The house was very nice and spacious. The location of the house is the best. I couldn't have found a better spot for my friends and family to have stayed. Will be back to same house again one day!

Kitchen was fully stocked with most condiments, some seasonings and had all utensils required to confidently cook for a large group of people.Balconies could use some cleaning for comfortable sitting and use.Having baby gates available for use was very appreciated.Lower floor of home had a strong odor that may make it challenging for some to sleep. However, beds were comfortable and plenty of room for large groups of people.

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Waimea! The house has plenty of room, making it perfect for families or groups. It was well-stocked with everything we needed during our trip — from kitchen essentials to beach gear, which made things super convenient.The location is fantastic — just a short walk across the road to the ocean, where we were able to catch a glimpse of the resting sea turtles. It’s also just a quick drive to Hapuna Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.Overall, it’s a peaceful and comfortable place to stay with a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure nearby. We’d definitely come back!

Great house! Great location! Perfect for our family of 12. Loved that we could pick fresh limes from the garden. The host and ohana were amazing and very responsive. They even went and got us baby gates so our 1-year-old could stay safe with the stairs. We highly recommend!

Wow, what an amazing house! The rooms were spacious and easily accommodated our large family. Beautiful sunshine poured into the house which made coffee in the morning and drinks in the evenings on the many lanai's very enjoyable. The back yard was peaceful and full of song birds, but what I loved most was being able to walk to the ocean in under a minute! This is definitely the nicest place we have stayed on the island and would definitely stay here again.
