Tropical Garden Paradise, Check our SUPER AFFORDABLE RATE, Now Air Conditioned

There were over a dozen flies in the property when I checked in. I brought this to the owners attention and they did provide fly swatters however, by then, I had purchased one. The number of flies did decrease to zero. Electrical problems. The electrical outlet that powers the lights above the second bed sometimes worked but mostly did not work. The outlet that provides power to the floor fan in the living room and a table light in the living room must be on the same circuit because they worked just as poorly. The lights above the bed in the master bedroom sometimes worked, mostly did not work, and sometimes just flickered. These problems were brought to the landlords attention, and their sons attention, but not fixed during my stay.

The place is great, well appointed and clean. The location gives easy beach access and the hosts are wonderful and very helpful.

The property was excellent. It was comfortable, spacious and 179 steps to hit sand through a private gate on a spectacular beach. Viewing sunrises on the beach every morning were spectacular. Lanikia Beach is roughly 6000 steps away and spectacular. The communal beach chairs at the beach edge were very convenient. On a 30 day stay, never had a parking issue on the street.It a great location to explore the entire island. Waikīkī is 30 minutes away, Pear Harbor, 30 minutes away, North Shore an hour away. This side of the island is very scenic. The town of Kialuia is minutes away including grocery and drug stores. The host for this property, Shari and Chuck are very nice, accessible and respond quickly to any needs. If you choose to walk the entire Kialuia and Lanikia beach it’s roughly 12000 steps. I highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful stay at this fantastic property. The unit contained everything we needed (drip and keurig coffee makers, cooking equipment, a safe for valuables, a printer, etc). The unit is as shown in the photos, however, the photos do not convey the charm of the rooms, the beauty of the tropical backyard, and the convenience of the short walk to the beach. Beach access is at the center of Kailua Beach, great vantage point for sunrises and starting beach walks. It's between public accesses to the beach, so it's less crowded on the weekends. It's a slight walk into town, and there is a bus stop very close if you want to take advantage of the public transportation (we took the bus to and from Honolulu). Hosts, Shari and Chuck, are on site and wonderful. They insured all our needs and questions were taken care of

Very comfortable home about three houses away from the beach (through locked gate). We were very busy with family events, but it was nice to stay in a quiet neighborhood home instead of the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. Having a kitchen and a washer and dryer in the unit was very convenient. Shari and Chuck were great hosts.

Shari and Chuck are wonderful hosts. We love spending time at their home. So relaxing and comfortable. We will be back.

My husband and I stayed for 3 weeks. We found the place to be very relaxing and just what we were looking for. So close to the beach and centrally located to all areas on the island. Highly recommend for a laid back experience.

The rental was hot when we checked in at 4PM, but it aired out quickly thanks to fans, and a portable AC unit. Air circulates well when the windows and sliders are open. Lots of sunlight shines through, so it can warm up quickly if you don't get ahead of the heat. The rental was stocked with paper goods, soaps, and trash bags, and was kept pretty clean - rinsing off under the outdoor shower helped to keep the sand and dirt out. Having a washer and dryer, a full kitchen, and a BBQ in the private back yard was nice to have, too. There were a few cooking basics in the fridge and cupboard, but Target and Foodland were close by. There were plenty of dine-in options nearby, but pots, pans, and even an Instant Pot slow cooker were available for us to use to prepare meals when we didn't want to go out to eat. We didn't see a first aid kit anywhere, but luckily we didn't need one. The host did enter the property about 1.5 wks into our stay, which is not what we're used to at all, and it was a complete surprise... but with that being said, we're not the type of family that trashes rentals, we don't travel with our valuables, and nothing we brought with us went missing, so although it was kind of a big deal, it wasn't a truly big deal for us. The hosts communicated well and often, and were overall great. Mahalo plenty, Shari and Chuck, we look forward renting your property again for our next visit home!

Amazing location in paradise!

On the plus side, the location is quiet, lovely, and next to the beach as promised. It's near many amenities and restaurants. The owners are very nice and gave us privacy. The downside was that the house was poorly supplied and not well kept. Toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap were limited or missing altogether. When we turned on the garbage disposal, rotten food came out of it. There is no AC so the rooms get very hot. The portable fans were covered in dust so we had to clean them before use. We also had to wipe down the counters and tables as they had dust or water spots on them. There was used dental floss in the bathroom garbage. Lastly, very little in the way of window coverings so there was no way to filter sun/lights in the rooms or have much in the way of privacy. Highly unlikely that we will use this house again unless changes are made.
