Reviews
Excellent view of the mountains and the Pacific Ocean, we had a great time. The area is quiet, beautiful and safe. I highly recommend this amazing house. You do need to have a car to travel everywhere. Wake up early and come back early because it gets very dark right away.
This location is breathtaking; the home is extremely functional & has every amenity you can dream of.
Excellent well equipped home....sunset views...responsive property manager...great backyard...we would rent again.
Beautiful home. Perfect stay!
We are a family of 5 with older kids and this home was perfect for us! Well stocked kitchen, excellent communication from Michelle and Kailua, beautiful neighborhood and access to the resort is a plus. 5 stars all around!
Our family all agreed it was the best Hawaii vacation home we’ve stayed in! The house was well equipped with all the amenities we needed and communicating with Michelle and Kailua was the best.
Great home, quiet community, responsive host / property manager
Spacious, beautiful home, high end finishes, great privacy, great for cooking, owner and management staff were easy to work with and very friendly.
One of the best properties we have ever rented! The owners, property management and the resort staff were all superb. I would highly recommend this property and it’s within 5
The hot tub and pool can be heated! The owner has a fully equipped kitchen that is extremely well labeled for ease of use. Outdoor seating can accommodate 8-10 guests if needed. Owner is very pleasant to work with and readily answers questions beyond what is explained in folder.
We are repeat visitors at Michelle's villa, and it never disappoints! We have stayed at other Wai Ula Ula villas over the years, and we keep wanting to come back to Michelle's specifically! She and her house managers are quick communicators and make the whole process from booking, through the vacation, to the inevitable sad departure super easy! The house is beautifully decorated, very clean, and well-stocked. The set up is fabulous for our family. We love the beautiful surroundings, and we always enjoy the high end amenities of this spectacular villa and the Mauna Kea resort. We will definitely be back! Thank you Michelle!!
The unit was incredibly well organized and absolutely awesome. We had a great stay, management was also very responsive.
This property is as advertised: beautiful, clean, and lovely. Property owner was responsive as was the property manager. We experienced no issues during our wonderful stay. Would highly recommend this property and would stay again. 5 stars everywhere.
Home is beautiful, perfectly described and exceeded expectations. Our 2 families, + 84 yr old mom stayed here for 6 amazing nights! The home was enjoyed by the whole family, from cartwheels on the plush grass, the sunrise views on short walks, to star gazing almost every night, to the home having everything you could possibly need, easy to find and plenty of it! Communication with Michelle and the local manager was always without delay. This trip was to celebrate 3 birthdays in our family and it was super special!. 🌺🌸
Fabulous home - perfect set up. Love the size of bedrooms and bathrooms/closets. The kitchen island is huge and well appointed with all the necessities. Would love to visit again!
Our family enjoyed this luxurious property behind Mauna Kea and Hāpuna resorts. We loved the well-stocked large kitchen, the ample space (3 bedrooms with ensuites) and the outdoor showers. The kids (4 and 6) loved the heated pool and hot tub. The location is quiet and peaceful and we loved having supper while watching the sunset in the spacious lanai. We would love to return. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at Michelle's place. It was very clean and well appointed. We really enjoyed spending time on the lanai and using the private pool and hot tub. Michelle and her property manager were very responsive if we had any minor issues come up. The villa was well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful property. Fabulous beaches. Great escape. The villa is terrific. Lovely furniture, clean, well-maintained, well stocked with plates, glasses, pots/pans etc. for cooking. We have stayed in several WUU villas over the years and this one is particularly nice (and because of that we are returning guests of Michelle's). Michelle is excellent to communicate with before booking and even with questions after booking. She sends you all the info you need in advance and makes arrival smooth and easy. And her on-site manager, Eric, is also terrific and was super quick to respond to the handful of questions we had while at the house. The beaches at Mauna Kea are fantastic, tennis and golf terrific too. We will be back for sure! Thank you Michelle (and Eric) for a great vacation!!
