Perfect for our family, including five adults and three teen girls.

Very convenient location to beautiful beaches, restaurants and shopping. We were in Kailua for two of our teens gymnastic competition. The pool was a bit cool but the girls made great use of it every day. And the hot tub was wonderful after long days. The house was very well stocked.

Large family home in Kailua

Our family of seven enjoyed our weeklong stay at this beautiful home in a residential area of Kailua. Beds were comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Safeway market was walking distance for supplies. The backyard has a lively pool and spa. There’s a beautiful beach a 20 minute walk from the house and the town of Kailua is a short drive. Beach towels & chairs were provided too. Highly recommend staying at this wonderful home..

Hawaii Family vacation

This house was exactly as described and more. We were in Hawaii as a family for my brother-in-law retirement from Marine Corps. This house allowed us a space to hang out as a family - grill, use pool and hot tub but also a good spot to hit many attractions -Waikiki, Sandy beach, diamond head and more. Kitchen , bedrooms and bath rooms are also very nice. It was a great place to stay - Wow!

Beautiful home

The pictures are accurate. There's a large pool, and a hot tub on the property, with a large yard for playing games in - with privacy from the road / neighbors. There's an outdoor seating area to play games and watch TV. The master suite is separate from the 'main' house - which is also nice. 4 spacious bedrooms, and a nice kitchen. The location is nice as well, you're pretty close to a bunch of restaurants, Target, Safeway, etc. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Family Reunion

This was a wonderful space for my family to reunite for a celebration of life. Cousins, aunties and uncles from all over were able to join us for an evening in a beautiful and comfortable space. We enjoyed quiet time with our adult children on the lanai and by the pool on a surprisingly quiet street. Thank you

Amazing location and Property.

Fantastic place for family and friends to gather! Property is really amazing; accommodations, gathering space, pool, backyard, distance to beach and other daily needs could not be better. We were a bit worried about the big road behind the house but this was not an issue what so ever. The only thing I would comment on is the overall cleanliness and specifically the kitchen. At this price level we expected something better! Kitchen is equipped OK’ish but very messy and not clean. Would not take much to get this property to a very impressive level all around.

Great stay for our first Hawaiian visit

House is as advertised, in a very nice residential neighborhood. Amenities were very close by. Chris and Sara were wonderful hosts, answered our questions promptly prior to booking and made themselves available if we had issues (we didn't). If I had to mention anything, the second shower in the house was a little small but we had two other bathrooms so not a deal breaker by any means. If I'm ever in Oahu I will definitely try to book this property again! Thanks Chris & Sara for your hospitality!

Peaceful retreat

We stayed with our 4 kids (6-12 years) & my parents. We appreciated the pool & hot tub, backyard with avocado & plumeria trees, space to spread out or gather. Nice neighborhood & location, away from the busy of Honolulu. Kitchen well-stocked. Host responsive when sheets didn’t fit correctly. Downsides - some beds/bedding could be updated. Pool very cold (kids braved it, but hard for adults) - though admittedly we were there in December. Overall, great stay. Lovely home.

Lovely home, lovely time

We truly enjoyed our visit this past week. Though our visit was a celebration of life and not the happiest of times it was wonderful to come together as a family. Chris and Sara's home is truly beautiful and peaceful. We had a delightful time. Chris made himself available to us via phone when we called regarding our not locating the broom. We feel terrible for leaving the floor dirty after 5 days but we never could locate the broom. There were a few ants in the kitchen and the Keurig, but we quickly solved the problem by placing all the food in the refrigerator and not using the Keurig and buying a can of spray which we left behind for the next guests.

Family get away

We had 5 adults and two children (2 and 3) stay in this beautiful home for a week. The house is very spacious with lots of room for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable. The outside yard and pool area were great, lots of space for the kids to run around. They have a nice covered patio with comfortable seating and a tv that we use every night while the kids were inside sleeping. The house was well stocked, very clean and a great location for us. The "primary" suite has its own entrance of the pool area which was nice privacy for us grandparents to use. Owners were quick to respond with any questions we had. The only downfall of the place was that the pool was not heated. This would probably not be a problem in better weather but we happened to be in Hawaii for unusual rainy, cloudy and windy weather for this time of year. Although the air was warm, the water was too cold to really take advantage of. Just something to be aware of. However, the hot tub area was used a lot!

A 4.5 rating

We have been visiting Oahu since 1994 and have stayed at many houses. The pros: lovely and quiet neighborhood. Great kitchen-well stocked, individual AC in each room, beds were comfortable, pool, hot tub and yard (although the pool has no hand rail to help older people step in and out). 5 minute drive to great beaches and easy access to other areas of Oahu. The walkable beach (Turtle Beach) is rocky and covered at high tide so not really useable. Beach chairs and umbrella available. New master suite was great. Needs attention: BBQ was filthy and had not been cleaned for a bit. One of the queen bedrooms had a lot of noise from the outside (maybe AC) which made it very hard to sleep in. Small bathroom shower is almost unusable due to the shower head…perhaps look at changing. Kitchen table only has 4 chairs. With 4 rooms and occupancy of 8, there should be 8 chairs. There was only 1 hair dryer for all 3 bathrooms, at least that we could find. All and all, we had a very nice 11 night stay.
