My group of 8 adults and 3 kids ages 7, 4 and 11 months old stayed at the rental for a week. The house was clean and equipped with everything we needed. House was very large and could have comfortably accommodated a larger party. Owner was great to work with. The only unfortunate part about our stay is we were not able to use the pool because it was very windy and the water too cold for swimming. Overall, we loved our stay at the house.

The location of the rental was great. Plenty of room for our family of 15. With a little TLC this could be an amazing property. I didn't feel the property was prepared to receive us. A few suggestions would make this rental exceptional. Upon arrival the floors were dirty and a white powder residue was on the counters. The refrigerator was dirty, the trash cans in the garage smelled bad. We are from Indiana and the pool was colder than Lake Michigan. Perhaps a heater for the winter months or a solar blanket would have made it more enjoyable. The way the 2 story house is positioned the sun does not shine on the pool long enough to warm it up. The grill was in poor working order. After a call to the property manager he promptly fixed it as best he could but the grill will need additional repairs or replaced. The dishes, pots, pans and utensils were not evenly distributed between the 2 full kitchens. There was 1 spatula to share between the 2 kitchens for eggs, pancakes, grilled cheese etc... we were constantly going from 1 floor to the next to use the spatula. Providing beach towels, pool and beach equipment was great. The baby gate was much appreciated as we had little ones. A suggestion for a booster seat or high chair would be helpful. Overall the house provided a nice place for our vacation.

We were disappointed upon arrival as there were quite a few issues that needed to be addressed. For example: the air conditioner in the upper master bedroom was so loud it sounded like a jack hammer, the toilet seat in the lower master bedroom was broken, the shower head in the lower master bedroom was broken, there was no way to lock the sliding door in the lower master bedroom which is ground level. After contacting the property manager these issues were dealt with very promptly, just not a great first impression. On top of this the home could use a good deep clean, there were piles of dust and debris in many of the corners and the upper couch is VERY dirty. I had emailed about 2 weeks prior to our arrival asking if there were beach towels, I was told by the owner there were, but upon arrival found there were not any which was very frustrating because we had to go out and buy some. Had we known we would have brought some. There are plenty of white towels, but we were concerned to take these to the beach in fear of staining them. The hot tub needs work, many missing and loose tiles, my son cut his back on a tile and my sister cut her toe. The out door furniture is in very poor condition, mostly unusable. The location is good and easily accessible to almost anywhere on the island. The neighborhood is quite and safe. Walking distance to Walgreens. Safeway and Costco are very close. Hanauma Bay is a 5 minute drive away. Koko head is about 10 minutes away. The beds are comfortable. Overall we were satisfied but this house could really be amazing if these small issues were tended to. The house is great for large groups, we had 14 people (10 adults and 4 children) and there was plenty of room for everyone.

Many reviews end by saying that they'd stay there again. Well, in this case we liked this property so much we did stay there a second time, and we'd stay there again a third time!! Our entire extended family of 16 ranging from 1 year old to 51 years old fit comfortably in the house. Even more amazing is that our three vehicles, two mini vans and a Jeep, all fit side by side in the driveway so none had to be parked on the street. The large pool and hot tub are a central gathering point and the kids were in the pool at least three hours a day. During the second week at the house the hot tub began getting a little grungy; one call to the local property manager had pool maintenance on site within a couple of hours for a painless fix. The beach toys and boogie boards are all upgraded and the four boogie boards were the same Costco carries. These are a big step up from the cheapo boogie boards sold in discount stores and made boogie boarding much more enjoyable! Other upgrades are newer air conditioning units in each bedroom and very large newer washer and dryer. The location of this property on Oahu can't be beat. While being situated in a quiet neighborhood, a short walk takes you to Teddy's Bigger Burgers, Kona Brewpub, Leonard's Malasada Truck (not to be missed!), Zippy's, Starbucks, or the movie theater. Hanauma Bay's snorkeling wonderland is one mile away. Awesome boogie boarding, and lots of elbow room on the beach, is 15 minutes away in Waimanalo. 15 minutes in the other direction puts you in Waikiki. Using the two well stocked kitchens and propane BBQ grill saved us a lot of money as we cooked many diners at the house. With Costco, Safeway, and Longs Drug all just 5 minutes away, getting groceries and beverages is painless. Fresh fish from Costco on the grill was a huge hit with all ages! The amazing location and amenities of this house made for an unforgettable and truly amazing vacation for all of us. I would heartily recommend this house to any large family or multiple families vacationing together on Oahu. Joe U.

Susie's home was perfect for our family vacation to Hawaii! The close proximity to beaches and some grocery options was a huge plus! We LOVED hiking Koko Head and having a hot tub to relax in after the hike! It's literally just up the road fro Hanauma Bay, which was one of our favorite spots! The kitchens are well equipped with dishes, and cookware. The entire home was honestly exactly what we hoped for and so much more! Thank you!!!

My wife and I spent 2 weeks in this house with our daughter, son in lW and three children. We had a wonderful time. The kids loved the pool and hot tub, and used both every day. Being close to shopping and restaurants was great, and we would frequently walk to Costco or Safeway (about a 15 min. walk). We very much enjoyed our stay, and would recommend this house for any large group. Thank you to the owners for allowing us a little extra time at check out, so we could get every one and their belongings moved

Location was great with shopping, movie theatre and many food places within a short walk. With 5 grandkids ages 10 months to 12 years, the pool was great entertainment for them. It was also very nice to have so many bedrooms to accommodate all ages of kids and adults. It was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay we would highly recommend to anyone considering staying here.

This home was in a great neighborhood, close to church, beaches, stores, restaurants, gas stations, and tourist spots. While sometimes it felt a little far away from places that we spent a lot of time at, like Kualoa Ranch, Lai'e, etc., we didn't mind, as it felt like we were coming home each and every time.The property manager/owner really knew how to set this unit up. It came with 13 beach towels, more white/bathroom towels than we counted, a great washer/dryer, extra blankets, sheets, and pillows, and enough beds for more than our party of 15 actually needed. The two kitchens were really convenient, allowing our multiple families flexibility in eating, and especially as we had Thanksgiving at the property, where we needed to cook more than one turkey and all the trimmings.The proximity of the property to stores like Costco and Safeway meant that we were able to buy in bulk in just a matter of minutes, and the BBQ grill in the backyard, though older, was just what we needed to cook up steaks, hamburgers, hot dogs, and other grill items.All the kids/cousins really enjoyed the pool, while all of us older folks, including the grandparents, spent a lot of time in the hot tub, which was hot and ready for us when we arrived.The owner/property management company was flexible with us on check-in and out, and even had a closet full of beach toys, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, and more.With two family rooms and TVs/cable and wifi, we were online at home, able to work remotely when needed and watch TV/Youtube/Movies when we needed/wanted to.We can't say enough good things about the property -- thank you to the for helping us get ready to go with the paperwork, as well as having a property that felt like home!

This was our family dream vacation. Our house had everything we needed, the pool was fun for the kids. We had 13 people staying and it could easily accommodate all of us. The location was great with many shops and restaurants in walking distance. We really enjoyed sharing most meals together. There was a large dining room table in the lower kitchen that we could fit around. I highly recommend this place, can't think of anything I would change. Thanks Suzy for sharing your house with us.

We loved our stay. The location couldn’t have been more perfect!! It was close to everything. We had 11 family members enjoying the 7 bedrooms and 5 baths. The pool was a real plus along with the 2 living areas. The main floor kitchen could use some updating and the couches are very low and soft, but we made it work. I would rent it again! A great time was had by all👍�

This property can accommodate large groups of people in comfort. Bring nothing as this property has it all. Very close to the motorway/freeway with a quick easy drive to Honolulu. Good localised shopping and beaches. A beautiful pool to relax in after a hard day of shopping. Plenty of parking for four vehicles if required. Mahalo from the New Zealand Spearfishing Team

Everything you need to enjoy Hawaii was there, beach toys, towels, snorkel and masks, wake boards, you name it. Hot tub and pool with outside access shower, hoses to was off sand, shop vac to get sand out of car, washer and dryer, plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, kitchen tools, you name it, its there..Big screen tv's, Wi-Fi, like being at home. 2 complete kitchens, 5 bathrooms. Location 5 minutes from beaches, blowhole, Safeway foods and Costco, mini mall and restaurants. Too much to name.

Our family of 14 had a great stay at this house. Our ages range from 16 months old to 90 years old and the location was perfect. We walked down to the little shopping center every day and it’s very central to everything. The property manager was wonderful and very prompt with all of our needs. I would definitely recommend this home.

Our family were really impressed with your home for our stay. This property was ideal for our 11 family members. More than enough bedrooms, dishes, refrigerators, TV's and table space. Lots of beach toys, chairs, and coolers to take with us to the beaches. The location was awesome as we could go to the Mall for groceries a short distance away. It was also very central for travelling to the east shores and Waikiki also. Not too much complaining about no dish washer as we used paper plates lots and everyone chipped in to help clean up. Please buy some new can openers as the ones there are useless. All in all there were plenty of towels to go around and bedding. We did not use the TV cable access as we just watched Net flicks! Many thanks to the neighbor next door for helping with the garbage and recycling. We had an issue with hot water one day as we used the washing machine several times and 3 showers. The recovery time for hot water was about 6 hours. I called Daven and he had a plumber investigate. The pool & hot tub was the thrill of a lifetime for our granddaughters. Great house though and great Island of Oahu. Thanks again. The Annala Family

This was once in a lifetime gathering to celebrate our retirement with our children and their families. We could not tell you a single negative with the home. It was perfect for us.

We were a family group of 13 of all ages from three to let's just say retired! The neat self contained upstairs downstairs arrangement worked for us. The oldies slept downstairs, the youngies and their kids all upstairs. We loved the space and privacy that the house configuration offered. The grandkids were only a stair climb away. The weather was warm so the wrap around pool and hot tub were a Godsend. Because the owner has a shed with pool floaties as well as snorkels and fins we were able to use freely, everyone enjoyed the pool including the three year old who found his alter-ego Spider-Man floatie suit in the shed. He and Spider-Man became inseparable! With self contained kitchens both upstairs and downstairs, we had breakfast on our respective floors and BBQ dinners on the patio overflowing into the downstairs dining area in the evenings. Each family group took a turn to cook the evening meal for all. Such fun with gourmet meals prepared every night we were home. We discovered a fantastic luau nearby, Chief's with the ocean backdrop behind the outdoor seating and stage area. Tattoos for the kids, weaving and activities for the adults made this evening a memorable conclusion to our trip. Tip: Costco nearby for bulk food shopping so bring your card. Use the well stocked drugstore in the nearby shopping center (walking distance) for random food items you run out of. Shopping center also has a cinema (took the grandkids to a matinee on a dreary day). Also used the nail salon with the grand daughters getting their toenails painted. Ice cream place also a must stop!

First off, the location on the SE side of the island is great. You've got about a 15-25 minute drive to Waikiki / Honolulu depending on traffic. Hawaii Kai has plenty of dining options and the home is close to shopping, entertainment, groceries, etc. The home itself is as advertised. The top and bottom floor are almost identical. On top, you have one master bedroom with full bath, 3 other bedrooms, a shared bath, and a kitchen/living area. On bottom, you have another master bedroom with full bath, 2 other bedrooms, a shared bath, and a kitchen/living area. The kitchens do not have dishwashers, so you'll wash your own dishes (this really wasn't a problem for us, just a minor inconvenience). The washer/dryer is in the garage. Each bedroom has its own A/C unit which comes in handy. They work fairly well to cool things down, but it's really not needed especially at night. We did alternate between using A/C and opening windows and allowing the breeze through the home. Be aware of the hot water supply when showering - we ran out a few times when everyone showered back-to-back. It's not surprising so we just staggered our showering for the rest of the trip. The living space was a bit on the small side but that's clearly stated and shown in the property description. We had a group of 10 and were able to all eat together in the lower level eating area. The pool and lanai area were great. The grill outdoors was a nice option for cooking and there was plenty of seating out there. The pool itself was LARGE and the hot tub was a nice touch. There's even a bathroom out there which is a great idea to shower off after a day at the beach or so the kids don't have to run in the house wet to use the bathroom. Overall, this was one of the few properties on the island that fit our budget and had enough space for our large family, a pool, and was anywhere near Honolulu. For that reason alone, I would absolutely recommend it to others. You just can't find many properties with this size, location, amenities, and price.

Lovely big house with plenty of room for us all. Loved the pool & spa. Great to have all the snorkelling gear etc. Perfect location for us, short drive to Waikiki but a also a short walk to the Hawaii Kai marina which is also lovely. We could have done with more cooking utensils as we were coming constantly running between the kitchens. A great base for a Oahu vacation.

We leased Suezi's home for our recent family holiday on Ohau. We were a.party of 9 adults and 2 todlers. Home while a.little dated was well presented and suited us very well. While we didn't utilise the pool the heated spa was excellent. Davin the managing agent was also very responsive. Would recommend for any large group. Thanks Suezi for letting us use your home.

House was perfect for 11 adults over the Thanksgiving week. Shopping center within walking distance for last minute pickups. Easy drive to many sights and attractions around the island. The home was one of the best we've stayed over 20 plus years. We have recommended to several friends. A vehicle is necessary.

We were a group of four families combined, ranging in age from 4-40. It worked wonderfully for us all. The two kitchens allowed us to spread out and the kids loved the bunk beds. We were able to walk to restaurants and stores and the view of Koko Head was amazing.

Good service when something broke, AC-unit collapsed we got a new the same day. Good location, i recomend the Kona Brewing restaurant and pub, really nice! The thing i didnt like was the ants in the kitchen, otherwise it all worked and we are satisfied

Our overall experience at the house was very comfortable and relaxing! The location is amazing and it's in such a great neighborhood. The house itself had enough rooms for all of us! We were there for a graduation and birthday celebration and there were 15 of us and each family was able to get their own room. It was great to see that they provide spices, toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap, and tons of towels! They also provide you with coolers which is great since they came in very handy when going to the beach.The only thing that was a little sad was that the hot tub never really worked even after the maintenance person went to repair it. That was pretty sad since we were all looking forward to that!! They also are amazing and provide some beach stuff like chairs and toys, snorkeling gear and other beach stuff, but they were a bit older so didn't really work so well, but we can't complain since we were not expecting that to begin with. Overall though, it was such an amazing house and a great experience!!! Loved our time there!!!!

We spent a week here while exploring Oahu. This home was just right for our large family. The layout of the house was good for both adults and kids (some of which were teens). Two main living rooms gave us plenty of room for quite time and play time. The rooms are sort of tucked away which provided privacy. The location was great, we walked to shaved ice, Kona Brewing Co. and Walgreens when we ran low on milk. We hiked Koko head and relaxed by the pool. The owners were very friendly and easy to work with. I felt it was priced fairly for the size and amount of people the home accommodated. I would surely stay here again.

Really enjoyed the neighborhood of Hawaii Kai and Portlock. The house is big and roomy and accommodated 17 of us with ease. Denise the property manager was also super friendly and helpful. Kids loved the pool and the hot tub and having 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms made it really easy to accommodate everyone. Would recommend this home without hesitation for large groups or multi-family events and vacations! Thanks!

Love the house awesome location close to different stores. Great for 2 families with kids highly recommend and will rent again in the near future will recommend this property to anyone it was well maintained

We found that the best beach for young children was Waimanalo Beach. You can either go to the beach park on the South side of Waimanalo, or go through Waimanalo (past the McDonalds) and take the first right into a much less crowded part of the beach. We would also like to comment that Denise, the property manager, was very helpful and professional. She answers emails right away. She gives her private cell number to call in case of problems. We tripped a circuit breaker on the heater for the hot-tub. When I called Denise she fixed the problem right away. The house had a powerful air conditioner in every bedroom, but my wife and I never turned ours on. The trade wind brings a pleasant breeze through the windows that kept us cool at night. All in all, this home is ideal for large families that want to explore Oahu and also spend time together in the home. If we are ever fortunate enough to get our family back to Oahu, we will definitely rent this home again.

We had 11 people ranging from 87 to 13 months. House was set up great for our group, so nice to have the space outside for overflow and of course the weather was always so much warmer then Oregon and Washington at this time of year it felt wonderful just sitting outside. Everyone had their own rooms (although our teenage girl took over the living area upstairs for her retreat) which worked out great. Got a lot of use out of the hot tub, the pool was a little chilly at this time of year for us, so only the brave dove in, swam fast and got into the hot tub. Denise was great to work with, she came over on Christmas Eve morning we had run out of hot water and she got us reset and had lots of hot water then. She was very responsive and helpful, as well as Suzie they both sent us ideas of things to do around the island that were great. Location in Hawaii Kai was wonderful -- easy access to shopping, restaurants and activities. Explored the windward side and leeward, went up north one day for surf lessons. Not sure if it was the holiday week, never got into Hanuma Bay the parking lot was full by 9 am both days we tried and the Dole Plantation was very busy, 1 1/2 hour wait for parts of it. Some of our adventurers hiked up the Koko Head trail (right by the house) and got to see President Obama and his wife going up as we were coming down, shook his hand. Very exciting for the 7 year old to report back to her class at school. We found the Island Snow up in Kailua and it was so yummy and great beaches went back a second day and saw his daughters at the shop in the Island Snow line. Definitely need cars to get around ... we had three and lots of parking available, rented a little scooter for Great Grandma to be able to experience all there is on the island and she enjoyed taking it around the neighborhood, Nice neighborhood, felt very safe, met the neighbors who were very friendly and helpful. It was all a great experience and would recommend highly.

This house is definitely gorgeous! I was very relieved upon arriving to find that the house was exactly as pictured and described. The only thing that wasn't clearly articulated is that the 5th bathroom is actually outside the house as a pool bathroom but it functions just like any of the others, it's just on the side of the house as opposed to actually in it. The pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing during the day and night, we also used the grill several nights and it was a very good added bonus! We walked to Koko Head just fine (but don't try to take a shortcut by cutting behind the baseball field....it doesn't work out). Hunauma Bay isn't really a good option to walk to because the street up to it from the house is very steep but if you are staying out in Hawaii Kai then I recommend having a vehicle anyways so that isn't a big deal. There are plenty of shopping places nearby and you should definitely check out Kona BrewCo which is in the shopping center very close to the house. Also close by is Sea Life Park and Waimanalo Beach which are both great areas to visit (I highly recommend Chief's Luau at SLP). There was plenty of room for all of us in the house and having two kitchens and two livingrooms for such a large group is PERFECT. There is even a second exit area that the upstairs group can take when leaving the house. The only thing I would say is to make sure it is very clear what all is expected to be done with the house upon check-out and take detailed pictures and/or videos of the house right when you arrive as well as when all of your stuff is gone and you are about to turn in keys. This came in handy for us when it came time for our deposit to be refunded. This is a good rule of thumb no matter where you stay though, not just particular to this house. Overall, we loved the house and thought it was the perfect location to get out of crowded Waikiki!

Brought the family and kids, everyone loved the pool! The location was close to everything (costco, walgreens, fastfood) and most importantly roys! The only thing is that one of the rooms does not have a working AC, other than that we loved everything about this place! Oh make sure the spa is full of water or else the spa heater wont work. :)

Well, 7 families, all with kids stayed here and it worked out great. There were about 20 of us total and we all fit. The 2 kitchens and 2 living spaces definitely helped to accommodate all of us. To me this house was also in the perfect location. Right near Koko Head, right near Haunama Bay, and just about 20 minutes to everywhere else. There are also tons of places to eat, grocery shop and all that within just one mile. This includes Costco. There is also a within a mile that had all of the water sports (in which we definitely partook). The house itself was well maintained, clean and had everything we needed for cooking and feeling at home. The woman who is the landlord was also very easy to reach and accommodating to our needs in the middle of the trip. The pool and spa definitely got plenty of use too. Thanks so much for loaning us your house. I would definitely stay again.
