The Treadwell House was perfect for our family group of 5 adults and four teenagers.Leilana was an amazing host who responded immediately and helpfully to our questions and requests. The location, a short distance off the highway, to the secluded house, across the front lawn through a gate that led onto a perfect, beautiful beach, with clear sparkling water conducive to snorkling, could not have been better. West facing, the house delighted us with spectacular sunsets every evening.The kitchen and living room provided ample spaces for conversation or quiet reading, as we chose. The spacious deck which opened out from the kitchen/living room was large and perfect for gathering at all times of the day and night.Nearby stores were easy to reach and a midweek trip inland to the Waimea Farmers Market introduced us to fresh locally grown food and to the friendly local farmers.Yes, there were geckos in the house but we soon got used to them. If you're looking for ostentation, luxury and crowds this is not for you - if you're looking for a thoughtfully designed, inviting, comfortable, charming well-equipped family home on the beach, consider the Treadwell House. A unique experience in every way.

Very unique setup! It felt a bit like a camp as we had 3 separate buildings and then one building had a kitchen/living area, but bathroom doors were outside of main living area. We were slightly shocked to find several geckos living in the kitchen when we got there at night! This is a VERY open air rental with NO AC, so I must have missed that info when booking. There was a scorpion in the bathroom and I did contact the owner about having someone come to spray for that and she did. After renting several VRBOs this is the slowest responses I have received, even though this was a holiday season, a little surprised at that when I was concerned about geckos and a scorpion!It was clean, just older and not quite what we expected for the high price we paid. The location is nice, but several people took over the beach on the property so it isn’t your own beach while renting and you will need to put chairs out to save a spot.I would recommend the owner update the instruction book for detailed checkout instructions as they were missing and I had to ask.This is a nice place to have a family vacation, just a little too open air for those with allergies and bug fears. It felt a little weird not being able to lock things up well as it’s so open and you really can’t use the bathroom at night without going outside to walk to one at night if your room doesn’t have one attached.Cool concept for the right families who aren’t bothered by those things.Had Some nice touches like games/cards!

Great location for beach, off the beaten path for other activities. Access is unique and more unusual after hours, requiring dealing with a gate and gate lock! However, house is comfortable and secluded. Guests wake to nature sounds, birds and chickens (roosters) each morning.

Coming from New York City, it took me a minute to adjust to the indoor/outdoor living, but this was a perfect place for our family to gather for winter break, including grandparents and kids. Hearing the sounds of nature and the ocean at night was magical, and being able to walk down to the beach during the day was great. Leilani was a great host, responded quickly to our many questions which made it easy for us to settle in. The natural beauty surrounding the property is stunning, and we loved the easy access to Beach 69 and Hapuna Beach. We loved our stay at the Treadwell House!
