We enjoyed the service and property very many little careful touches had been seen to - every necessary supply provided, thoughtful and concise instructions included for operating appliances,everything sparkling clean. When there was a little hiccup (probably user error, we couldn't figure out the DVR) they came over immediately to help us. The property was beautifully maintained with lots of little touches that were so special, tiny orchids peeking out of the bushes and artfully arranged seat groupings all over the property so that you could easily relax with friends or find a special quiet spot to read your book. The furnishings were beautiful and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need with all of the equipment in perfect condition. I have stayed in many vacation rentals. This was really one of the best.

A few issues: The Wireless Internet was inaccessible for the first few days, which required several visits from the cable provider (Spectrum) as well as visits from the Property Mgmt Firm. Eventually the problem was identified - faulty Netgear routers - and the Spectrum Tech returning on Day 3 instead set up wireless through their native WiFi-capable modems - this solved the issue for good, but not after 3 days of hassle. Another issue were the dryers in both houses. Neither seemed to dry the towels on our first run of laundry, despite trying all different settings and temps. Technicians came onsite to resolve, and they found that some of the internal equipment was faulty or broken, requiring adjustment and replacement - they got 1 dryer working (but only with one available dryer setting) and the other was scheduled to be fixed the day we left. Finally, we had an issue with flies in the main house. Despite our best efforts to keep the doors and windows closed, many MANY flies would enter the kitchen. We believe they may have been drawn to a foul smell emanating from one corner of the kitchen (indicating a dead rodent may have been trapped in the walls), but we also noticed that the back door screens did not "seal" the house - rather, they left a 4 inch gap between the outer door and the screen door (plenty of room for flies to enter, which they did in droves). It's worth noting that at all times the Property Mgmt Firm maintained regular communications and immediate responses when we texted them with concerns. They did the best they could in helping us address concerns as they arose, and they also welcomed us to the beach house with a tasty bread pudding with white chocolate sauce. Overall very good handling of our concerns, but the house was somewhat less than what we expected.

The house is not in great shape for a luxury rental. No hot tub, DVD didn't work, needs a renovation. We were particularly disappointed in the "concierge" service. We rent a house every Christmas and this was the worse we've ever experienced. They seemed stressed out and over extended and every request was made to feel like an inconvenience.

We absolutely loved Kailuana. The rental company was easy to work with and the house was amazing. The huge yard was great for the kids and well stocked with boogie boards and beach gear. We spent most of our time on the beach just behind the house. The cottage was lovely as well. The location can't be beat - two minutes to the market or shave ice. You should stay here.

We had a great time in Kailuana. The house was great and the town was fantastic! Walk to the beach and town. Lots to do in this quiet town.
