We enjoyed our stay in March 2019. The studio is as it appears in the pictures and has everything you need, as well as access to an external gas barbecue grill. The studio faces mauka, that is, inland, yet is in walking distance of the beach. The mountains inland are ruggedly dramatic and rise almost straight up. The outdoor shower is a nice feature and the owners provide all the gear you may need for enjoying the many beaches of Oahu. We met Angelo only once and he was very welcoming. He told us about a trail that goes up a pocket valley inland from Ka'a'wa and gave us directions to the trail. Ka'a'wa is a small and quiet community that has one 7-11 and a barbecue restaurant. Just around the corner is Kahana bay, which has a very nice beach and surf that reminds us of Waikiki's. The surf there is popular with surfers using standup paddle boards equipped with hydrofoil wings. A river enters the bay and may be floated inland.

Very lovely place, great hosts. Beautiful mountain views

We enjoyed our stay, and our hosts were attentive and made us feel welcome. Being away from the bustle of Honolulu, and an easy drive to the North Shore made the location ideal for us. Mahalo to our fine hosts!

Very nice views. Very accommodating host on a nice view. Lots of space and nice kitchen and bathroom. Recommending to all my friends and family will return 10/10

The first time we came to O'ahu, we stayed at a resort. This time we opted for a different experience. Angelo's studio apartment was perfect. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The pictures on VRBO are true and accurate. It had everything we needed. We borrowed a couple of chairs, an umbrella and a cooler and spent a day at the beach. The washer and dryer are conveniently located in a common breeze-way adjacent to the apartment. We rented a car from the airport and drove directly to the rental unit. It was easy to find and parking was right out front. We are from the desert, so we enjoyed the island breezes with the windows open. Angelo promptly responded to texts and was available for any questions. We would definitely recommend this rental. 😎

This was our second visit here on Oahu. Last year we spent our time in Honolulu but this place here is much better to enjoy the time on the island. The property is really comfortable, clean and has everything what you need in place. We had close rides to the North Shore, Honolulu, beaches and hikes. Angelo is a wonderful host and we will retun definitely. Thanks for a wonderful week. Aloha&Mahalo.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at this property. We were part of a yoga retreat at a nearby retreat center and this was incredibly convenient. Property was lovely, close to the beach, with its own friendly set of chickens! Everything was clean and serviceable. A reminder to folks who have not visited Hawaii before that most places use the island breeze instead of a/c.

I didn’t rent a car for this trip for my friends daughters wedding at Kualoa Ranch & her home is a little over a mile from here, so it worked out perfectly for me. It’s located nearly midway from North Shore & Honolulu, so either direction you travel is great. My first impression was that the pictures & descriptions of the property were dead on but the pictures don’t do justice to also how beautiful the scenery is right out the front door. Angelo was very accommodating and easy to contact. I did have the pleasure of meeting him. Yes, you are somewhat a ways from stores & such so you do need to bring groceries, snacks, coffee & such but everything else you could need is here. I brought Ziplock baggies to keep things in that I didn’t want the humidity to claim. It’s very quiet, calm & relaxing - I looked forward to coming back in the evenings. Loved it here! Aloha!

At first I was a bit disappointed how far out the suite was from everything. But we ended up loving our stay. It was convenient to everything on the island of Oahu with short drives to north shore and all around. The unit was comfortable and clean. We felt right at home each day after our adventures. Angelo is a great host

We had a great week in Kaaawa and staying at Angelo's place was a good decision. Clean, quiet and convenient. It was a close drive to any of the hikes, sights and beaches we wanted to check out. We would definitely recommend it. Mahalo, Angelo!

Angelo really took care of us. This was our dream vacation & on our 2nd day I broke my leg & had to have surgery later. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay we could in spite of my circumstances. I would highly recommend this adorable studio for any couple visiting Hawaii. We will be back to try again some day!

A very friendly place and super clean. We enjoyed returning after our days out and relaxing tucked away in Kaaawa. We highly recommend it. Matthew and Elaine

My husband and I were in town for a family gathering and this was a perfect location for us. Close to the beach and beautiful mountains behind you. Cute little studio that had everything we needed, a kitchen, washer and dryer and awesome outdoor shower. Angelo is a wonderful host, we only wish we could have stayed longer!

Angelo keeps a very clean apartment. It was as pictured upon our arrival. He was quick to respond to any questions prior to arrival, but we did not actually meet during our stay. The kitchen seems well appointed, but we did not cook. There are no extra amenities (BYO hair dryer, beach towels, soaps, etc.). There is some noise bleed from the larger attached unit (through open windows) and from chickens roaming the neighborhood. This area of the island has very limited tourist attractions and restaurants, but it's a good choice if the local vibe is what you're after.

Angelo and Danielle were perfect hosts. Accommodations neat, tidy and simple. Could use a few more items in the kitchen, but we had a wonderful stay. Attending a wedding at the nearby Kualoa Ranch? Then this is the place for you! Want a quiet, hillside gem? Then this place is for you. Thank you for having this property on HomeAway/VRBO!

My wife and I were very happy staying in this home. Everything was neat and clean and Angelo made checking in and out a breeze. The kitchen had exactly what we needed, and there is a million dollar view of the mountains from the front door. There is also a wonderful outdoor shower for use coming home from the beach. I even enjoyed "talking" with the chickens in the morning. Mahalo!

My husband and I stayed at this house for a week. It was decorated super cute and the space was so accomodating. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved watching tv and drinking coffee in the morning while never leaving our comfy bed. Gorgeous bathroom and shower and the neighborhood was nice and quiet with a great view of the mountains.
