The property overall is just amazing. The private back yard with the pool was one of our favorite.

Hoku Hale House was a wonderful stay! We thoroughly enjoyed the garage with its workout equipment (peloton, light weights, bench, pull up station), air hockey table, basketball hoop and fooseball. There were plenty of sand toys, beach chairs, coolers, cruiser bikes with helmets for use. The kitchen was well stocked (crock pot and rice cooker were a welcome surprise since many VRBO's dont have either). Rooms were comfortable with adequate linens for everyone. Pool and hot tub temps were very comfortable (with toys!). The only challenge was the neighbors who didn't adhere to the quiet hours of 8-8 (voices travel), but did quiet down by 10pm. The Hilton Pool passes were a welcome treat to break up the day/stay - allowing us to partake in the water slide, wading pool area, but you really don't need to leave the house. Wonderful for intergenerational trips - plenty of games (garage games, board games etc), and a very attentive house manager (e.g. the dishwasher malfunctioned and they sent over a technician the next day). Can't wait to visit again

This house was everything a family could ask for. It was well equipped with 2 pack n plays and high chairs for the babies and a kitchen full of utensils for making our own meals. Communication with the host was easy and efficient. They were able to answer all of our questions before and during our stay. This is the place to be for large family/friend gatherings especially with children. Even though it’s not child proof it didn’t take long to put away anything fragile. The pool fence was great and the outdoor showers were a hit with everyone especially the little ones. If we are ever back we will definitely be staying here again.

Beautiful house. The garage and pool were amazing, but the true highlight was having a STOCKED kitchen that would make some of my chef friends amazed for a VRBO. Eating out on the island is a treat, but nothing beats a home-cooked meal, especially when your local choices of ingredients is not only "exotic" but diverse. Cant wait to come back. Aloha.

This house is amazing. You always wonder if the pictures are an accurate reflection of the property and these were exactly what the property looks like. We had a couple of excursions planned and took advantage of them, however, when they were over, we raced back to the house. The kitchen is a gourmet cook’s delight, the 2 outdoor showers were an enjoyable experience and the backyard and game room had something to offer all age groups. We are already trying to plan when we can return to this beautiful home.

If the date is available for your stay, book it now. The property is absolutely stunning. We call it The Pineapple Resort. This is the best place we have ever gathered as a family, aka Pineapple Squad. We had eight adults and two kids under two years old. The pictures posted on Vrbo are exactly how the property looks. Sometimes, website pictures can be deceiving, but this one is exactly as listed. This house feels like a home.
Pros
The inside of the house is spacious and comfortable. The bedrooms and bathrooms are amazing! Meal time was sometimes chaotic, but the kitchen was large enough to handle several people simultaneously. Everything we needed to cook with, serve, clean up, etc., was at our fingertips.
The pool area/backyard is like your own private resort, so we named it The Pineapple Resort. I can't express how we enjoyed the outside area. It is fun during the day, then relaxing at night. The torches and fire pit were my favorites. We really appreciated the screen fence in front of the pool. It gave us peace of mind that the toddlers would not accidentally end up in the pool.
Heather is easy to work with. I asked her about a chef to cook one night, and within hours, Chef Justin called me to begin planning the menu. The food was amazing, as was his crew. Heather also helped me arrange Hulu dancers. At the last minute, I realized we needed an extra pack-n-play. I emailed Heather, it was there when I arrived. Check-in & out was easy.
Cons:
I got nothing

The house was amazing and very comfortable. It was very clean. The pool was wonderful. Heather did a great job on making recommendations for all of our requests. I loved the area where it was located. A short drive to several beaches and several restaurants.

This is a high quality home. Nice finishes and appliances. Heather, the property manager is very responsive and helpful. The place is as advertised plus lots of pool and beach gear and bikes. 5 star no doubt about it.

Everything was as described. The location was a little farther out and away from the action that I anticipated however.
