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 took our whole family, kids and spouses and six grandkids, on a trip of a lifetime. The house was beautiful, clean, and well equipped. Everyone especially loved the hot tub (the pool was a bit chilly). The beautiful beach was just a short walk away and we loved the little town. Great memories made!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is extremely unique in all of the best ways. The pool and hot tub are one of a kind and make you tempted to not walk to one of the world's best beaches only a few hundred feet away. Kailua Beach is fabulous and the house's location could not be better. Town center is only a mile away with everything you need or want there. The house is equipped with everything you could ask for including high end cooking ware, appliances, beach gear, etc. The best endorsement I could give is to say that we will definitely be back soon.

We booked this location for a work offsite as we have a small team and like to make our own meals. It was absolutely perfect! The kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking stuff we'd need, tons of board games to choose from, and the beach gear was amazing. Between co-working, it was great to be able to either hop in the pool or take a super short walk directly to the beach. The location felt very home-y, would love to stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was exactly as pictured and described. The rooms were large with comfortable beds and pillows. The bathrooms were luxurious and spa-like. The house had everything needed to accommodate 13 travelers. The best part of the home is the pool and hot tub. Everyone enjoyed jumping off the rocks and into the deep end. The property manager was welcoming and quick to respond to any requests/questions.

The property was gorgeous and filled the needs of our group of 10.Close to the beach, as well as a pool. If you are mobility challenged, this may not be for you, as there are a lot of steps.We loved it! Thank you!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this home is outstanding! The beach access is unmatched. We were able to run down to the beach so easily. All of the beach equipment was in the garage and so nice. The home itself is beautiful and very clean. Unfortunately, the AC wasn't working the last four days of our stay, which was a bummer. We chose this house because it did have AC. It got a little uncomfortable in the main area of the home. All the upgrades they've made to the home are awesome but the kitchen really does need some upgrades, hopefully that area is next. Looks like they're remodeling a little at a time. The attention to detail of all the spaces that have been remodeled are amazing!

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: Outstanding property! All that they claim and more. The beach was not even a two minute walk. Plus the beach was beautiful and maybe 10 people on it! Back to the house, we all had plenty of space and privacy. Beautifully remodeled. They even left us a great welcome basket that had so much stuff we couldn’t finish. Only about a mile to everything restaurant and store. Loved Cinnamon’s for breakfast. Host was very attentive and reachable. Seriously nothing bad to say!!

We stayed here with a large group for my 50th birthday. We were a mix of kids & adults. Four families total. First positive, when booking this location the communication was excellent with the property management company who recently took over responsibility. I had booked a different property originally and the communication was neither prompt nor polite. Next, the property manager offered to be there when we checked in to provide a tour. I turned it down only because I thought a long flight with kids was going to have me at my wits end. When we showed up, she had made sure to swing by and get everything turned on and ready for us. So kind and professional! The updates to the home were excellent. It was extremely comfortable and each family felt as though they had their own private space. The location of the kitchen was perfect for all of us to meet and hang out. Though there are homes very close to this one the amount of trees and foliage on the property make it feel like your own little secluded paradise. The pool and hot tub were, of course, a ginormous hit with all of us. The real kicker was the very short, private, and protected walk to the best spot on this strip of Kailua Beach. The home location is far enough away from the state park that you feel you’re enjoying time in your own private beach area. Overall, though we did experience a few “glitches“ with some aspects I cannot say enough positive things about how the management company handled it. So polite and prompt.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This would be a great place to bring my family. It was still wonderful for my husband and myself. Everything was newly refurbished and they had a beautiful welcome basket. The spa was nice, we couldn’t use the pool it didn’t have heat. The beach was beautiful and a three minute walk. We really loved the small town and farmers markets. We plan to return. Thank you for sharing your home.

Not sure what was more calming...a walk through a mangrove patch to one of the world's best beaches, hanging out by the pool at the house or just sneaking back into the bedroom to read.
