the city. There is a Whole Foods, Target, Tokyo Centeral (old Don Quijote), Safeway and more 5 min from the house so there is nothing really to worry about. The people in contact for the rental house were very helpful, being a phone or text away at anytime to help with any problems.Thank you very much for the wonderful place.

It has a beautiful well stocked kitchen with top of the line appliances.The large lawn was well used for baseball. football and soccer games.The management is there if you need them and so easy to work with.We loved our week at Hale Oahu!

The kitchen was well stocked with basic spices, dishes and cooking needs. We were greeted with a beautiful basket of goodies. The garage was filled with an amazing amount of items for the beach. Maybe the only downside was the public access to the beach, next to the property would get a little noisy, and not enough hot water for 11 people to shower, even if we tried to spread out the showers. Overall, we loved the place and I highly recommend this beautiful home for a large group.

Savannah, GA family trip to Kailua

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house, views, and beach front were all equally outstanding. The house had every last detail and slept all 11 of us well. The beach was super clean and usually deserted. The location was excellent as you could walk to the market, coffee shops, and Buzz's Steakhouse which we did frequently. Other than a few excursions to Pearl Harbor and Waikiki we could not bear leaving the compound. We will be back. Kudos as well to Alia from the MGT company as she was always very responsive to any question we had. Thanks!

Beautiful home in paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I had a wonderful stay at Hale Oahu. First of all, the house is amazing. Everything feels brand new from the furniture to the beach towels. My children loved the big back yard to run around in and the jacuzzi tub after a day at the beach was such a treat. Having two washers and dryers was also an amazing perk. We had come from a hotel with lots of laundry to do and had finished 4 loads in no time at all, so convenient! The most amazing thing about this home, is or course, the unbeatable location! This home has a sand path leading directly to Kailua beach (the most amazing beach) and it’s on a slight hill so it’s privately tucked away from beach goers. You can walk to some of the towns shops which was also nice! Lastly, the communication between my family and the property management team was seamless. If we had any questions or needed anything, they were on top of it. I felt like we were being taken care of. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, we hope to be back very soon!
