My family and I came for the month of June and our stay was absolutely wonderful. This property is truly steps away from the ocean. The snorkeling was amazing on the reef just our your door. I think our favorite spot was on the hammock by the ocean while my husband was playing chess with the boys. I was nervous about no AC in the main building during June but there is a constant breeze through the house and we were never hot. It actually added to the experience to live in the open air. If I could give more stars, I would. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us!

Perfect location. Just far enough away from town to feel rural and close enough to access everything. Our property manager was charming and attentive. No complaints.

If you’re looking for the authentic Hawaii experience this place is for you! We woke up to the sun rising over Rabbit island and the sound of the rolling waves every morning. Kids learning about the ecosystem from local fisherman at the fish pond just outside the house. Gentle waves in front and the sea so picturesque that you forget about everything. Literally paradise.
The property is perfectly maintained with all the luxury amenities you could ask for including kayaks, snorkels, beach chairs and everything in between.
Gilles, the property manager was so sweet. We had fresh tropical flowers delivered to our house upon arrival and always felt well taken care of. Even the neighbors came by to introduce themselves.
If you want to know the real Hawaii, get out of town. Get remote and listen to wind, the sea, and sun. This is the spot. We will always return to this home when coming to Oahu.

Beautiful property with quiet beach!
Our family really enjoyed our stay here. It is such a beautiful location with calm waters, perfect for our kids and my 78 year old mom. It is away from the crowds and so relaxing. The snorkeling (ample gear at the home) right our the door was a good as Hanauma Bay without two thousand other people there. Gilles the property host is responsive and efficient.

An absolutely beautiful location and property! A dream! It was very clean and kept up very well. The three buildings on the property allowed for some quiet time and a little separation. Gilles was very accommodating to us when our flight arrived early for check in time. They allowed us to drop our things off and welcomed us to relax on the patio and beach while the cleaning crew finished their work. We highly recommend this property and can’t wait to book it again in the future!! A wonderful experience!!

Our extended family of 12 (ages 12-72) rented the entire property for five nights and truly felt like we were in heaven. :) The views and location are absolutely perfect. We watched the sun come up every morning over Rabbit Island, snorkeled and kayaked in the clear blue water (equipment provided, for which we were very grateful), cooked meals together in the gourmet kitchen each evening, enjoyed soaking in the lovely hot tub listening to the waves crashing just steps away. So many things were provided for our convenience and enjoyment that I can't even list them all! Linens, LOTS of dishes, toiletries, numerous appliances (rice cooker, Vitamix, a Brita water filter), beach towels and chairs, laundry detergent, even sunscreen and bug spray. Many thoughtful touches throughout the home and property. Gilles was a dream to work with, very laid back and available if we had any questions. We loaded up on groceries at Costco on the way from the airport, and took a drive to Kailua to pick up a few things from Whole Foods, but any other items we were able to buy at the local grocery store down the road. Several outings nearby that we would recommend: the Lighthouse Hike, snorkeling at Hanauma Bay (go early - no charge or crowds if you get there before 7am), the Ka Moana Lu'au at Sea Life Park, and ice cream from Dave's. Also would recommend the Poke Bowl and Medi Bowl at nearby Ai Love for anyone vegetarian/vegan (we are not, but loved them anyway!)

This house was the highlight of our family vacation. Plenty of room for our family of 7. Breathtaking views. We woke to see the sun come up over rabbit island every morning. Property manager, Gilles, was very helpful, kind, and responsive. The ocean view, the yard, the beach house with the hot tub, turtle pond, great snorkeling, calm waters, kayaks, beautiful house with all the amenities... all these things and more just made our stay delightful. We definitely want to go back!

Perfect family getaway!
Property couldn’t have worked out better for my sister and I with our six children (ages 9-19). The beach At the property has great snorkeling and no surf. No need to worry about the little ones. 5 minutes down the road, great body surfing at Waimanalo beach. Any issues with the property Gilles was very attentive and there immediately to assist.
Renting the three buildings allowed for everyone to have their own space.
Truely am amazing spot with all the amenities within 15 minutes away. Can’t wait to return.

Fabulous vacation in paradise!
This beautiful beachouse has everything to host a fantastic family Hawaiian holiday! The main house was the hub for our family. It has a large covered patio with seating for all of us to hang out have drinks, BBQ and enjoy meals together. The setting, ocean views, white sand beach, birds chirping, cool ocean breezes, coconut trees swaying. Activities, safe ocean swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and boogie boarding (waves 5 minute car ride), walk waimanalo beach, read a book on a lounge chair, Bocce ball, bathhouse with jacuzzi.
My huband and I hosted my mother in law, brother in law, and our two adult sons. This property allowed the six of us to have a fabulous vacation in paradise! We can't wait to come back!

The house and especially the beach are much better than what pictured.
We had a lovely family reunion at Pahonu Beach Estate. There was so much room for peace and quiet time, come together time, and play time. Between playing in the beach, snorkeling, kayaking, and hot tubbing, the kids didn't feel the need to go anywhere. We saw turtles swam in the water right behind the house. The beach was beautiful. My 80-year old dad went kayaking every morning. I loved that the house came with so many water toys. Gilles was so helpful and just fantastic with every thing. Thank you for the coconuts Gilles.

Wow!
We came with our family spanning in ages from 5 months to 70 and the property was perfect for everyone! Plenty of things to do, a beautiful view, and plenty of room to spread out or all gather together. Beautiful beach out front and a yard for kids to play. If we ever come back to the island, we will definitely look in to staying here again!

A piece of Heaven
What a special place you have to see it to believe it the ocean and the mountains are magical. My family and friends (4 adults, 3 teenagers and 2 preteens) Loved the two houses and studio. We snorkelled a lot and saw a turtle on the first day we hunted for five days for another sighting and on the last day there it was again lucky us. The Kids loved playing in the rocked protected pools Knee deep at low tide for skimming balls and playing frisbee and at high tide it was great for swimming it is like the biggest out door pool with fish.
We will be back.

Dream House!
We went on a family trip from Japan.
The estate was perfect! Paradise of earth.
You have a private beach, which I think is one of the most beautiful beach in Oahu.
The Jacuzzi house was great after a long swim at the beach.
The property manager Gilles is a great guy and it's our third time renting an estate from him.
We'll be back for sure!

Wow ! spectacular ...
Our family of 8 was fortunate to stay at this Estate for one week. I will say that it was truly a vacation of a lifetime for all of us specially our kids. The property is gorgeous, the beach is spectacular,if you want to get away form the crowds, this is the place to be.A drive to Waikiki is a 35 minute away, were as Kailua is only 15 minutes north. The bay is calm, so snorkeling and kayaking are pretty good. You will not be disappointed!The ocean views from the master bedroom and living room verandah are incredible. We will be back next year !

Amazing Beach Front Compound
We celebrated an early holidays at this beautiful Waimanalo estate. The photos don't really do justice to how beautiful and private this home is. With a main house, cottage and apartment on the property, everyone not only had space, but privacy as well. The peaceful lagoon out front is protected from the ocean waves and currents and perfect for even small kids to go swimming in.
Not only was the property gorgeous, but Gilles took care of everything we needed. As it was the first time the main home was rented out, there were a few kinks that needed to be worked out, each time he came right over to take care of things. Gilles even rushed over to give us a jump after the kids left the car doors open overnight.

The property is very unique and was perfect for all us!
We had eight adults and with the three separate structures everyone was able to have some 'alone' time as well as utilizing the main house for big gatherings. The view is spectacular front and back! You have the beach at the front and the mountain range behind the house which at sunrise is spectacular. The jacuzzi house is a great addition and was a welcome place to hang at night!!
