Everything was great. Only improvements I would suggest are lock box at the house so you don’t have to stop in Lihue to pick upAnd drop off keys. Also dusting the ceiling fans and ceiling above.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: we adored our stay at the watson house!! The home itself is spacious and well stocked. the backyard has breath taking views and plenty of room for littles to run around. it is a quick 2 minute walk to Hanalei Bay and about 5 minute walk from the shops. It has an outdoor shower they was perfect for kids to rinse off before coming into the house. we appreciated how easy it was to drop off/pick up keys, as the office is very close to the airport. We cannot wait to return and absolutely will be looking to rent the Watson house again!!

The location of the Watson home cannot be beat! You are around the corner from Hanalei town and steps from the beach. The backyard and outdoor areas are beautiful - we spent so many hours admiring the view. It’s spacious and well outfitted!

This was the first time we were able to get on Spring Break with my brother’s family, as they live way too far. This place was perfect for 7 of us. Kitchen had all the needed tools and gadgets to cook lots of dinners. Yard is amazing for tossing freebies or just playing catch. Close to any place we planned to visit. Highly recommend it.

This property was a great location for our stay. Layout worked out well for the family as the downstairs was like a separate living space with sleeping. Had 3 adult boys down there and 2 couple up stairs. Overall great stay and would return here.
