The home was beautiful, and the views are unbeatable. The host responds quickly - usually within 15 minutes. This did feel like a long time, though, when the fire alarm in the house went off after we used the provided hair dryer. (No fire!) We couldn’t turn off the alarm, and the phone number provided was automated and said they’d call back. It was faster to message on VRBO, and they responded in about 12 minutes. Luckily the alarm turned itself off in that time, but it went off again a few minutes later. It was in every room and the exterior of the house, so it was very loud. They had a team member at the house within 15 minutes to check it out which was incredible timing! The power also went out in a small storm during our first day, and it was out for 5 hours. We also had no cell service due to the storm, so we couldn’t notify the host and had to just wait it out. Luckily, when the rain stopped and we waited for the power, the pool was worth using! The A/Cs kept the house very comfortableThe home location is through Waianae. Keep this in mind if you plan to do things on any other portion of the island. It took us 1-2 hours to get anywhere (especially the north shore), so a lot of our trip was spent driving. But the home itself and the neighborhood it’s in is beautiful. After everything, we still recommend this home. But be prepared for the extensive drives if you don’t plan to stay on the west side / Kapolei (which has plenty of stores and restaurants)

We had a great stay, a wonderful house with amazing views. Just as described and pictured. We would definitely stay there again.

My stay was impeccable. The house was beautiful and every room was comfortable felt like I was back home. The host was lovely and responded quickly. Would definitely stay again!

I wanted to like this house. When we came in and the carpet was badly stained, the bathroom fixtures were loose and most of the beach equipment was damaged we thought maybe it’s just regular wear and tear. What we found that was unacceptable was a surprise prompt to collect $45 for “a worry free stay” (Whatever that means), vodka bottles under the bed, hair and pubic hair in the bedding, dirty linens in the bathrooms and a community that is ravaged by homeless and drug users. Don’t believe the pictures, they are out of date and even though the community is gated, don’t think you are going to venture less than 30 minutes to get to a place that is safe. To be clear, a few of these issues we contacted the host about and they offered to send someone to wash the linens (Because I always look forward to strangers in the house I’m renting for something that should have been done), a replacement umbrella (Which we declined because we didn’t need it after that and had already lugged a broken one to the beach), and asked us to take pictures of the uncleanliness (Not my job or something anyone should have to do on vacation). As we discovered more stuff I didn’t bother reporting it because I would have spent half my vacation taking pictures and reporting on things that should have been inspected by a property manager in the first place. If you find the number of bedrooms at this price a good value and worth booking anyway, you will at least do so knowing what to expect.
