We loved the location, just steps to a less trafficked beach. The outdoor shower and all the beach supplies (boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear) were fantastic. The house was well stocked and comfortable. And mary was super helpful with all of our questions. The only thing we missed in the description was that the third bedroom was below the main house and you needed to take the outdoor stairs to get there, so it was a bit tricky with our two kids.

Just as described online, a home with a welcoming environment, private and yet right on the beach. Lovely lanai to sit on and watch the whales go by. Mary was very responsive and helpful throughout.

Wonderful spacious house, well equipped, beautiful view. House was clean, staff was very helpful. Would highly recommend it. Enjoyed the beach very much. Made sure to watch the sunset almost every day. (didn't bother when it was raining, which was one day)

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this perfectly located paradise. Just steps from a gorgeous beach with fantastic snorkeling and amazing sunsets. We had a group of 7 with family and friends and there was plenty of room for everyone and the house made you truly feel the Hawaiian experience.

Classic Hawaiian beach house literally right on the water. The property manager did a great job of communicating and checking in on us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The house has a ton of character and is located in a beautiful colony of houses on a hidden gem of a beach. This is worlds away from the cookie cutter golf course houses that you see too frequently here. The location generally is also excellent. It’s about a 5min drive from Hapuna beach which is one of the best beaches in the world…on par with Hanalei. And it’s only about 15-20 min to Waimea which has the best dining options on the big island.

I've stayed in several homes on Waialea Bay and this is a great one -- clean and nicely appointed with everything you need. The lack of clutter is almost as soothing as the sound of the water lapping against the shore. It's a lovely house. And the location is unbeatable.
