Large family home in Kailua
Our family of seven enjoyed our weeklong stay at this beautiful home in a residential area of Kailua. Beds were comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Safeway market was walking distance for supplies. The backyard has a lively pool and spa. There’s a beautiful beach a 20 minute walk from the house and the town of Kailua is a short drive. Beach towels & chairs were provided too. Highly recommend staying at this wonderful home..

Perfect for our family, including five adults and three teen girls.
Very convenient location to beautiful beaches, restaurants and shopping. We were in Kailua for two of our teens gymnastic competition. The pool was a bit cool but the girls made great use of it every day. And the hot tub was wonderful after long days. The house was very well stocked.

Great Base for Exploring Oahu
We had 3 couples and each couple had their own BR and bathroom. The hot tub and pool were a great way to relax when we returned from our adventures each day. There are large indoor common spaces including a spacious kitchen, living and family rooms. On top of that is a great covered outdoor sitting and dining area by the pool. The location lends itself to exploring the North Shore, Waikiki, the pali lookout and hiking, etc.

Amazing location and Property.
Fantastic place for family and friends to gather! Property is really amazing; accommodations, gathering space, pool, backyard, distance to beach and other daily needs could not be better. We were a bit worried about the big road behind the house but this was not an issue what so ever. The only thing I would comment on is the overall cleanliness and specifically the kitchen. At this price level we expected something better! Kitchen is equipped OK’ish but very messy and not clean. Would not take much to get this property to a very impressive level all around.

A REALLY Nice Vacation Property
We stayed for about a week. Were on Oahu for a daughter's wedding. Visited Maui multiple previous times (loved it!!!), first time staying on Oahu. We loved, loved the property and it's location (southeast side of Oahu). That area of the island is beautiful and the "vibe" was perfect! Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The house was clean and well maintained. Lots of individual A/C units to help cool each room and space. Really nice kitchen with high-end appliances. Lots of "elbow" room and plenty of cabinet/storage space. Our only critique of the the kitchen was the selection of tableware/dishes. The dishes (plates and bowls), could probably use a modest upgrade. Nice clothes washer and dryer. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all well-appointed with decent linens and plenty of towels. Everyone said their beds were pretty comfortable. Closet space was somewhat limited in a couple of the bedrooms, but plentiful in the other bedrooms. The backyard area is HUGE. Great area to hang out in. Only used the pool a little (due to our schedule), but it is a beautiful, well-maintained pool. There is a separate spa/jacuzzi, but we did not have an opportunity to use it, though it looked really nice. The house is great for a large family. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and pretty peaceful. The location is central to a lot of things to do (at least on that side of the island). A small shopping center with a Safeway and several places to eat is 3-minute drive away.

Beautiful home
The pictures are accurate. There's a large pool, and a hot tub on the property, with a large yard for playing games in - with privacy from the road / neighbors. There's an outdoor seating area to play games and watch TV. The master suite is separate from the 'main' house - which is also nice. 4 spacious bedrooms, and a nice kitchen. The location is nice as well, you're pretty close to a bunch of restaurants, Target, Safeway, etc. Highly recommended!

Simply Wonderful
We loved staying at this home in Oahu. It was our first time visiting Oahu and this home was perfect for our family of 6 (mostly with adult children). The bedrooms were private for the kids and then the main huge lovely master suite was almost its separate living quarters. It had a big king bed, huge bathroom with tub, shower, etc. We felt pampered in the house. The house was stocked more than other houses we have stayed in elsewhere in the US. The communication was quick and terrific. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed. It was lovely to sit outside and eat our meals at the big wooden table in the evenings or play games. We would definitely stay again and would definitely recommend to others with a larger party like us. The location was very quiet, and it didn't seem like it took that long to get anywhere. Approx 30-40 minutes to get to the other side of the island. The views on Oahu are breathtaking.

Peaceful retreat
We stayed with our 4 kids (6-12 years) & my parents. We appreciated the pool & hot tub, backyard with avocado & plumeria trees, space to spread out or gather. Nice neighborhood & location, away from the busy of Honolulu. Kitchen well-stocked. Host responsive when sheets didn’t fit correctly. Downsides - some beds/bedding could be updated. Pool very cold (kids braved it, but hard for adults) - though admittedly we were there in December. Overall, great stay. Lovely home.

A 4.5 rating
We have been visiting Oahu since 1994 and have stayed at many houses. The pros: lovely and quiet neighborhood. Great kitchen-well stocked, individual AC in each room, beds were comfortable, pool, hot tub and yard (although the pool has no hand rail to help older people step in and out). 5 minute drive to great beaches and easy access to other areas of Oahu. The walkable beach (Turtle Beach) is rocky and covered at high tide so not really useable. Beach chairs and umbrella available. New master suite was great. Needs attention: BBQ was filthy and had not been cleaned for a bit. One of the queen bedrooms had a lot of noise from the outside (maybe AC) which made it very hard to sleep in. Small bathroom shower is almost unusable due to the shower head…perhaps look at changing. Kitchen table only has 4 chairs. With 4 rooms and occupancy of 8, there should be 8 chairs. There was only 1 hair dryer for all 3 bathrooms, at least that we could find. All and all, we had a very nice 11 night stay.

Great stay for our first Hawaiian visit
House is as advertised, in a very nice residential neighborhood. Amenities were very close by. Chris and Sara were wonderful hosts, answered our questions promptly prior to booking and made themselves available if we had issues (we didn't). If I had to mention anything, the second shower in the house was a little small but we had two other bathrooms so not a deal breaker by any means. If I'm ever in Oahu I will definitely try to book this property again! Thanks Chris & Sara for your hospitality!

Lovely home, lovely time
We truly enjoyed our visit this past week. Though our visit was a celebration of life and not the happiest of times it was wonderful to come together as a family. Chris and Sara's home is truly beautiful and peaceful. We had a delightful time. Chris made himself available to us via phone when we called regarding our not locating the broom. We feel terrible for leaving the floor dirty after 5 days but we never could locate the broom. There were a few ants in the kitchen and the Keurig, but we quickly solved the problem by placing all the food in the refrigerator and not using the Keurig and buying a can of spray which we left behind for the next guests.

This place is amazing, but more importantly it was immaculate and well provisioned when we arrived. Everything you need for a long distance vacation holiday was already available, for both the pool and beach. Our hosts were helpful and gracious, and we look forward to another visit.

This house was exactly as described and more. We were in Hawaii as a family for my brother-in-law retirement from Marine Corps. This house allowed us a space to hang out as a family - grill, use pool and hot tub but also a good spot to hit many attractions -Waikiki, Sandy beach, diamond head and more. Kitchen , bedrooms and bath rooms are also very nice. It was a great place to stay - Wow!
