The house was very spacious, and the layout enabled people to have privacy as well as enjoying shared spaces. The property is even more attractive than the photos on the VRBO site. It was clean, and had weekly pool service and landscaper services. We ate on the lanai every evening. Very useful to have two refrigerators, and the pool house. Used the barbeque a lot. The property manager was quick to respond to any of our questions/requests, and was able to allow us early checkin. The beach is a 5 minute walk from the house, and it is not crowded, even during the holiday season. Kailua is ideally situated for day trips to the North Shore,, Ala Moana mall, Pearl Harbour, and other sites. we were a family group of 7 adults and 3 children, and had plenty of space for everyone. The extras, such as lawn chairs, pool toys etc. made trips to local beaches very easy.

I cannot state enough how wonderful our stay was. The house, pool, ocean, everything about our stay was perfect. We made wonderful family memories that will last for the rest of our lives.

10 of us came back to Hawaii to see family and needed a large house to stay in. We had 4 kids (ages 2-9) and 6 adults so we knew we wanted something with a big yard, a pool and beach access so we weren't constantly driving and could relax. Julie was so helpful and made getting everything ready as well as check in go perfectly. All communication and info regarding the house was very organized and professional. The house was beautiful; great space, perfect layout to all hang out together but also have privacy and quiet with the kids. Everything we needed for pool and beach was there and a huge and well stocked kitchen for our family meals. The beach was probably a 5 minute walk with little kids, maybe 1 minute of that on the main road, not bad at all. Beach was perfect for children, and seeing how tough it was to park to go anywhere we were so grateful to be able to walk. Great coffee spot about 5 minute drive, town with fun shops, grocery and restaurants just past that. We went into Honolulu a lot and it's a quick 25 min drive on Pali. I wasn't too familiar with this area previously but now that we have stayed here, everyone agreed we would love to come back- it was so convenient! If I had to list anything to improve upon I would really be searching but it would have been nice to have a counter / shelf in the bathroom to put toiletries on. Otherwise this house was perfect, we would love to come back and stay and would recommend this highly!

The house was just what we needed for our family of ten - from 95 years old to 25. Multiple large spaces indoors and out to sit, talk and eat, including two big tables. 5 bedrooms, each with own fans and AC (which we mostly didn’t need due to cool ocean breezes). Two shared baths for 4 bedrooms and one in master suite. A beautiful pool for relaxing, and a 5 minute walk to a very Long Beach with fine white sand and waves to boogie board. Plenty of beach stuff, chairs, umbrellas, and a wagon. Snorkeling beaches are a short drive south to Lanikai. Even a covered outdoor sitting area with a TV, fridge and bathroom. Kailua is a 10 min drive for everything you need, including some very good restaurants. Some good hikes and botanical gardens also nearby. And Julie was a joy to deal with! Just what we’d hoped for catching up and having a relaxing time with our family!
