The home was lovely and had everything. The location was perfect. The home was clean and warm with decor, anything we needed was in the home. The staff was very helpful in all aspects of the home and the stay. We had a few friends over for dinner a few evenings and they reflected the same feeling of the home. It was bright, open, clean and had anything we needed to cook, enjoy the pool, beach. It was a lovely time. Thank you!
This home is everything we wanted in a vacation rental. Close to the beach, and even though we rented a vehicle, the bus was close by at the park if we wanted to use city transportation. We couldn't be more pleased with how this vacation worked out!
We were there for the Sony Open Golf Tournament and it was a perfect location to get to and from the course in just minutes, as well as, a short walk to Waikiki Beach. We had our 6 and 9 year old grandchildren with us and they were able to go across the street and run and play in the park to burn of extra energy. A beautiful home and we loved it. Highly recommend this one!
I thought the house was nicer than it looked in the pictures. After a trip to the grocery store it was just like home. The spa was nice and the back yard was private enough to relax in. I would not hesitate to rent this property again.
This location was defiantly larger then we expected plenty of room for our group and areas of the house to just get away. I wish we could have hung out out side later to enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian nights but even talking softly disturb the neighbors, i think because the pool made our voices echo. I Love how tropical it feels around the pool, but i may suggest trimming foliage on the south side so the pool gets a little more sun. But it was like paradise in your own back yard, we could have just stayed at the house for the 5 days we were there. I would have like to enjoy the hot tub more but again i didn't want to disturb the neighbors. A another air conditioner in the newer great room upstairs would be a great idea because it does get quite warm up there, so warm we couldn't really enjoy that beautiful room too much. Over all we would recommend this location to any one!! We will also be back to use it in the future. thank you
The house has so many good features...location, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, nice furnishing and overall a good vibe throughout.
Kitchen and Bathrooms could have been cleaner. House was in a noisy location. Air conditioners were not efficient enough to keep the living, dining and overall downstairs cool enough. Pool was not clean and had to call management.
The home was just remolded and many new rooms were added. We have order a bigger split air conditioner in the living and kitchen area in the downstairs area and is to be installed on Oct. 14th. Pool is cleaned once a week on Wed by a pool company. Managment did came in and cleaned out the leaves that were in the pool within 10 minutes of the call. There is a pool sweep that goes on when the motor goes on at 10 am but maybe the clients were not aware of that. We have since made notes of that in the binder in the home. The cleaning staff has been spoken to about the cleanliness of the kitchen and bathrooms, however if Hawaii Beach Homes was notified of this we would have been happy to send a cleaner in to take care of any issues. Mahalo for the feedback.
This property was so much more than we expected. This house was simply amazing. It was beautiful, comfortable and in the perfect location. The new addition to the house was beautiful. It was the perfect family vacation. Everything was fantastic. Can't wait to do it again. There was not one negative aspect about this house.
We rented this property for a week stay in May 2009. It was very comfortable for a 4 adults and 2 small children. It was an ideal location for those wanting to be close to downtown Waikiki without all the associated noise. Lovely neighborhood near the park. Also ideal for driving to Oahu's east shore. I would highly recommend this rental.
A great location for Diamond Head. Very quaint house, beautiful wood floors. Opposite a beautiful park in a very nice residential area. Note - if you are a very light sleeper there is some noise from the nearby bus stop - buses sit and wait for a few minutes.
Great location! The property was smaller than we expected from the pictures on the website but it is very centrally located to the park and beach. One of the bedrooms had a crack in the ceiling and was leaking during a rainstorm on our last day there. The manager came and took care of it within the hour. All in all, a good experience.
The owners have planned a reroofing begining the second week in January
This property is in a fabulous location just off Waikiki and Diamond Head. It has its own pool, which is very nice, beach chairs and a supply of beach towels. You can walk to Sans Souci beach. Two bedrooms with king beds share a bath. The third bedroom is miniscule - it has a trundle bed, but the room is too small to open it, so it can accomodate only one person. You must go through this bedroom to reach the second bath and the washer/dryer.
The house is big enough for a family and the pool is great! The home was better than expected and is in a great location. Not right in the craziness of Waikiki but close enough to everything. Plus right by parks for running and walking. I would definately recommend this property. You won't find a better property with a private pool for that price! Well worth it!
Almost all is good for this property. I feel comfortable and enjoy. That point improved is the information how to announce the secret number of main door.( I have not been informed, so I should call you. But after that, I called owner? and felt relaxed. It was good!
We enjoyed the pool and spa area tremendously. The kitchen was also very well stocked.
Look out the front window at wide expanses of Kapiolani Park. The swimming pool and hot tub were in excellent condition. Loved being able to head for places on the windward side of the island without the traffic of Waikiki. Home had lots of beach towels, kitchen spices, and even laundry soap for the washing machine.
We had a wonderful stay. The kids would wake up very early (4hour time change) and wander across the street to the lovely Kapiolani Park and sit and read or draw while we slowly got started for the day. The pool was a great way to come home from a hot day of sightseeing and cool off and enjoy each other's company. The house was lovely but our suggestion would be to have it cleaned weekly even if guests are staying 2 weeks. It would have been nice to have an outdoor table and chairs set so that we could sit with our coffee in the morning or early evening. Though it was on a busy street, one never felt unsafe. The kids loved the local people walking by with their dogs and often ran out to say good morning to them. They even had a 4 legged friend come and say goodbye the last morning. The house was close enough to the beach that one could quickly walk there, but far enough that you could get away from the activity when one wanted. A quick drive got you to a beautiful Safeway that stocked everything we could have possibly needed. Overall this house was a pleasure to rent and we will keep it in mind next year! Thank you to the owners for allowing us the opportunity to rent!
Hello, The property was in a great location and I provide the following additional comments: 1) The house was clean, but not overly so. There was dirt in some corners and general dust. My wife provided comments directly to the property management. 2) The gas grill was not working as expected. The valve leaked when turned on and would have been dangerous if we tried to light it. We used the charcoal grill, but we would have preferred the gas grill. Thanks for a great stay. Brent Johnson
Even better than we expected!!! Nice everything, could not have asked for more!
This vacation rental was very nice. We loved the private pool and hot tub area. The bungalow was spacious and clean. The location was great for us, close enough to busy Waikiki but far enough away from the noise. We would rent this property again or recommend it to friends.
We really enjoyed the feeling of being at our own space for the 10 days we were there. We were a little surprised how far of a walk it was from the beach it was. We had brought my mother and grandmother and they both found it difficult. It was a good 20-30 min walk for them.
The location of this bungalow is excellent - close to the beach, across from a park and a short walk to the bustle of the Waikiki strip. The house is older, but nicely updated to have all of the comforts and still retain it's character.
Having stayed at other Hawaiian Beach Home properties (all wonderful to great), our stay at the Diamond Head Bungalow is now added to the list. Close to everything, walking distance to Waikiki beach - shopping - dining - attractions, the quiet neighborhood and secluded nature of this classic home were just what my wife and our house guests appreciate. Able to enjoy the activites of the Park across the street, jogging up Diamond Head or around the local streets, whether for the over active - or "pool loungers" (like my wife and me)who can take in the sun and read our favorite novelist in the tropical poolside setting...the Bungalow is recommended to all. Enough bedrooms and baths for everyone in this homelike setting...and the kitchen / dining room made gatherings for meals complete. I was pleased enough to offer my email for any response or conversation on the Diamond Head Bungalow, anyone my have
What a wonderful place. If you are looking for a one of a kind experience on the Oahu island, this is it. We enjoyed so much our days in Paradise. Only wish we could stay longer.
Diamond Head Bungalow was nicely located, away from busy streets and near enough to the beach. The children loved the pool and hot tub. A plan with the location of the grocery stores would be handy! Highly recommendable.
Great house, private pool sanctuary, great location close to all of attractions
