We traveled to Oahu for a wedding. We were a party of 7 (all adults) and this was the perfect house for us. The house: The views from the living area and master bedroom balconies are simply stunning!! The house is very spacious - the kitchen is huge, the bedrooms are large and comfortable with 4 bathrooms. The house was spotless and well equipped with kitchen accessories which made it easy to cook meals on some nights. There is a storage area that has a kayak, as well as an abundance of snorkels, masks, and sand tools. There is also a wonderful outdoor shower area. The location: This house is literally only a 5 minute drive to Lanakai Beach! Go early before all the parking is gone! We actually preferred the 10 minute walk down the hill to the little beach access area there. It was so beautiful and quiet. We even took the kayak down and paddled out to the islands.
Management: The owner, Rick, and the manager, Joanie, were a pleasure to deal with. They were responsive and helpful and made our stay so wonderful!!!
We are regular VRBO renters and can honestly say that this house has been one of our favorite rentals!

The view from this property is just as pictured. We stayed in February and enjoyed watching the whales out in the ocean,very active in the early am and late afternoon. The walk to the ocean is 5 minutes, and 20 minutes to the Lanikai beach. It is very quiet, and within 1.8 miles of downtown Kailua, which has everything, several local dining options as well as the usual chains, McDonalds and Starbucks. Whole Foods and Foodland for groceries. Candas, the property manager, was great, she met us as we arrived and showed us the ropes.

Absolutely gorgeous! This was a true "island experience" without sacrificing convenience. Woke up every morning to a beautiful sunrise and watched the full moon rise over the Mokulua Islands! Isolated and very quiet location, but a quick drive to stores and shops in Kailua. A casual 10 minute walk to a very quite beach. The house is clean and well maintained with all the necessary amenities. Bikes, kayak, sand toys, beach chairs, etc. Island hospitality at its best! The house gets a little warm during the day (no A/C), but once the windows are opened, the cool island breeze makes everything perfect. Plenty of space to relax in the house. There were only 5 of us staying, but felt we could have had another extended family stay with us.

We really enjoyed the villa. The view on the sea is amazing and the way the house has been built and designed is so well thought. The sizes of the rooms were very spacious. There was a lot of greenery around the house was very nice as we had a feeling of nature all around. Each window has a net, so we could enjoy the nice breeze during the day and the night. The house is just few minutes walk of Lanikai beach which makes it great to go to the beach in the mornings. The neighbourhood is very quiet, clean, peaceful and charming. Actually the reality of the house is nicer than the feeling from the website. So I would really recommend this villa. We would for sure definitely like to come back.

Great house with incredible views! The pictures don’t capture the tradewinds, sounds of the beautiful birds singing and the fragrant tropical smells from all the flowering trees! My family of 5 with 3 adult children in their 20’s enjoyed many dinners, drinks and card games on the lanai. Lanikai Beach is beautiful and the kayak provided several trips out to the Mokes! Biked into Kailua for a crepe breakfast...felt right at home! Beds were all comfy, great water pressure in all showers and kitchen and Weber charcoal grill worked perfectly! Thanks for a wonderful home to make our week special!

Our family of eight was able to spread out and have space of their own. As a group we spent all our time on the upstairs porch - meals, reading and relaxing. The views from every room were spectacular. We appreciated the sports equipment and even made an adventure of hauling the kayak to the beach! The outdoor shower was used often after trips to the beach and one very muddy waterfall hike. Candy accommodated our daughter’s early arrival from Australia. Having 3 full bathrooms made our life easier with two teenagers. Our only problem was the uphill drive but our son mastered it quickly and was able to back the cars up with ease. We hope we get another opportunity to stay there!!!

Our group of 8 family and friends stayed at this lovely home for 12 days. After a long day of travel, arriving at this property and stepping onto the porch, the view made it all worth it! The house was spacious enough to fit all of us easily, beautifully decorated, and everything we needed. The pictures do not do this view justice! It is also very quiet and private. Other reviews mention the steep driveway...which is true, if you have more than a couple of cars that driveway will require shuffling. Other than that...this is an amazing property with a wonderful responsive host. Book it, you won’t regret it!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this house and were sad to leave. We traveled with two families and the four bedrooms worked out perfectly for parents and teens. The view from the house is exactly as shown in the pictures, even better really, because of the sounds and breeze. The house is a few blocks from the water with beach access within walking distance. It’s in a very quiet residential neighborhood at the top of the hill on the end of the street, so it’s very private. The teens were very happy with the beach and the WIFI! Security deposit promptly returned to us. Very clean, contemporary decor with beautiful furniture from Asia. We would definitely stay here again.

An incredible week with the family in this luxurious and spacious home with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean situated on a hilltop overlooking the quaint town of Kailua. A short walk or drive to the most beautiful beach on earth followed by late afternoons relaxing on the grand lanai and terrific dinners. We look forward to renting this first class turn key establishment every year.
