What a gorgeous house that was really comfortable for our family and well-stocked with games. You've done a beautiful job keeping the original charm of the house. We loved the close proximity to the beach for daily walks.

I booked my family and I this VRBO for a place to all stay together for my brother’s wedding. There were 6 of us and my 4 year old niece. It was everything advertised! Beautiful views from the patio, gorgeous walk to the beach, and walking distance to a Starbucks, which we appreciated. Although, there is a coffee machine in home as well! It was a perfect place to have meals together and get ready for my brothers wedding, and not a far drive to Los Gatos. My only feedback- the pull out beds are more of a full size bed instead of a queen, so if you plan to have people sleep on them, you may want to account for one adult on the pull out bed instead of two. The couch was comfy, so I slept there while my husband took the pull out! Host was very responsive and helpful, and there are tons of board games/coloring supplies for kiddos!

Not enough room for all the stars I’d give this rental. Comfy clean and spacious; as good or better than the pictures. Every item you would ever need in the kitchen, every item you would ever need for your time on the beach. Deck area is spectacular, close to the beach great views. Parking! Yes! We felt like guests borrowing a friend’s home. Thank you Lori!!!!!

Our family stayed for just under a week at this property. We enjoyed our visit but would likely not return to this property. Great: Location, with a view of the lagoon and beach, lovely outdoor dining area and sitting area with a firepit to sit at night. Good: The host was communicative, outdoor grill, nice assortment of beach chairs, body boards, and family games were provided. Bad: Showers leaked, obvious long-term rental with a lot of deferred maintenance (e.g., bathroom stair detached, hole in wall) stained sheets and towels, debris under couches and beds, etc. The patio door looking out over the lagoon was lovely to keep open, but there was no screen, so bugs would fly in starting around 4 p.m. Ugly: Ventilation fans did not appear to work, mustiness spell permeated the rental, mold in several areas, especially bathrooms. As a result of the mustiness, we ended up leaving a day early.

We loved our family vacation at Aloha Kai. Views of the lagoon and a quick walk to the beach. Thanks so much for the great aloha atmosphere!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Hale Kai! The layout is perfect for families with a large dining table in the middle room and the large eat-in counter kitchen (which was very well-equipped). We used the grill and the gas firepit on the deck and enjoyed the views! A super-nice surpise were the VCRs and VHS movies...my 4 year old grandson LOVED the Disney movies! A few things did detract from our visit: There were temporary street plates in front of the house on Portola Drive, which made a lot of noise at night (but who can predict the utility company schedule?), some grime on the floors when we arrived and pet odors in some of the rooms. To Lori's credit, I didn't contact her during our stay simply because we weren't there much during the day and we didn't want to have to repack our things for a cleaning crew. I did let her know upon check out though, so it could be rectified for the next visitor. The front yard, outdoor shower, beach gear and numerous amenities inside the house were a wonderful touch!

Our family enjoyed the open space within the home. The beds and couches were very comfortable. The atmosphere was relaxing and the beach was a 4 minute walk, which was perfect. We appreciated use of the beach chairs and beach toys.

This property was very well set up, comfortable and was very clean. The little one really liked the front and back yards. We all enjoyed the short walk to the beach at Corcoran Lagoon. Within walking distance to some restaurants and grocery stores. In inclement weather, there were lots of movies and books. Very easy to work with the owners, who were very responsive to our questions. Highly recommended!
