Visited with a group of 4 adults and we each had our own space which was lovely. House is very conveniently located to easily access everywhere we wanted to visit on the island. The house is charming and has a stunning view of the Waikiki shore. Would absolutely stay here again for a future visit!

This house grew on me. I hadn't realized it was an upstairs/downstairs duplex until receiving the check-in instructions (somehow had missed that). Parking is extremely tight as the street is really narrow. The house is nearly 100 years old, as are most houses in Manoa. Once we figured out its quirks - like oddly placed light switches and old-style toilets and door knobs - it really was a charming and lovely home. My wife walked the neighborhood every morning and even got on a first name basis with the locals, who were incredibly welcoming. The view from the lanai is spectacular. If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city, and/or have a reason to be in Manoa like we did to visit our daughter at UH, this is a great choice. My wife liked the area so much she attended three open houses in Manoa on our last day there. I think we'll just keep renting this one.

This is my second stay in four years at this rental. The owners and their managers take great care of this lovely property and have made improvements that enhance the enjoyment of the space, but do not detract from the special historic nature of the dwelling. The house is spotless, the decor has a vintage Hawaiian feel, but the hands-down best feature of the property is the back deck with views of Woodlawn, Diamond Head and Waikiki. A small housekeeping concern came up during our stay and it was handled immediately with great consideration and aloha. Thank you Amanda and Candice for a wonderful welcome back home. We look forward to staying with you again.

This was a great find in Honolulu. Away from the busy downtown but still close enough to drive to if you wanted to explore the hustle and bustle. Lots of stores and restaurants nearby to check out away from Waikiki. You could take a short walk to a few (15min) or drive (2-5min). Very quiet and beautiful property. The only noise was from the windy days but not too disruptive. We would enjoy the wonderful balcony view on cooler days and especially at night. The host was very attentive. I would definitely stay here again.

We were looking for a house for four adults that was essentially located so we can get to the beach into North Shore easily. This house was so beautiful. I felt very comfortable staying here. Every morning, coffee the deck so I can enjoy the view!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this vacation house. The home is lovely, the view is stunning, and its in a nice quiet neighborhood. It's an older house, so the layout is a little odd upstairs with bedrooms and bathrooms (bedroom with bunks had an attached full bath, bedroom with king had no attached bath, bedroom with queen had a half bath with a door to the hallway full bath), but the bathrooms have all the modern amenities and the mini-splits kept the bedrooms cool overnight.
The kitchen was fairly well equipped, except for a shortage of plates. We appreciated the beach towels and beach gear. Unfortunately 3 of the 5 chairs were broken, but there were wicker mats, towels, an umbrella, all of which came in handy.
We spent 5 days here with our 2 daughters, ages 14 & 18 - who both appreciated having their own room. We would definitely return to this house again!

Wonderful house and neighborhood. Super clean and spacious. Beds were very confortable. Kitchen had everything needed. More than plenty of towels including beach towels, and other stuff like beach chairs, umbrella etc.
Loved being able to go to the farmers market next to Safeway. Fendu French Bakery and Off the Hook Poke are a must.

Cool house, had everything we needed, old/historic and clean. The lanai and view were the best part. Parking wasn't the best but as long as your car is not huge it was fine.

This property is simply remarkable in its design, amenities and location. It literally nurtured our souls with the beautiful stained glass, furnishings, views and location. Every necessary amenity is provided and are all high end. It is high and deep into the Manoa Valley so if you are fine driving to the beach, this is a great option. Nice place to come back to after a day of excursions or to just hang out all day. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful home built in 1931. The stained glass throughout the home was so impressive. We had a wonderful stay here. The location was great-we drove everywhere easily. Kitchen well-equipped, plenty of towels and linens, closet full of beach towels and chairs. Super windy weather (not vrbo’s fault!), and a lot of unidentifiable banging, and the doors could use some WD-40. We had a little bit of trouble getting the deck doors to close, but finally figured it out. The vrbo staff was amazing in her response times before we ever got there (had to make a couple of date changes and ask a question!). We didn’t have any reason to contact her during our stay-everything was as described. There is a coffee maker, hair dryer. Bring your own shampoo and bar of soap. We would highly recommend this place!! Thank you for a lovely stay!

My adult daughter & I took my dad to Hawaii for his first time so he could visit Pearl Harbor. (Pearl Harbor should really be on everyone's bucket list!) This was the perfect place for us, as it had three separate bedrooms and toilets for each of us to have our own. We also hate eating out at every meal, and the kitchen was perfectly stocked so we could cook a couple of meals ourselves to eat outside on the wonderful lanai, enjoying the spectacular view! There really wasn't anything we needed or would have changed. It's the perfect location & an easy drive to just about anywhere on the island. Would definitely stay there again! Thanks for thinking of everything for your guests!

We were delighted with this house in Manoa. Its location was unbeatable and the house itself was even better than the description. It was beautifully decorated and furnished (the stained glass windows were magnificent!) Beds were comfortable, we had ample linens. The kitchen was well stocked and there was even beach equipment in the closet. We hope to return many more times!
