This house was well-suited for our group of seven, ages 23-82. The bedroom on the main level was great for our "wise one" as she didn't have to negotiate long stairwells. The master is awesome - taking the entire top floor. The master tub and rain shower were amazing! We put the younger group of four downstairs in the two bedrooms and bath (and half kitchen) down there, and used the Movie room downstairs most nights for family gatherings and fun. Everyone said the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is spacious and worked great for us, with both enough space for dinners in and a large fridge for keeping our leftovers from dinners out. We loved the location. At sunrise, you get a beautiful view of Diamond Head from the upstairs windows. At sunset, we walked half a block to the ocean access to watch the sunset over the Pacific. It's also walking distance to several of the easternmost Waikiki beaches, and an easy 5-10 minute drive from the rest. It's 20-25 minutes to Hanauma Bay and half an hour to Waimanalo Beach - one of our favorites. And there is a ton of good food for any meal on Monsarrat or Kapahulu Avenues just 5-10 minutes away. From start to finish, Jenni was a great communicator and host for our trip. Everything was organized and spelled out and the experience definitely met and exceeded our expectations! We'd definitely stay here again.

Our fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration with our family. We found everything as described, and a wonderful home within an easy walk for many little outings. Our daughter became our "concierge" and did most of the communication with Jenni. Her responses were always prompt and helpful. Jenni solved an issue with a misbehaving faucet, and her plumber quickly arrived and saved the day! We enjoyed multiple daily trips to three nearby beaches as well as a few trips to Sandy Beach and Leftover Beach. Snorkeling proved do-able for ages 7 to 70. Really. A very comfortable house and getaway! Many Thanks! (Mahalo!)

The property is wonderful. You all can see it in the pictures and the location. The amazing part of this property is the service and communication from the management company. Ash was wonderful as she kept in communication with us the entire trip. If we go back to Oahu then we will try to get this property again. Notes: next to the ocean, quiet neighborhood, next to a park, close to grocery store, central location to all that you need.

This house, right at the Diamond Head side of Waikiki, was a perfect spot for my NYC family to settle in for a week and a half. We walked along the beach to get the best coffee, watched the water just steps from the house, and barely ever got on the highway! Exercise walks were scenic, and we were just a short drive from the Sony Open country club one way and Ala Moana the other... not to mention a short walk to the Outrigger Canoe Club. Lots of spaces to laze comfortably, and the kitchen offered plenty of room to graze. Bonus - 2 sets of laundry machines! We were more than comfortable in this renovated gem right on the edge of bustling activity. The people at Elite Vacation Rentals, with whom we booked our stay, were incredibly responsive. On request, they installed a hotel safe, fixed a loose bench, and generally were available for anything we needed.

Master bedroom was huge and all the other rooms were neat as well. Love the lighting and steps to the ocean. Had a few bug issues, ants and cockroaches. Other than that it was very cozy and charming house.

We cannot say enough about how much we really loved staying in this vibrant home. Nicer than the pictures. Thanks for such a warm welcome and great customer service by the property manager until our very sad last day. Spotless, beautifully designed and fully furnished home just steps from the beach, equipped fully with everything (plus parking) you'd need for your next island getaway. Perfect for families with children, or small group of friends/extended family. Loved just how much was all in walking distance or easy to reach by car or bus stops nearby - Diamondhead trail, gorgeous Kaimana/Diamondhead/Waikiki beaches, numerous outdoor farmers markets, parks, beachside restaurants, surfing and SUP access just across the street, nearby aquarium and zoo, too many to name. Don't wait, just book it. We'd love to return.

This home has all the charm with ALL the amenities in a truly perfect location. It was so fun to be able to walk to shopping, restaurants, and even better the property was SOOO close to the beach and park. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook amazing in home meals including a kitchen aid mixer which was a true bonus. We are still dreaming of the movie nights in the cozy movie room after our long days in at San Souci Beach! Already planning our return!
