Our family truly enjoyed the amenities, the scenic views from the property, the cleanliness, the size, literally everything! We traveled each day to different parts of the island and the drive can be a bit much each day but we loved it! We made friends with locals everywhere we went. This property is great! We generally stay in Ko Olin’a or Waikiki in separate rooms which takes away from the bonding you get when booking a home. I recommend it! ##### Angelica R.

We spent the entire day there and took a picnic lunch.The property is beautiful and have games and water equipment for every activity along with beach gear including a cooler. Nice garage with washer and driver.There were 6 of us and we went to Safeway got groceries . The kitchen fully equipped, clean, decor , yard and views were serene.We drove to the.North shore and Honolulu which was about an hour drive but wasn’t bad at all.Beautiful and safe stay. Would stay again.Mahalo ##### Jacqueline M.

Reviewer Comments: The house was everything that was advertised. Well stocked with kitchen items, beach gear including 8 beach chairs. It was extremely spacious. The neighborhood was well maintained and secure. The general area of the West Coast of Oahu had beautiful beaches but many homeless encampments set up along the beaches which was disappointing.We absolutely loved the house. ##### Alicia R.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 10, had a wonderful stay! The house had all the amenities and space for our family. Having a golf course on the property and only a five minute drive was a great addition. You will have to drive about 45 minutes to excursions such as Waikiki or Kualoa Ranch. After our day activities we were able to come back and BBQ, in a peaceful setting with ocean views from the back yard. Highly recommend if you want relaxation and tranquility. My Family would definitely return to this property. ##### Irene M.

Would book again 100% ##### Jesse R. ### 6/10 Okay #### Adam P. 5 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Location #### Not Great! Well, property seemed much nicer in photos, rooms where small and one bedroom, King bed too large for that room. Overall, the place felt cramped. Coffee Keurig machine not working, no soap in some bathrooms, no towels in guest bathroom, upstairs bathroom window screen full of dirt, no tissue boxes, no greeting gift, usually there is a small backet of snacks on high-end properties. Also, no basic necessities like dish soap, potholders, more than one plunger. Not a place I would stay at again. ##### Adam P.
