We stayed for 10 proper days and are now counting and contemplating how soon we can return. It's THAT wonderful. The pictures are great - but don't come close to telling the WHOLE story. It must be experienced. You will wont for nothing. It's ALL here. I'm pretty sure we were all teary eyed as we left for the airport. Our new BEST PLACE EVER. ##### Liane L.

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 pictures say it all: the yard and beach access can't be beat. Loved sleeping in a very comfy bed with the windows open to the sound of the surf, then getting up at dawn for walks on the beach for the scenic sunrise and the brightest double rainbow I've ever seen.Inside, the house is very spacious, and the kitchen has high end pots and pans, an induction stove, a Vitamix blender, a Zojirushi rice cooker.... Only nit was that the washer had mildew, which is not a surprising for a front-loader used by renters in humid area. However, the sheets etc. must have been washed elsewhere because they had no mildew smell.

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: This was the absolutely perfect place for our family. There was something for everyone from the pool and beach for the kids and big kids to quiet puzzles and relaxing reading spaces for the older adults. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable. The water toys that were provided, the huge lawn and beautiful uncrowded beach made the kids so happy. We bbq’d often, sat on the lanai for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the trade winds in the main living area via the telescoping sliding doors. Nearby Kailua town was perfect for grocery shopping and grabbing takeout. Patty responded quickly with questions I had. My parents left saying that this was the best vacation they’ve ever taken.

The bathrooms are modern with huge showers! The house is super comfortable with all the rooms delightfully furnished and well supplied. The online description was totally accurate.The pool was very enjoyable and refreshing after walking along world famous Kailua Beach or sightseeing around the island.The management team were very responsive from beginning to end. Patty was great at teaching us how to operate the TV!The location is in close proximity to Kailua town with all its restaurants and coffee shops. Times Supermarket is a treasure trove for shopping.We are already planning our next trip to Kailua and will definitely stay at Gigi's Retreat again. ##### Sheila W.

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: This was a setting we will never forget. Its location right in the middle of Kailua beach was perfection. Is it possible to fall in love with a tree? Whether providing contrast to the sea, sand and sky or shelter from the sun we marveled at its beauty. The house itself I would characterize as casual, comfortable luxury. Nothing pretentious or too precious. The kitchen was well outfitted with all the appliances and accessories you could ask for. A lovely basket of local goodies greeted us along with a very clean and well maintained home. Our family enjoyed long walks on the beach, bocce on the lawn, boogie boarding right outside our door, nearby hikes, eating at local food carts and restaurants. If you’re looking for a more authentic Hawaiian vacation away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, this is your place. ##### Leslie T.

Reviewer Comments: This property is in an absolute perfect location! on the beach with enough distance to provide privacy. The beach is soft sand, just the right amount of waves (in July), a mile from the kailua village. It is perfect! the house is beautiful. The owners clearly love the property with lots of art and other touches that make it a home. The property was very well kept, the house extremely clean. the living area cannot be more perfect with ocean on one side and a great pool on the other with the living room in between. I can't say enough about the lawn and the beach access. An amazing tree with a large canopy provides shade all day for sitting either on the lawn facing the ocean or on the beach. All was perfect.Because of a scheduling glitch with VRBO, the property was not ready for two days after we got there. The property managers had found us a wonderful place just down the beach to use for two days even before our plane landed. They were extremely helpful and made the transition as easy as possible. Thank you Steve for all your help. We are ready to book again for our next trip! ##### Afsaneh N.

The location was perfect for traveling with young adults/teenagers and my MIL who is 81\. Great shops and places to eat close by and the walk across the yard to the beach....amazing! The home is well immaculate and cozy , pool was amazing and the landscaping inspiring. I would not hesitate to stay at this home again when visiting beautiful Oahu. You want to go out and explore (we did!) but you also can't wait to get home again and relax! ##### Desirae W.

Reviewer Comments: We've decided this is to be our home away from home. After multiple stays we can't imagine staying anywhere else.

The yard was beautiful and very big for being right in the beach. The views of the ocean and neighboring mountains were incredible. The communication with the property manager was prompt and succinct. The only thing I could critique was that we had some trouble with the a/c not working in a couple of the rooms, but the property manager was on it quickly and had repair people out fast. All in all it was such a pleasant stay and we will definitely be back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b1867537-606f-4f1b-8d2c-ab755b4f9a4a-1757268504637.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b873efa7-b60d-4de7-8170-d6d87deaab97-1757268505326.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/36da4758-36bd-4ed6-acc1-aa6a8adb555a-1757268497208.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jon E.

Reviewer Comments: Beachfront plus a pool? What more could you want? We loved this house. We went in June and the ocean was amazing. Love that you can open up the main area and let the breeze in. AC in the bedrooms was great. Looks just like the pictures. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liane L. 14 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise Found Everything about this home and location exceeded our expectations.
