The home and property was amazing
Beautiful house! The location was perfect for traveling with young adults/teenagers and my MIL who is 81. Great shops and places to eat close by and the walk across the yard to the beach....amazing! The home is well immaculate and cozy , pool was amazing and the landscaping inspiring. I would not hesitate to stay at this home again when visiting beautiful Oahu. You want to go out and explore (we did!) but you also can't wait to get home again and relax!
Everything about this property was top notch. The yard was beautiful and very big for being right in the beach. The views of the ocean and neighboring mountains were incredible. The communication with the property manager was prompt and succinct. The only thing I could critique was that we had some trouble with the a/c not working in a couple of the rooms, but the property manager was on it quickly and had repair people out fast. All in all it was such a pleasant stay and we will definitely be back.

We've decided this is to be our home away from home. After multiple stays we can't imagine staying anywhere else. Steven and Maki add to the perfection that is Gigi's retreat.

This was our second time staying at Gigi's and we were even happier now that we know the area and are even more comfortable in the house. The location on Kailua beach is unbeatable. The view is amazing. We spent mornings on the beach and retreated to the pool with is on the other side of the house most afternnons when it got too hot. The pool is great with good balance of sun and shade. The two lanais, one facing the beach and one by the pool are perfect for lounging and meals. The house is well designed, very comfortable, and well maintained. The bedrooms have AC, which is needed in the evening - at least in July. Although the living areas do not have AC, the cross breeze is more than enough to keep things cools. Kailua's shops and restaurants are a 5 minute drive and very convenient. Lanikai beach is a hope away! Just perfect. The property manager, Steve, is extremely responsive and is great to work with. We are already planning a return for next year!
Amazing home. Perfect location.

Beachfront plus a pool? What more could you want? We loved this house. We went in June and the ocean was amazing. Love that you can open up the main area and let the breeze in. AC in the bedrooms was great. Looks just like the pictures.
We had a wonderful stay in this house. The property and home were so peaceful and relaxing. I look forward to returning.

Perfect for adults and kids! We had a total of 10 stay and plenty of room with the indoor/outdoor living. Pool, lawn and beach were the highlights. The house was a bonus, fully stocked and manager had a rapid response. Would definitely stay again! Buzz's and Nico's restaurants are super close and good!
Our family of adults and teens had a lovely week at Gigi’s Retreat. The property is perfect for long, lazy days and also situated close enough to anything you’d want to do or need. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This property is in an absolute perfect location! on the beach with enough distance to provide privacy. The beach is soft sand, just the right amount of waves (in July), a mile from the kailua village. It is perfect! the house is beautiful. The owners clearly love the property with lots of art and other touches that make it a home. The property was very well kept, the house extremely clean. the living area cannot be more perfect with ocean on one side and a great pool on the other with the living room in between. I can't say enough about the lawn and the beach access. An amazing tree with a large canopy provides shade all day for sitting either on the lawn facing the ocean or on the beach. All was perfect.Because of a scheduling glitch with VRBO, the property was not ready for two days after we got there. The property managers had found us a wonderful place just down the beach to use for two days even before our plane landed. They were extremely helpful and made the transition as easy as possible. Thank you Steve for all your help. We are ready to book again for our next trip!
The property is exactly as pictured and advertised. Wonderful oceanfront location with an immense yard and private pool. Steven, the property manager, was quick to respond to any questions and provided excellent service. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of beach towels for enjoying the ocean or pool. The owners obviously take great pride in this home as they should. It's a beautiful home in an amazing location. Close to town and all that Kailua has to offer.

This was a setting we will never forget. Its location right in the middle of Kailua beach was perfection. Is it possible to fall in love with a tree? Whether providing contrast to the sea, sand and sky or shelter from the sun we marveled at its beauty. The house itself I would characterize as casual, comfortable luxury. Nothing pretentious or too precious. The kitchen was well outfitted with all the appliances and accessories you could ask for. A lovely basket of local goodies greeted us along with a very clean and well maintained home. Our family enjoyed long walks on the beach, bocce on the lawn, boogie boarding right outside our door, nearby hikes, eating at local food carts and restaurants. If you’re looking for a more authentic Hawaiian vacation away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, this is your place.

Words can't describe the property and the experience of this house. The pictures aren't enough to truly show the magic of this house. Just book it, trust me, you won't regret a single day you spend here. The staff is courteous, prompt, and professional! I'm going back soon!
