Beautiful, Great Space, Convenient, AWESOME!
by Christy PWe had never done a VRBO before and you never really know what you are going to get till you get there. The rental process was SUPER easy. Our property manager was always quick to respond. The house was like brand new inside and the view/access to the water was amazing. Very spacious and the kids love the heated pool, swimming off the dock, fishing, kayaking, and of course the apple TV's. Every amenity was thought of from the kitchen to the beach chairs and towels. You feel secure with a private driveway gate and garage. The description online was spot on with only one improvement needed. It wasn't completely clear that there wasn't AC in the main kitchen/living room area. This really wasn't an issue because the entire back of the house is sliding glass doors/windows with screens and the breeze was so CONSTANT and beautiful. All the downstairs bedrooms had their own AC units. It was so easy to jump in our cars and go anywhere. Would rent this home again in a heartbeat!!! Absolutely beautiful!
Luxury property in East Honolulu
by Sonny SThe pictures don’t do this property justice. A beautiful, open, airy waterfront property with a dock, heated pool, 5 bedrooms, and plenty of space for everyone. Power security gate at the front of the house provides privacy and safety. Jenni was responsive and extremely accommodating. Highly recommend.
Great stay
by Adon AThe house is beautiful and the property managers were great. I would definitely stay again.
