10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
We have stayed in Manini Point House several times now, and it's so wonderful. The house is always sparkling clean, comfortable and ready for us. We love the location, proximity to the beach and authentic Hawaii vibe--we're so grateful to stay in this neighborhood. Elizabeth and Steve are fantastic hosts. It's one of our favorite places to be.

Lovely house, interesting neighborhood and neighbors
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
The house was amazing, the location even better than we expected. We walked to Manini Beach every morning with our cup of coffee.The hostess, Elizabeth, was so thoughtful to have a huge fruit basket waiting for us. The beds were all so comfortable and we loved the covered patio for hanging out together and eating at the lazy susan table. It worked great for playing Scrabble! The beauty of the grounds and the house more than made up for having to hear roosters!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
This is a wonderful house, has everything a party of 6 could need, the location on the bay is fantastic, and the owners are great. However, the neighbors (local Hawaiians) did not seem happy we were there. When we sat on the deck talking (no loud music) they would yell "quiet" at 10 pm on a Saturday night, which really put an abrupt end to our fun conversations. When we put on music during the day, they would turn up their music so loud that we could not hear our music, we soon gave up on playing our own music. The neighbors made us feel quite unwelcome. Their roosters start crowing at around 5 am, so be aware that it will be noisy (and the upstairs bedroom does not have windows you can close, just screen windows).
