Waimanalo Beachfront Home with 5 Master Suites & Central AC

My friends and family stayed on the property. I was there for the entire month. It was wonderful! The beach is right there and it was fun to explore during low tide. Lots of beach towels that we could use and chairs to take down to the beach as well. Gilles was always easy to get a hold of if we had any issues. The house was spacious and clean and had all the amenities we would need. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, silverware, everything we would possibly need.All the showers had great water pressure as well. I would definitely recommend staying here.

We had a big family holiday with kids from age 7 to newborn at the house for almost a month. The location is fantastic — right on a beach that is swimmable and safe for little kids and was never particularly busy. Our 2 year old was in the water almost every day. And it’s great for adults for swimming and snorkeling. We saw lots of fish and sea turtles. It’s a short (15-20 minute) drive to either Hawaii Kai or Kailua for restaurants, groceries and things to do and just down the road from the bigger beach in Waimanalo. The road is quite busy but you don’t hear or see any of the traffic from the house. The house itself has a great layout. A huge living room with ocean views, and a big kitchen / dining area with lots of space to cook and eat. The bedrooms are generously sized, especially the two primary suites, and the en suite bathrooms were great for a family of our size. Property manager Gilles was wonderful. A little hard to reach before arrival but beyond helpful and responsive once we got there. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the house is a little dated with a few quirks for its price. The outdoor foot rinse / shower works but isn’t great. The bathrooms are a bit dated and each one had some small issue (fan broken, tub handle fell off, etc). However, overall it was a great house with an even better location and we would definitely rent it again.

We absolutely loved staying at this large and spacious home! The location on the beach is truly stunning and the swimming is fantastic due to the natural reef about 700 feet from shore. Most days during the week the beach was ours alone. Weekends were somewhat busier. The house is nicer than the pictures show and it truly has everything you need to live very comfortably. There is plenty of beach equipment and towels. As some previous guests have mentioned the house is older and definitely has some 'quirks.' But all the kitchen appliances were in good or new condition and the AC in all rooms worked great. This is home has wear and tear but Gilles the host is excellent and responded very quickly to the couple of needed repairs. It would be best to have a car if staying at the property but we also ubered places and it was never a problem. There are many restaurants and grocery stores 15 minutes away and it never took us more than 35 mi minutes to drive into Waikik. Do not be afraid to stay on this side of the island. It was wonderful. Would book this property again!

The property is literally ten steps away from a beautiful beach. It is very spacious and clean. There is plenty of beach equipment - chairs, towels, boards. It is a bit away from stores, shops, and restaurants so a car is necessary. We enjoyed our stay very much!

My sisters and I planned this trip for our Dad’s 70th birthday and we couldn’t have picked a better place. Our host, Gilles, was awesome and super nice! He came by the day we arrived to greet us and make sure we settled in and had everything we needed. He responds quickly with any questions we had. The property itself is great! The moment you walk in the front door, you just see endless turquoise waters out the back windows. It was breathtaking. The house has plenty of space with 5 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. There was 10 of us total, 8 adults and 2 kids. We rarely left the property since our backyard was the beach. There is a little pool area that is perfect for the kids. We went snorkeling almost everyday and saw so many different fishes. But the best part is definitely the view and the peace and quiet beach. If you don’t want to be near the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, this is the perfect place. The best places to eat are definitely in Waikiki and it’s just a 20-30 minute drive, depending on the traffic. There are other closer towns like Hawaii Kai and Kailua with shops and great restaurants that are about a 15 minute drive. Overall, we would definitely stay here again. We are making it a goal to come back next year. Thank you Gilles for an amazing stay!

My family and I stayed at the property for a month. We worked while there, besides the internet connection and minor fixes it was a great property as it was spacious and beautiful. The property is located at one of the best beaches. The beach is kid friendly, so much to do - fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, swimming. It is very kid friendly and we would definitely come back. Mahalo!

The Chalet has all one needs for a short or extended stay. Waimanalo is a great small Hawaiian town. The beauty is amazing.

House is great and Giles was very easy to talk with if needed. Older house so just little knicks and randomly minor broken things so if that type of stuff bothers you something to be aware of. Outside of that the beach is perfect for swimming and great for little kids.

We are a family of nine of three generations and truly enjoyed this great house right on the beach. The bedrooms are all very large with on suites bathroom, the living area very comfortable for a large group and the kitchen well equipped. There are plenty of beach equipment, outdoor showers and bbq. Gilles the manager is very nice and helpful and addressed quickly any questions or issues we raised.. The house sits on a small stretch of a beach and about 50 yards from it there is a small pool lagoon which is perfect for little kids.

Excellent beachfront property with good swimming and snorkeling. Fantastic views and nice trade winds breezes. Homeless encampments in the area, but wasn’t a problem. Property manager Gilles was good, and when the upstairs AC went out, he responded quickly with portable AC units. Excellent kitchen area, lighting, and audio system throughout the house and deck.
