  This property was a perfect fit for our family. The proximity to Kalanianaole hwy and the limited parking were made known to us prior to booking. Everything was as pictures and descriptions indicated. The only surprise was the morning the yard crew stopped by to cut grass. We thought that should have been scheduled when house was vacant. We took advantage of Kamaikui park down the street to have a wedding reception and that worked well for us and those invited. Overall, we are very pleased.

  Marjorie W from Verdun, Manitoba recommends this vacation rental

  We were awestruck from the time we walked thru the door of this beautiful well appointed home. We were traveling with a group of 10 people, the youngest being 43, and the oldest was 90 (whose Birthday we were in Hawaii to celebrate). All of the rooms were so spacious, and decorated in true Hawaiian "style" which only added to the experience. Very large and open, but yet felt very warm and cozy. Everyone soon found their favorite spot to sit and enjoy the views, whether it was on one of the three deck areas, on the beach, or relaxing on the chaises in the sun room. Even with a group of 10 (incl only one couple), everyone felt that there was plenty of room for each of us to have our own "space". I could go on forever. I am writing this on behalf of my Grandmother, Marge, whose 90th Birthday we were there to celebrate. With my Grandma's limited mobility, she had thought she would never be able to make the trip to her dream vacation spot, but after her knee surgery a year and a half ago, it gave her a whole new lease on life, providing her with the ability to once again travel, and finally have her life long dream (to visit Hawaii) realized. Our stay at this home was truly the icing on the "birthday" cake. We will definitely recommend to friends and family, and hope to visit your beautiful home again. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, and a special thanks to Amanda, and the rest of the staff at Hawaii Beach Homes for their assistance throughout the planning and booking process, and for ensuring all of our needs were met. Mahalo!!

  Justin B from San Fransico, Ca recommends this vacation rental

  
  We all really loved this house, and didn't want to leave after our week was up. It helped make our vacation a very memorable, and enjoyable stay in Oahu.
  
  The location and the house are just fantastic. My relatives from Japan were all super impressed, coming from the overpriced Waikiki high-rises. It's very easy access to the Windward side of the island (15 minutes to the SE corner) and to Waikiki or downtown Honolulu (20 mins). The beach is a nice touch, but not the sandy beaches you might prefer. Still, the hot tub, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and spacious house were exactly what I was hoping for. Parking is a little tricky, but we managed with two cars getting in and out with a couple of 6-point turns. If you're a good driver, you won't have trouble. The house has a great deck, comfortable hammock, nice yard, beach toys and books for the kids, lots of bathrooms, very comfortable outside and inside seating. Nicer than we expected for the price.
  
  Our request to get details about the BBQ's functionality went unanswered - it was out of gas and needed a refill but we weren't sure if it worked in the first place... never got a call back (I assume that the number in the house's instruction guide was outdated, they were attentive to us otherwise).
  
  All and all a great place to stay - We plan to come back next year.

  Absolutely loved this house and hated to leave. Very roomy, everyone had their own space with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The view is spectacular. Morning coffee on our deck off the master bedroom was my favorite time. The guys snorkeled right from our beach and enjoyed it. Use lots of sunscreen - sun was hot on their backs. Perfect family vacation house. We can't wait to go back.

  We just loved the stay in "our house." From waking up to the ocean to relaxing on the deck at night by the ocean we couldn't have asked for more. My children loved having the beach in their backyard and combing the beach for their next great shell. There were 6 adults and we had plenty of room to gather or go off alone if need be. I would recommend this house to anyone any day!

  Tamara B recommends this vacation rental

  We had a group of 4 couples stay in March. It was a great house for us. there was plenty enough room to each have our own privacy , and lots of nooks & crannies for each person to hang out and relax. Everything was as we expected from reading the reviews. Yes the parking is challenging for more than 2 cars. Yes you can hear some street noise. Those are challenges you would have at most houses rather than staying in a hotel. I will say there is not seating for 8 at one table. The hall bathroom tub enclosure could use some maintaince.Plenty of fridge space is nice. And YES the water is shallow, so it isn't the best if you like to snorkel & swim a lot. We enjoyed our stay.

•  

• We highly recommend this home! It is beautiful, both inside and out! We have stayed here two times in the past six months and intend to make it our home each time we visit Oahu!

  Jon T from Manhattan Beach, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Overall I was quite pleased with the place. The waterfront location, the outdoor jacuzzi, the hammock, and the tropical plants inside house served as a great antidote to civilization. The place was very spacious and the beds were comfy and clean. With that said, potential visitor should be aware that house sits along a major highway, which can be a little noisy but no one seemed bothered by it. The WiFi was very spotty. Lastly, the surf break out front is a bit treacherous due to the shallow waters and jagged reef. Definitely surf only during high tides and it's advisable to bring water shoes. Other than those minor gripes, it was a wonderful place and the service was excellent.

  Mary K recommends this vacation rental

  This house was perfect for our family. Our daughter, husband and their 2 children (ages 5 and 6 months) along with our other daughter, husband and 9 year old daughter spend 10 days. We were on the island for our son's wedding to native girl. The wedding was fantastic. It was nice to have Thanksgiving on the beach with all of us including our son, his new bride and her mother and sister. It was truly memorable. We took the children to several beaches during our stay, but they like the "backyard beach" the best.
  One of the nice things that often gets overlooked is all the small things that typically need to be bought the first day; bath soap, hand soap, paper towels, condiments, etc. All of these were already in the home. As we ran out we purchased more and left behind what we did not use.
  The house was is nicely equipped with pots, pans, dishes, glassware although more silverware would be nice. We left the meat thermometer from our turkey dinner.
  Overall this house was perfect for this trip. Amanda from Hawaii Beach Homes went out of her way for us last year when we were looking for a property for this special event.
  Mahalo!

  The home was very lovely and well kept. The large indoor and outdoor living spaces accomodating our group of 10 very nicely. The only drawback was the location of the home right off of the highway and it had a very small driveway for two vehicles. With that aside the views were amazing and the furnishings comfortable. We loved this house and will stay again in the future.

    Were happy you had a great time. We have had 4 cars parked in the driveway at a time but any more then that it does become a problem. You do have to get creative in how you park with more then 2. Please come back.... We love repeat clients. Aloha, Del

  The occasion was a wedding and the house guest were extended familly. The house was more capacious than anticipated, and was well equiped. The furnishings could use some updating but they were certainly adequate.
  
  The location was convenient, but the parking area was small and difficult to negotiate, and it is off the main east-west road.
  
  Particularly enjoyable is the way the indoors flows to the many outdoor spots.
  
  All in all, if you like the people you are with this is a good spot for a week. If you don't, no house can help you.

  We had a great time staying at this location and have already recommended it to friends. The house was big, lots of room if you are going with more than one family. Everyone had plenty of private space as well as enjoying lots of time together. The kids loved to spend hours in the ocean as the water was so warm, not like where we live. Sitting on the beach at night when all the kids were in bed and looking out to the Pacific Ocean was nothing short of spectacular. We had a great time.

  Having four bathrooms was really practical, and both bus and a market was nearby. We would absolutely recommend the property.

  We were able to check in early and leave later which was very helpful and appreciated. You would need to hire a car for your stay to make the most of this house and its location. Great location as so close to major shops and other attractions etc.

  a guest from Edmonton, AB recommends this vacation rental

  As a group of 10 adults (25-33 years), we found that the house had everything that we needed and that we were able to stay there comfortably without tripping over one another. In fact, we barely left at all! We were super excited to have our own swim area, but unfortunately we weren't able to swim in front of the house as the water was only knee deep as far out as the break and the sand was too rough to walk on without shoes.
  We had no complaints, aside from an issue that required the property manager to be involved and we were all very disappointed with the customer service we received. Fortunately the problem was resolved a few weeks later (at out expense, I might add).
  At the end of the day, we had a great trip and enjoyed all the amenities that the house offered.

  • Manager Responded on 5/31/2010

    The issue referred to by the client was a bathroom counter that was broken. We hired a very experienced contractor to install a new counter, according to him the counter was broken in a manner that indicated a large amount of weight had been placed on top, most likely from a guest or two sitting there. We applied the damage waiver to the cost of the counter ($50 paid by client that covered $500 of the damage), and paid for half of the remaing cost ourselves.

  We needed to be in the Honolulu area and South Shore 35 fit the bill nicely. It's still "city" but you avoid the craziness of Wakiki. The view outside the home is simply stunning, and the property manager has done a fantastic job with the rooms and amenities. Road noise wasn't that big a deal for those in the back rooms, and the front rooms hear pretty much nothing but ocean. Highly recommend this location for a group.

  We had a blast staying in Hawaii. We loved the location and how roomy it felt. There were 10 of us staying there and it did not seem like it. The kids were able to play on the beach and able to go out in the water with their water shoes on and we didn't have to worry about them getting swept away from the tides. It is a great place for families with kids. We will definitely stay there again if we are fortunate enough to go back.

  We had help from mother nature, as the tides were out at the time of our wedding, which gave us more space and better photo opportunities on the beach. The beach is quite private and its hard to tell you are right in the city! House was well set up for a large group (12 people). Loved the shower in the beach side bedroom. You can open the shutters and soak up the view of the ocean.

  This house is beautiful. My fiancee and I rented it for our wedding guests from the mainland. It's nicer than the pictures show; it has high ceilings and is quite roomy. It was hard for us to coordinate everything between our guests (some were staying for different days and we weren't positive who all would be staying there until last minute), but the staff were very accomodating.

  I was there for a week with my family (wife,three sons and two wives). We had a great time and enjoyed the house. Our only complaint was the location in terms of the road(it was difficult to enter and exit). The extra lane on weekdays helped as I had to go in each morning to participate in a conference).

  a guest from Los Gatos, Ca recommends this vacation rental

  This house was almost perfect for us (2 families, each with 2 teenagers) - the layout of the bedrooms, the view, and the proximity to things we wanted to do (snorkeling, shopping, Waikiki). It was clean, well appointed and very spacious. The property management company was very helpful in answering our questions and directing us to good recommendations for things to do. Two disappointments, however, were the amount of road noise inside the house - especially at 6am in the morning during the week (this made it nearly impossible to sleep in), and the quality of the beach (it was very rocky and full of coral). Our kids, even as teenagers, LOVE to play in the surf and build sandcastles, which is the one of the main reasons we picked this house as it "had its own private beach". Sadly, it was not suitable for what our kids wanted it for. As a result, I think the kids spent more time inside watching TV instead of enjoying the outside - a real tragedy when you come all the way to Hawaii to enjoy its warm water and sandy beaches.

  Rented the house for a group of friends coming to Honolulu for the week, and the house was the perfrct place to relax--noise from the main street barely noticeable once on the beach side, amazing views, hot tub, hammock, new Weber grill, all the kitchen tools one could want. Even a big LCD TV with a Blue Ray player. Truly a fully loaded property arranged in such a way that 15 people can enjoy it without constantly bumping into each other and stepping on each other's toes.

  We stayed with our 3 kids (ages 15 - 22) and the number of rooms and baths was perfect. The hot tub was a huge hit. We watched fireworks on the 4th of July from the bay right off of the backyard. The kids took surf lessons at Ala Moana Bowls with Nancy Emerson, whom I *highly* recommend. The kitchen and BBQ let us enjoy "eat in" meals that were fabulous (we love to cook). The extra fridge for beverages was a fantastic idea. We had originally looked for a property with a pool, but we didn't even miss it staying here!

  As soon as we waked in we were really overawed. The house was very spacious we appreciated this as we were a party of 5 adults. We loved the open plan layout inside and the outside space wss fantastic. Only drawback was there were only 2 loungers but there were plenty of other seats We loved Oahu and the people. House couldn't have been better only drawback if you are not used to traffic noise this may disturb you at night. Hope to return at some time (soon)

  A couple small items of concern: shower control in 2 bathrooms difficult to regulate water temp; 1 fan did not work; light switches not labled, guessing game what worked what; wash cloth left in washer soured, took a few loads to get rid of smell.
  An item of large concern: huge amount of termite droppings into and behind kitchen sink. When cleaned, were back in a short amount of time. Tried to catch with paper towel, but still dropped into and around kitchen sink.

    kitchen has been replaced no more termites. temp gage in showers fixed the parts finally arrived from the mainland. Good idea to label the switches so many fans and lites. Thank you for your comments. Delores

    This guest broke the house rules and violated the contract she signed and was extremely upset when we called her on it. We have a responsibility to the neighborhood and owners that requires us to make sure guests do not over crowd the homes or have unauthrized event on the property. We are sorry that she felt this way but we were only doing what we were legally and professionally required to to.

  One negative was if you had to back out of the driveway. It was the main street and quite busy. And, there was only parking for 3 cars (maybe 2 more, but someone would have to move their car if someone else wanted out). No street parking. Plenty of room both inside and out. 3 of the 4 bedrooms had their own private bathroom. It would've helped if they would've labeled the many light swithches. Since we had a late flight out of Honolulu, they were able to accomodate us with a later check-out.

  We lived in Hawaii for five years and always feel as if we are returning home when we vacation there. This home was lovely with a beautiful view of the bay. Our granddaughter came with us and thoroughly enjoyed going out each day to build sandcastles in front of the house. The calm waters are perfect for children. The home was comfortable with lots of space. We picked this location because it was so centrally located to stores, Sea Life Park, traveling north up the coast, and getting quickly into Waikiki. It was away from the hustle-bustle of the Honolulu central so gave more of a feeling of tropical vacation time. Will stay there again.

  The property only had ONE roll of paper towel for one week's stay. There was not enough toilet paper. The washer/ dryer were not clean. Had mildew smell. Nephews and Niece came over to visit my kids on the way to a water sport outing and we were having BBQ, the stayed for a bit to have a bite to eat and we were charged for violation of contract. Better read your contract clear. I don't appreciate their accounting office either. They over charge me at first and did not want to refund me until I contacted them many times. The location was great though but I would not put up with their unfriendly management people. I am a rental property owner myself and I don't treat my guests like that. I will not go back there again even though it is a great location.

  Even though I live in Honolulu, I would love to have the chance to stay at this place again... my guests and I couldn't have been happier. As a resident, it was nice to provide a place for my friends and family to stay... and also take advantage of the opportunity to stay with them and feel a little like a tourist in my own town! One thing that was pivotal to me about this place was its location... outside the madness of town and Waikiki but still reasonably close so that it was convenient to other attractions, familiar restaurants, etc. Everyone was happy with these stellar accomodations. Aloha!
